Class Notes
View All Notes for Class of 2010Hi, ’10s, Kate Farley here taking over as class secretary. Everyone please give a rouse for Jen Chong, whose tenure writing this column was extended above and beyond the call of duty due to the pandemic. As you all know, because it is impossible to play pong while social distancing, our 10-year reunion did not come to pass but fear not! The new class officers—James Cart, Chelsea Dodds Williamson, Cory Cunningham, and this reporter—are prepared to make 15 the new 10. There’s a joke in here about also shaving five years off our ages, but it’s past my bedtime, so the wordplay is left as an exercise for the reader.
On that note, please take a minute to update your Dartmouth alumni profile by visiting https://home.dartmouth.edu/alumni. Under “Alumni Help Desk” you’ll find a link to “Update Your Information.” This will help ensure maximum efficiency of reunion-related communications.
I write with the bittersweet news that friends and family of Christopher Stiriz Bustard gathered at Moosilauke Ravine Lodge on June 24 to celebrate Chris’ life. Chris, who was killed in an accident last December, was a true son of Dartmouth with deep ties to the College, and the family and friends who came together to remember him included numerous alumni. Chris’ life was remembered and celebrated by his parents, Elaine and David Bustard ’68; his wife, Kate Lyon Bustard ’05; son Teddy; and extended family, including Hope McIntyre ’11, Tyler McIntyre ’08, Jason Lyon, Jill Lyon ’13, Jeff Lyon ’77, and the many others blessed to count Chris among their relatives. Chris and Kate’s many friends from all walks of life traveled to Moosilauke from near and far to honor him, and included Abbe Cart, James Cart, Alex Hall, Alix FitzGerald ’07, Amanda Wong, Amy Madsen, Tu’96, Benjy Meigs, Bill Mitchell ’79, Caroline Kerr ’05, Caroline Ward ’11, Colby Chiang, Conor Grogan, Dan Kane, Tu’13, David Imamura, Elizabeth Mitchell, Emma Naim, Eric Richards ’11, Frank King, Greg Sokol, Gretchen Gehrke ’05, Hillary Turtle ’05, Isabelle Nichols, Jeff Spielberg, Th’11, Jess Blanch ’05, John Lane, Joey Dang, John Peter Smith ’09, Julia Saraidaridis ’05, Kate “Skips” Carolan ’05, Kate Huyett ’05, Kate Mulley ’05, Katherine Henderson ’11, Lauren Maynard ’06, Molson Hart ’09, Richie Clark ’11, Sam Ceppos ’06, Sarah Carden, Taylor Bennett ’05, Zach Roux, and Walter Russ. Attendees remembered Chris for his unflappable positivity, earnest good nature, tenacity (and the many ultramarathon medals he earned as a result), many academic and athletic talents, and notable willingness and ability to help others and create value in the world. Please raise your next glass of coffee or bourbon in Chris’ honor.
