Jared S. Hawk, son of Russell E. Hawk, Jr., and Karen Marshall
Hawk, graduated from The University of Pittsburgh Law School in May 2004 (magna cum laude) and was admitted
to the Pennsylvania Bar later in the summer. Among the honors he earned during
his law school years were the Order of the Coif, an organization made up of students graduating in the top ten percent
of the class; the Order of the Barristers, a national organization honoring oral advocacy and writing skills; Executive
Editor, Journal of Law & Commerce; and the Best Brief Award, Appellate Moot Court Competition. He graduated in 2001 from Penn State

Jared and his wife Holly Mitchell Hawk make their home on the East End of Pittsburgh. He is employed with
Kirkpatrick and Lockhart in Pittsburgh.
2007 Update
Since the above article
was penned in late 2004, Jared and Holly have built a new home up the Allegheny River from Pittsburgh in Cheswick. And Jared's law firm
is now Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis LLP.

JENNIFER MARSHALL
From Family! (Vol.
III, No. 1, February 2007)
“As a child,
Jennifer traveled with me throughout Jefferson, Clearfield, and Armstrong Counties as I visited courthouses, libraries, cemeteries and assorted elderly cousins
for clues to the story of our Marshall Family. She was ever curious and perceptive,
blessed with a remarkable memory for details, and gifted with the ability to make connections.
For better or worse, I like to think those early forays into family documents, dates, names and places laid the foundation
for her life’s work in the field of archival studies and preservation administration. Jennifer is currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Library and
Information Science at the University of South Carolina in
Columbia. A 1994
graduate of Georgetown University with a degree in Russian (major) and theology (minor), Jennifer spent a semester studying
in Russia shortly after the break-up of the Soviet Union. In December 2006, upon successfully defending her dissertation,
she was awarded her Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh, where she had taught while pursuing her graduate degree. Jennifer has published multiple articles in her field and presents papers at archival and preservation
conferences several times a year. She shares her life with many friends and colleagues,
her family near and far, and her three cats.”
(Jennifer’s story is shared by her proud Dad, Kelly Marshall.)

CHRIS THOMPSON
From Family! (Vol.
III, No. 1, February 2007)
“Chris has loved and played
baseball since he was seven years old. He has always said from that time on that he was going to be a professional baseball
player when he grew up. He attended McGill-Toolen Catholic High School
[Mobile, Alabama] where he
played for all four years and lettered three of the four. For college, Chris attended Pearl
River Community College in Poplarville,
Mississippi (scholarship) for two years, and then Ole Miss on scholarship for
his last two years. He was drafted in 2004 by the Arizona Diamondbacks. His first full
year was spent at every level (A, AA, & AAA) of Diamondbacks minor leagues, but most of his time for 2005 was spent in
Lancaster, California.
Chris started his second year in spring training with the Diamondbacks, but he was traded to the Washington Nationals
to start the 2006 season with AAA in New Orleans. That
year, he was minor league pitcher of the entire Nationals minor league system for the month of July 2006. He finished
his season in Woodbridge, Virginia,
with a 3.00 ERA. If things go right in spring training this year, he will start
out in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
for the AA Senators.”
(Chris’
story is shared by his proud Mom, Alma Fletcher Thompson.)
November 2007
Update
Chris played for an independent league this past season, and his Mom reports that he had a great year. He'll
know sometime in late February or early March what's next in his baseball career. Best of luck from your
extended family, Chris!
