I'll go next..

Chris, you have always had a great way with words. I remember that letter to the editor you wrote about our team, must have been 15 years ago. I still have a copy! I’m amazed how many people have been “found,” and love hearing what y’all are up to now. My story… I majored in biology at Cornell and swam all 4 years (IM, backstroke, mid-distance free). Then I went to UNC for my masters in marine biology. I also started swimming with the UNC masters team and did a few open water races each year, and a few triathlons (ugh). Fun swimming anecdote: my grad school advisor’s son, Chip, swam open water with us once – he was about 8 yrs old then – and this year he won the open water 10k world championships and the USS summer nationals in the mile. Must have been my positive influence. Anyway, in 1999 I married Brian (from Cornell), we bought a house in Chapel Hill, and I got a job at RTI International (environmental research/consulting-type thing). Our first son Sean was born in March 2003, we moved south of town to the middle of nowhere (also called Pittsboro, NC) in 2004, and then Eric was born in April 2005. I've been on "leave" from work since Eric arrived and probably will be until the kids are in school. Having lots more fun than I ever expected to as a mom! We spend a month every summer in Sodus Point, a tiny town on Lake Ontario where Brian's family lives. Hope to spend full summers up there when the kids are a bit older (NC getting way too hot with all this global warming). My parents moved back to California when I was in college, so haven't been back to Oak Ridge since then. Sean starts real USS swimming lessons this summer – it’s the circle of life! I have a website of photos at http://home.nc.rr.com/sullivanfamily. Occasionally I do take photos of things other than my own children. Really. And would love to see photos of everyone and all the kids, post them if you can! Hope to see you all in 2007! -Liz
