CLASS NOTES | SUMMER 2026 | 53 ‘Off-Track Saratoga Podcast.’ The program is a lifestyle show that focuses on local hot topics, storytelling and must-listen-to interviews. I’m hoping Lehigh alumni will tune in! “My husband, Rob, and I are also happy to report that our older son, Mac, has taken to wrestling as one of his favorite sports and is thriving at the youth level. He is competing at the NYWAY state tournament! It’s funny that for a year I lived steps from Grace Hall where some of our country’s best collegiate wrestlers competed, and now I’m a full-time wrestling mom! Our little guy Ace is just getting started, too! Go Lehigh!” Amanda Daddona is engaged to Joshua Bochman of Southington, Conn., and she and her daughter have just moved in! Julie Kluft announces the “adoption of my puppy because I’m not having more children!” Andrew Sharkss just launched a new community-based app called Charlie’s Angels Walking Club, named after his pet dog, Charlie. The app brings together like-minded people with dogs who are looking for companionship as they walk. Andrew bootstrapped the app from his bungalow in Venice, and it has already reached 1,000 customers, with plans to go nationwide. Lauren Anderson-Smith and Garrett Smith welcomed sons numbers three and four when their mo-mo twins, Felix and Iliya, arrived early on Feb. 8 (original due date April 20). Big brothers Enzo and Lachlan are excited for more friends to play with. Alan Abeel has been working on the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope at NASA Goddard and will be working at the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral for the summer and early fall for the launch. Congratulations to Melissa Rich, who was inducted into the Parkland High School Athletic Hall of Fame, where she played basketball. “During my time, I scored 1,282 points and was named the 2005 Scholar Athlete of the Year. The ceremony took place on January 9 at Parkland High School in Allentown, Pa.” Betsy Hritz recently changed jobs after being at Just Born since graduating and started as the director of specialty sales for Frankford Candy Company based out of Philadelphia, Pa.

Fast-forward about 10 years, we ended up naming our dog Fritz after all the long hours we spent at Fritz Lab and happy memories we collected along the way! “While at Lehigh, Mikey joined Delta Phi and I joined Alpha Gamma Delta.
