SCHAWOHL returned to Switzerland in Feb<br />

due to change in Indian visa rules that cut short<br />

her visit to Ahmedabad with partner Dave. She<br />

is concentrating on setting up a tourist info site<br />

& family have had a very shaky yr since Sep<br />

10 in Christchurch. They have had over 7000<br />

aftershocks since the big earthquake of 7.2<br />

magnitude. Life has been rather disruptive for<br />

the children’s schooling & they have lived with<br />

a constant fear of when the next big one will be.<br />

It has tested faith to trust in the Lord but he has<br />

been faithful. While they all feel emotionally<br />

exhausted, they can see the light at the end of<br />

the tunnel. David works in his confectionery pkg<br />

business; she continues to work with Leadership<br />

network & has completed hosting a 3 day pastors’<br />

conference. They caught up with JEFF &<br />

RUTH AUTY (S) on one of their home visits.<br />

Zareena in a grand & stylish wedding amidst<br />

the wild Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in Madhya<br />

Pradesh; it was amazing to see the number of<br />

friends who took the time to travel & be part of<br />

the celebrations, put together with great support<br />

by brother SALIL KUMAR ALI ’83. They had<br />

booked 2 resorts & we had a fantastic time. Attending<br />

TA PATEL CRAWFORD lived in CO for almost<br />

3 yrs, the best part was living close to NESA.<br />

However, after the birth of our son, Dylan, we<br />

decided to move back closer to family. So in Mar<br />

we returned to our old home. I was fortunate to<br />

keep my job with McKesson, now work out<br />

of my home. I run the marketing communications<br />

for a div, but also took on a product role.<br />

So between having a baby, the move & work,<br />

life is busy & good! Also keeping running, did<br />

a few races & trained for a half in Oct & Jan.<br />

Jean-Marc were delighted to welcome<br />

a Neil Banerjee Brisson, on Sep 29 10.<br />

The darling baby is perfect (except for<br />

the fact that he doesn’t sleep at night!)<br />

& mommy & papa are totally in love<br />

with him. Moni is enjoying staying at<br />

home, watching Neil reach his milestones.<br />

For the time being, they are<br />

living in the Washington DC region.<br />

They would have loved to attend the<br />

reunion, but logistically it will end up<br />

being too difficult with a baby. The<br />

update from KATE WOOD RICHER<br />

in Ottawa CAN is that I had my 3rd<br />

baby in the fall & for that reason can’t<br />

join you all at the reunion. My girls (3)<br />

& (5) are getting so big! I’ll be taking<br />

another yr or 2 off & then will be back<br />

to work as a lawyer with CAN’s Dept<br />

of Justice. NANDITA GUPTA is in the
