in a crowded, loud, but very blessed household!<br />

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 />

earlier this year into the Business Capital (Risk)<br />

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

damaged houses so that they can be rebuilt. This<br />

was my fourth trip to the ninth, and Chris’ first.<br />

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

relief work, or coming along on a grand southern<br />

roadtrip should I make a fifth visit, please<br />

email me at esimkobednar@wesleyan.edu. An<br />

all-Regian house-gutting crew, complete with<br />

crowbars, respirators and collared shirts, would<br />

be a sight to be seen.” Nicholas Zimick and<br />
