Greetings to the class of 2000. I wanted to share some really good news! On August 19th 2006 I married the lovely Jan Scott Swetenburg in Charlotte, NC. She was and is beautiful. Allen Babcock was a groomsmen, and to my surprise, actually kept my head on straight during much of the wedding weekend. Several Darlington friends made it to Charlotte for the wedding, and for that Jan Scott and I will always be grateful. I have one more year of Divinity School at Duke in NC. Please give us a call if you're ever in North Carolina!
