CLASSNOTES
Carolyne Crowe
I met Ollie Crowe who was doing his equine surgical residency in 2001. I qualified in 2002. Married in 2006 and have two wonderful children... out of four of us in our house we all married fellow clinicians or students from the RVC!!!
Vanessa Howie
James Howie and I were both RVC 2000 graduates. Got together in the third year, married in 2007 and now have two children. Can’t believe where the last twenty years have gone....
James Russell
Still proud that my comment on surviving the RVC made it into the alumnus magazine: ‘Find someone in the year above you who is cleverer than you are and go out with them’. 20 years later, three daughters together and they’re now all cleverer than me!
Hannah Sampson
2001 graduate, married a 1995 RVC grad. Poor Barney ended up doing all the RVC parties more often than necessary. Nearly 17 years married, two daughters and over 10yearsrunningapracticetogether. The RVC has a LOT to answer for!
Jemima Mead
My husband and I are both RVC graduates, he was three years ahead
of me. We never met while he was at College. We were introduced by a mutual friend at the May Ball of my fourth year. He was back playing old boys football. We stayed in contact for a year but didn’t see each other until the May ball of my final year when we started seeing each other (2006). Six years later we married and now have two beautiful daughters.
Antoinette O’Hara
I met my husband Laurence O’Hara during final year Equine surgery rotations in 2007. He was the surgery resident helping me with an isolation case... how romantic! We now live in Maine and have two boys.
Lucy McMahon
I met my husband when we were both interns at the RVC having both been RVC undergraduates in different years. We worked in the QMHA for quite a few years. We have four children now. So we have a lot to thank the RVC for!
Catriona Miranda Dominguez Wagstaff
I didn’t technically meet my fiancé at the RVC but when I was a student completing EMS between second
and third year I went and did my pig placement. He was a farmer and he let me stay with him during my two week placement. It was a bit kismet because we lived hundreds of miles apart but now six and a half years on we are planning our wedding this summer. And no; I am DEFINITELY not the vet for his farm I don’t need that sort of pressure.
