Congratulations Ed and Danie

This past weekend Dave, his wife Amy, my wife Christina and I were fortunate enough to travel to Lexington, KY to witness the marriage of Ed Wicker (07') and Danie Newcomb (08'). The wedding was held in downtown Lexington and the reception was held at Fasig-Tipton(http://www.fasigtipton.com/), a horse sales company. The Honeymoon will be spent in Vegas. We were also joined by former Duquesne Swimmers, Scot Darwin (07'), Katie McHugh (08'), Sarah Schnieber (09'), Dulcie Swope (09'), Megan Stritch (09'), Jason Cassidy (09') and Kyla Favret (10'). It was great catching up with all of them to find out what they are doing "post-Duquesne Swimming".

Scott has just been hired as a middle school teacher and high school swimming coach in Virginia and will probably be the next one to tie the knot. Katie McHugh will be starting her new job tomorrow as an elementary school teacher at a year round school in Columbus, OH. Sarah Schnieber is working as a Speech Pathologist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital in Cincinnati, OH, Dulcie Swope and Megan Stritch just finished with their Physicians Assistant Degrees and are presently searching for employment. Jason Cassidy has packed his bags, left Duquesne and is headed West to San Diego and plans on living with Mike Semanchik (07') and will begin working on his Masters Degree. Kyla will begin the final year of her Doctoral Program in Physical Therapy here at Duquesne.

The reception was a blast! It was enjoyable to see everyone cut loose on the dance floor and it reaffirmed to me why they were all such great swimmers. No one could keep up with Coach Bocci......he showed us why he will be auditioning next season for "So, You Think You Can Dance." Best wishes to Ed and Danie on a long life together!

See you around the pool,
Dave
