Hello all! I got married last summer and presently living in
NYC with my husband Ben Patton. Aside from practicing dermatology,
I'm pregnant and expecting a baby in June. Exciting times!

Jennifer Patterson Parrack: Hello
from Arkansas! We never check in, so here goes... My husband, John
Parrack (also '93) and I moved here to Arkansas (!) in 1999 after
finishing our PhDs in Spanish Literature at Penn. After a few years
of commuting around the state, we managed to end up in the same
department at the University of Central Arkansas. We have two kids:
Kate will be 6 this year and Will just turned 4. Even though they
keep us busy, we somehow managed to get tenure-- a relief for us and
a great disappointment, somehow, to our friends who want us to move
back to the East Coast (if only academic jobs came in pairs...).
Wish we could be at reunion. We'd love to catch up with old
friends! (5.18.2007)

Karen Ehrhardt Billingslea:
Marshall and I are settled back into our Capitol Hill home after
three great years in Brussels. He is acting as the Deputy Under
Secretary for the Navy and I continue to stay at home with our two
daughters aged 5 and 3. Looking forward to catching up in Hanover.
(5.18.2007)
- Alex Kaplan: After living in Memphis
for four years teaching high-school English, I moved to Boston in
June of 2006. I spent the fall teaching English for international
students at Suffolk University, and I now teach 6th-grade Reading &
Writing at Boston Preparatory Charter Public School. In the fall, I
will teach 9th-grade English there.
I moved last summer because I met a woman who lived in Boston. As
I write this, her name is Lisa Schorr, but by the time we get to
Hanover for Reunion, she will be Lisa Kaplan. Our wedding will
be/was May 27th in DC. There's lots I could tell you about her, and
I have some info about the classmates I've been able to keep up
with, but let's catch up in person. I'll see you at the Reunion.
(5.4.2007)
- James Land: Hello from Iraq, I am
now a Major in the Army and am here working as a psychiatrist
treating detainees and US forces working with them, so I won't be
able to make it to the reunion this summer. I certainly miss green
New Hampshire. My wife and kids, Austin age 6 and Raina age 4 are
living in Landstuhl Germany, but plan to travel back to Honolulu for
several weeks this summer while I am away. I will stay safe and I
wish everyone the best. (5.3.2007)
- Sara Olsen: I'm excited that my company,
Social Venture Technology (SVT) Group, was profiled in April's Fast
Company magazine: www.fastcompany.com/investing. Along with our
collaborator's firm we have created the HIP framework, which
assesses corporations Human Impact Profits. This builds my
experiences the past 10 years working on the measurement of
extra-financial impact for investors, companies, foundations and
NGOs. You can check out our rankings of 21 public companies on the
magazine's site and check your own company's HIPness!
In other news I am hoping to bring my partner, Arzhang, to
Hanover for the first time this spring! (4.12.2007)

 Munir Haddad:
Munir and his wife Laura (Smith
'97)
are doing great in Southern California. They continue to
travel up and down the coast of California (or at least I-5) from
the Los Angeles area to the San Francisco Bay Area. Home is in 'the
Valley'. Pete McHugh and I have been trading emails about the fact
that we live about 10 minutes from each other (real time, not
hypothetical time, if you've lived in LA you understand).
In the SF Bay Area we see
Tim Reidy and his wife Lesley
(Smith '94) and their two lovely daughters Caroline D'25 and Kendall
D'27 all the time. Tim continues to train for his shot at the Tour
de France. I've witnessed him cranking in the Tour de Sausalito.
When not training he seems to be taking my money at poker, so I'm
hoping the riding thing takes off...
We see Pete Essig from time-to-time. He lives down in the
Costa Mesa, I never really realized how big a distance the Los
Angeles Metro covered but I think it would be easier for me to take
a flight from Burbank airport to John Wayne to get together than
hopping on a highway.
Tamar Gerber is in Denver, she and I were in the same city-ish
a month ago, but I was in the 'burbs and miles away from where she
lives. Tamar is working hard for our Class and the College on our
Reunion contribution to the Dartmouth College Fund.
I speak to
Anne, Beth and Veree all the time now as
we're planning for our reunion. I can't wait to see you all in
Hanover in June. (4.2.2007)
- Anne Tisi: For the last ten years or so, I've been
working in some form of Event Planning. The first question most
people ask me is if that means I plan conventions and trade shows.
The second question is if I can plan their wedding. Strangely
enough, I have never done either!
I've been very fortunate insofar as I've been able to choose varied
events in many different places, but the best projects have involved
some of the icons and landmarks of my incredible hometown of New
York. I think the highlights for me have been arranging parade
floats for the Radio City Rockettes and the New York Rangers,
managing the Aids Walk New York in Central Park, and most recently
co-producing Brazil Day in Times Square.
Another great thing about living in New York is that I get to see my
fellow Dartmouth alums every now and again especially Larry
Cook and Marsha Davis. Marsha is a social worker, and has
worked for the Administration for Children's Services for a number
of years. Her office is in the same building where Clinton has his
office. We are all hoping for a great Bill encounter story! Marsha
keeps in touch with Anne-Marie Mulagha, Amy Wiggins,
and Heather Craig '92, who also join in when Raj and Hally
come to town. If it weren't for Marsha, I don't think we'd gather as
a group as often as we do. Annie lives in Alexandria Va. She is a
lawyer in the asylum office at Homeland Security in Va & Atlanta.
Amy is teaching in Westchester and living in Peekskill. Heather runs
her own catering business, and works a project manager for Digitas
Inc - a digital marketing/advertising agency (when she's not
appearing on the Chappelle Show check out the last episode of the
last season)! She also plays a mean game of cards!
Larry has been living and working in the Village for the last two
years. He works at a hedge fund called Special Situations Funds
picking tech stocks. The reason I only see him at the beginning and
the end of every baseball season is because he leaves the city
behind on Summer weekends for the sand and surf. He writes: I keep
in touch with a handful of friends who are all popping out babies
right now: Sarah (Salih) von Maltzhan had baby #3, Jed
Buchanan had #1, Dan Rotenberg's wife is due with #2 in
June, and Andrew Vogel had twin boys in December. Me and my
NYC friends aren't involved in the baby boom must be something in
the water! We're still going to the Hamptons in the Summer, and
generally pretending we're younger than we are.
As for the world outside of New York (there is one?), I keep in
touch with my friends in the Midwest Renee B. Kalvestrand
and her husband Schorch, and Erik Schneiderhan and his wife
MP Stevens. I met up with Renee and her husband in Chicago last year
-- which is just too long ago! Renee has tried to get a group of us
East Coasters to visit Madison, which is central to the
Kalvestrand-Beckers and the Schneiderhan's. Don't give up on us yet,
Renee. We'll get up there someday
Also visited with Laura Thaxter last winter, and try to catch
up with her by phone at least once a season. She is in Marketing in
Boston, and lives in a lovely house outside of the city which she
works on in her spare time. She also brings news of Natalie
Weidener, her husband Stuart and her children, who have just
relocated to Michigan.
Finally, on the West Coast front, I talk to
Cathleen Millett
Thomas and Chad Thomas, who are living in San Mateo, CA
with their two boys Griffin (5) and Colin (3). Chad works at JP
Morgan Private Bank, enjoying a saner lifestyle after over 10 years
in investment banking with a brief respite at Stanford earning his
MBA. After years in advertising, product marketing, and marketing
for a couple of start-ups, Cathleen is now lucky enough (most days)
to stay home with the boys. In addition to the regular routine of
school and sports practices for the boys, she keeps herself busy
with board positions at their schools and in local organizations.
Those boys are adorable and I would just like to point out that
the Thomas' holiday card featured them wearing Stanford, not
Dartmouth (!), sweatshirts. We should all give them a little ribbing
for that one. (4.2.2007)

 Beth Krakower: Hi fellow Gen Xers! I hope to see you at
our (not quite) 15th reunion this coming June. I've been enjoying
the opportunity to help plan our schedule and am incredibly happy to
have reconnected with fellow chairs Anne and Munir!
I'm now in my 10th year of business with CineMedia Promotions, the
entertainment public relations firm that I founded.
I've spent a lot of time in Dartmouth-related endeavors. In addition
to being one of the reunion co-chairs, I am a club officer for the
Dartmouth Club of NYC, an Alumni Councilor, and remain an advisor
for Dartmouth Broadcasting and Alpha Theta.
I've got to spend time with many of our classmates through these
endeavors. I look forward to spending time every year with Jeff
Middents and wife Angela Dadak '92 at the Telluride Film
Festival, Jon Eliot who is a fellow alumni councilor, I get
to see Nicole Nelson, who is an attorney in NYC, and have
recently reconnected with W. John Burns who is in Boston and
working for Harvard Medical School. Erik Ochsner keeps
traveling the world as a conductor of the Lord of the Rings Symphony
and the Sonos Chamber Orchestra.
Congrats to Veree Brown for earning the Young Alumni
Distinguished Services Award at Club Officers' Weekend this
February!
I hope to see you all at our reunion this June! (4.2.2007)
- Lisa Yaffe: All is well in Philadelphia where I am
an appraiser of commercial and industrial real estate for city
government. (3.22.2007)
- Julie Clarkson: Greetings fellow
93s! David and I married in '99 and are now the proud parents of
Kate (almost 4 yrs) and Dean (16 mos). We live in Ponte Vedra Beach,
FL and David works for The Clarkson Group, a commercial real estate
company focusing mainly on building and managing hotels. He recently
passed his third and final CFA exam. I spend my days having fun with
our children and am the proprietor of Bagadoodle.com, an online
accessories boutique that is a hub for "indie" (2.12.2007)
- Alicia Walker: I just read the Almuni update for
our class in the most recent Alumni Magazine and finally decided to
send in an update. I don't remember when I last wrote, so I will be
rather general. After spending almost eight years in the NYC area,
where my husband Bryce Hundley '94 and I worked (him in theater and
me in a variety of fields), saw lots of theater (both good and bad),
and ate lots of great food, we moved back to my hometown in Michigan
in 2003. A couple of highlights of the past years include earning my
MA in French Studies in 1997 from NYU, with which I have not done a
thing, and in 2002 hiking in Spain with Ellen Reed'92 along the
pilgrimage road to Santiago, which was a life changing experience I
plan to trek again. Since then I have been working on my
photographic career and expanded the yoga practice I began in NYC to
include teaching, while at the same time trying to start a family.
After four frustrating years our daughter, Kellyn Sophia Walker
Hundley, was born October 27, 2005 and I have been leading a very
different life as a stay-at-home mom ever since. While I have
continued to work some in photography all along the way, I was happy
to return my yoga teaching this past fall after taking a hiatus for
the previous 14 months. Some of my photographic work can be found at
my website, www.awalkerpix.com. Bryce has gone back to school to
earn his CPA, works full-time, and enjoys being a full-time dad,
too. That's my life in a nutshell. I promise my next update will not
take so long! (1.20.2007)
- Nandini Joseph: Hello from Palo Alto! My family moved to California from Boston
2 years ago because of my husband's job. We have three kids now--8
year old (Zach) and 19 month old twins (Paul and Sonia). We are
enjoying California and see other 93's ( Rob Mascola, Kelly Foley,
Jay Stachowicz, Katie Roberts, Roberta Braum) often. Taking a small
break from medicine, but hope to resume work as an endocrinologist
soon! (1.14.2007)
- Craig Sakowitz: We are going to be hosting a
Mini-Reunion for anyone who lives or will be in the San Francisco
Bay Area on Groundhog Day (Feb 2nd). If anyone wants to join in the
fun, email Craig AT Sakowitz.org and I will send you the evite.
(1.4.2007)
- James Land: My family (Jordana, Austin age 5, Raina
age 3) and I have moved this summer from sunny Honolulu to foggy
Landstuhl, Germany. I am a child and adolescent psychiatrist in the
Army. Work is busy. We are settling into life here in Europe.
(9.20.2006)
- Kevin Fleming: I recently
finished my Internal Medicine Residency at Dartmouth Hitchcock
Medical Center, accepted a position as a Hospitalist at Concord
Hospital in Concord, New Hampshire. Built a house in Concord. My
children Ethan is now 3 and my other son Jason is 1. (7.18.2006)
- Jonathan Dunn: I'm now living in
Buffalo, NY commuting every couple of weeks to Manassas, VA where
I'm flying the Aircare Medevac helicopter. Aircare Medevac serves
the Northern Virginia/DC/Baltimore area and is affilliated with
INOVA Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, VA. (7.13.2006)
- Courtney Cook Williamson: Just a
quick note---especially to my class-mates who live in the greater
NYC area--I've left my job at Phillips Exeter for one at Collegiate.
I'm bringing my teenage son (remember John Michael), my daughter,
and my new husband. It's not as much of a stretch for me as it would
have been in 1993 when I was still pretty much a Wyoming girl. I've
been spending time in Manhattan for much of the last four years,
working on my new interests in visual arts, and my old interest in
creative writing. But I'm going to be looking for friends, old and
new and wanting insight into the best of the city. Let me know where
and how you are! (6.17.2006)
- Chris Clancy, MD: I'm happy to
report that I completed my child and adolescent psychiatry
fellowship at Mass General and McLean Hospitals in Boston and I'm
now working for Navajo Nation in Crownpoint, NM. I love the job and
the people, who endure incredible hardships yet retain a strong
sense of humor. I spend my weekends in Santa Fe, where I bought a
house with my fiance, Meredith. We live just down the road from the
ski mountain and we've taken up hiking with our dog, 'Goober,' and
telemark skiing, which is a blast. Meredith and I look forward to
seeing some fellow 91s, 92s, and 93s at our wedding in August!
(6.6.2006)
- Luis Paz-Galindo: After 5 years in Sao Paulo,
Brazil, I returned to the US in early 2005 and I am now living in
Scarsdale, NY with my wife Manuela and two daughters, Cristina (5)
and Daniela (3). Still working with private equity at JPMorgan
Partners. (4.16.2006)
- Peter Lorentzen: I'm currently living in San
Francisco and working on a Phd in Economics at Stanford Graduate
School of Business. (3.10.2006)
- Brandon Elliott: Probably my first
ever check in. I am living in Wilmington Delaware with my wonderful
wife Elizabeth and now 3 kids, Mason (7), Thomas (4) and Anna (1).
Life is crazy with three but I am loving it and would have it no
other way. To those 93s still out in Jackson Wyoming take a few
turns for me as I know the snow this year is fantastic. (2.3.2006)
- Sanjeev Dugar: I am working for
Novartis in Switzerland in a strategy role. Wife Nisha and two
lovely kids Sanjana (6) and Armaan (3) are enjoying the Swiss
life....who knows where we'll be in 2007! (1.31.2006)

 Lynn Rainville:
I finished my
PhD in Mesopotamian archaeology in 2001. Since then I have been
teaching at an all woman's college in Virginia. I divide my research
between ancient Assyrian cities and historic African American
cemeteries and mortuary traditions. In most endeavors I am
accompanied by my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Carbon. (1.11.2006)
- Steve Lobel is in private practice Pain Medicine
performing various injections and implants. Married since '99 to
Audia and 2 children, Molly age 3 and Alex age 1 (almost). I miss
EBA's. Haven't seen or talked to any Alumni since I bumped into a
former teammate on the streets of Norfolk VA in 2002. (1.4.2006)
