Class Note 1974

I received a note from John Cart with wonderful news about an all-Dartmouth wedding. In August John’s son, James ’10, and Abbe Sokol ’10 were married in the Dartmouth Bema, an event befitting real college sweethearts. John and his wife, Diane, hosted the rehearsal dinner and an after-party sleepover at the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge. All survived. Others in attendance were the sister of the groom, Liz ’12, twin brother of the bride, Greg Sokol ’10, and many other members of the great class of 2010. Also present was Andy Wexler, friend of Abbe’s father, proving once again what a small world it is. The wedding was a non-traditional ceremony but one brimming with love and happiness. James and Abbe will make their home in Hanover for two years while Abbe pursues her M.B.A. at the Tuck School. John and Diane live in Buffalo, New York, where John is a dentist.

Mark Schulte sent updates on his two children. Last spring daughter Caroline (Bucknell ’16) graduated magna cum laude with a double major in political science and Spanish. She is currently employed in New York as a paralegal with Davis Polk & Wardwell and plans to attend law school in the fall of 2017 or 2018. Son Henry is a sophomore at Villanova, where he is studying economics and Spanish. Mark was also an economics major and then earned an M.B.A. in finance and accounting at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. Mark spent much of his investment banking career at Merrill Lynch but joined Cowen and Co. three years ago as a managing director and head of the transportation practice. Mark and his wife, Delia, live in New York City and Quogue, Long Island, New York. Outside of work Mark keeps busy with golf and stamp collecting. Earlier Delia worked in the fashion business at Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman, but she retired some years ago and has since been involved in a variety of activities, including serving as president of the parents association of the Loyola High School in New York and president of the Quogue Junior Theatre Troupe.

Be safe and send news.
