Congratulations to Abby Wilcox Berry (1985) and her husband Dan on the birth of Sydney Jane Berry, who was born right on time at 10:34pm on December 9, 2001.

Abby finished a second degree from UNCG, this one in accounting. Dan finished his MBA from Duke in August 2001 and took a job as the Chief Financial Officer at Duke University Federal Credit Union. The couple have moved to Whitsett, NC (somewhere between Durham and Greensboro, where Abby still works). dberry53@triad.rr.com

Julie Wolfe (1995) works as a community planner for the United Way of Cleveland County, NC, and is also a wedding consultant in the Boone/Blowing Rock area. This latest hobby happened as a result of planning her own wedding to Joe Young in June. Together with Joe's Australian cattle dog Aussie and Julie's golden retriever Molly, this group will somehow form a family and live in their dream home, under construction in Shelby. julie.wolfe@unitedway.org
