View All Notes for Class of 2007Margi (Smith) Conn, Hayley (Stevens) Vanbragt, Kerry Snow, and Lindsay (Winingham) Pykocz traveled to Boston in July for the baby shower of Deb (Newburg) McCullough, who is expecting a boy in September. They somehow skirted a global information technology outage to enjoy their annual girls weekend full of lots of great food and even some whale watching.
The Cannizzaros (Nicole Mahr and husband George) and Chans (Blair and Chris) celebrated summer with a midway meetup between D.C. and Pittsburgh at Shawnee State Park. A good time was had by adults, kids, and pups alike!
Ben Reed and his wife, Adriane, welcomed a baby girl, Cecilia Frances Reed, on October 7. The family, including rat terrier Jack, are living in West Chester, Pennsylvania, after moving from Jersey City, New Jersey, in the spring.
Chloe Clifford and her husband, Chris Stone, recently welcomed their second child, Mia, at the end of September. Their 2-year-old son, Dominic, is a proud big brother. Chloe and Chris live in Los Angeles and are lucky to see fellow Westsiders Michelle (Glazer) Striowski and Judy McLellan ’06 regularly.
A big congrats to Kapil Kale, who got married to Holly (Johnson) Kale in Newport, Rhode Island, on September 28. Several classmates were in attendance, including Anoop Rathod, Nick Baum, Michael Murov, and Pooneet Kant. Kapil and Holly live together in New York City, where Kapil has been working as chief information officer (COO) of Tremendous, a financial-technology startup specializing in rewards, incentives, and payouts. Kapil’s father-in-law, Jeffrey Johnson ’81, was all too happy to bring another Dartmouth grad into the family and stacked the wedding guest list with alumni from several generations (check our Instagram account for a great photo). Congrats, Kapil and Holly!
Luis Dinnella-Borrego wrote in from South Florida: “I wanted to share some great news with the class of 2007. My wife, MariVi, and I are celebrating the birth of our second child. Gabriella Grisell ‘Gigi’ Dinnella-Borrego was born on October 1, 2024, in Miami. We are both incredibly happy and excited at this new addition to our family. We named her to honor my mother—Maria Grisell Dinnella—who passed away on December 2, 2023, after a short fight with cancer. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.”
Dane Schlossberg wanted to highlight that the ’07s showed out for Kate Coyle’s40th birthday in Soho, Manhattan. Tasha Sterling, Kristen (Grauer) Kittur, Nick Baum, Davida (Kornreich) Krupnick, and Sahiba (Sarna) Krieger were all in attendance. Suffice it to say, a good time was had by all! Dane is living in Manhattan and would love to connect with other classmates.
I got in touch with Heather (Strack) McCutcheon and Ali (Levine) Nuger after I saw their awesome reunion, with kids in tow, to see honorary ’07 Taylor Swift. Ali is living in Wellesley, Massachusetts, with husband Jon, kids Andrew (9) and Charlotte (7), and a very rambunctious puppy (Maple). Ali is the COO of a small private equity fund called A-Street. Her family now has a house in Woodstock, Vermont, and is in the Upper Valley often so if you are ever in Hanover, let her know! Heather lives in Denver with husband, Bryan, kids Clara (7) and Millie (3), and dog Ivy—a name she reluctantly chose after Bryan vetoed her more “prestigious” picks, such as Dartmouth, Collin, and Baker (he said Ivy felt more “down to earth”). When she’s not asking a neighbor to catch a runaway Millie (Heather’s still recovering from her 15th orthopedic surgery and can’t run yet), she works as a divorce attorney untangling complicated marital estates.
