Jonathan “Bjorn” Adler is working on a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Northwestern Univ. in Chicago…. Karen Bilodeau has joined the law firm of McTeague Higbee Case Cohen Whitney & Toker, P.A., in Topsham as an associate. She graduated cum laude from the Univ. of Maine School of Law….

Most of her work will probably be on Chinese-language shows…. Jia-Horn Lin is at Columbia Univ.’s School of International and Public Affairs…. Lauren Lochner is back on Nantucket after completing her training as a massage therapist. She was planning a several-month trip cross-country and then to Thailand. She’d love to visit along the way. Drop her a note at lochnerlauren@hotmail.com…. Emily Evans MacLaury and Kyle Roman ’99 are in Minnesota; she’s teaching first grade at a Waldorf School…. Emily Pritchard was among the extras in Master and Commander. “You can see the back of my head for sure in one shot: I was standing when I wasn’t supposed to stand,” she said to a reporter in her hometown newspaper in Randolph, Vt. Emily won the part (even though the director wanted men) because she is one of a small number of people who can sail Tall Ships. It took an hour each day to transform her into a grizzled male sailor. While the only weather she battled during filming was created artificially, she had enough experience with real weather during her 19 months on the Picton Castle, a Tall Ship training vessel…. Sarah Terwilliger McDonough lives in Bristol, R.I., and is pursuing a master’s in higher education administration at Boston College. She expected to finish in May…. Paul Urbanczyk is working on a Ph.D. at Stanford…. Andrew Watterson redevelops historic buildings into “green” commercial offices and residential apartments in Cleveland.
