The first two books in Andrew Ambraziejus’ young-adult “Pizza Chronicles” series — “Why Can’t Life Be Like Pizza?” and “Why Can’t Freshman Summer Be Like Pizza?” — were published in 2020 by NineStar Press. Linda Liba Casson-Nudell, P’08, P’11, announces the arrival of grandson Asher Myles Nudell. Asher’s parents are Yoav Nudell ’08, an oral and maxillofacial surgery resident at the Brooklyn Hospital Center, and Lauryn Benson, and his aunt is Talia Nudell ’11. Hal Davis is founder and chief executive of Art Luxe Homes, hosting boutique rental properties in the north of Thailand and the south of France. He was formerly a managing director at Citigroup and Deloitte. Seth Watkins writes, “As a solo legal practitioner, I’ve found my current boss is the best one I’ve ever had. He leaves me plenty of time to enjoy my home in Union City, adjacent to San Francisco Bay; my congenial neighbors and friends; the many feral cats, raccoons and possums who come twice daily for lunch at Uncle Seth’s; and my work on various projects. The project that consumes most of my time is an article on biblical Hebrew poetry, which, contrary to accepted wisdom, has demonstrable rhyme and meter. It continues to be a wonderful life.”
