Frank Martignetti submits the following online:<br />
“I’m in my second year of teaching college as<br />
an adjunct, at the University of Bridgeport.<br />
I love it! I direct the University Singers and<br />
Chamber Singers, give lessons, and teach one<br />
class a semester in music or music education.<br />
It’s great! I’m in my fourth year at High School<br />
in the Community in New Haven, where I was<br />
hired to start a music program from scratch in<br />
2003. It’s been rough, but it’s finally there. There<br />
are a few aspects of it that are suspiciously like<br />
Band/Chorus... This past spring, the New Haven<br />
Symphony gave me their Excellence in Music<br />
Teaching Award. That was humbling, as it usually<br />
goes to much more experienced people. I’m living<br />
in New Haven (a great town these days) and have<br />
room for guests if anyone is passing though!”<br />

all over her, though we are not quite as happy<br />
to be experiencing sleep deprivation again. I’ve<br />
posted pictures at my blog, http://francaseplace.<br />
blogspot.com. In addition, I also began the MBA<br />
program at Georgia State University. I continue<br />
to work for Bank of America after a promotion<br />

Atlanta, so if you happen to be in town, drop by!”<br />

from Germany to Chicago and bought a place<br />
in Naperville. I also transferred my commission<br />
from active duty Army to the National Guard and<br />
now I am training future officers for service in<br />
Iraq and Afghanistan. I accepted a management<br />
position with Caterpillar and have been working<br />
there (quite a bit I might add!) since mid-<br />
December. Beyond the necessary settling in, my<br />
next big event is that I will be getting married on<br />
September 29th, 2007. So all in all, lots going on<br />
but definitely very positive across the board.”<br />

If any Regians are interested in doing hurricane<br />

roadtrip should I make a fifth visit, please<br />
email me at esimkobednar@wesleyan.edu. An<br />
