“Last spring,” Patricia Doykos wrote, “I had the privilege of becoming the chair of the board of Dartmouth’s new center for health equity, which our own Dr. Ellen Stein agitated for and was instrumental in shaping and getting off the ground when she was a student at the Medical School just a few years back. Special thanks to ’86s Lanie McNulty, Allison Barlow and Jessica Healy for letting us tap their great minds and networks as we build community around and resources for the Center. It’s housed at Geisel, but engages all Dartmouth schools. Check it out: geiselmed.dartmouth.edu/globalhealth/center-for-health-equity.” Kirsten Calvert Brady said, “I work as a healthcare consultant, focused on patient access, health and wellness in the life sciences industry. In mid-November I attended the Women of Dartmouth: Charting Your 4Cs workshop in Hanover and visited with Jennifer Harris Brown and family. It was an incredible and unique event, bringing together more than 60 women from graduating classes in the 1970s through the 1990s. When not attending regattas, dance recitals or hockey games, I’m painting and doing vinyasa yoga. In our spare time my husband and I renovate historic homes and will soon be launching our latest project, an historic brewery.” Sally (Gorman) Fitzhugh from Oakland, California, is “looking forward to spending some time in Hanover for the 30th reunion. My husband, Mike, and I just celebrated our 20th-year wedding anniversary in June. Saw Karen Blodgett at Ellen Wilson’s (’87) 50th birthday bash at the Lake Chalet in September. Took our two teenage boys, Will (age 16) and Nick (age 15), on a trek to Machu Pichu, Peru, combined with eco lodge adventure upriver in the Amazon this summer. Playing tons of tennis, some ultimate Frisbee and hoping there might be enough snow this winter for skiing in the Sierras.” Now a word from our reunion chairs Sarah Page and Mike McTernan: June 16-19 in Hanover promises to be warm, welcoming, familiar and refreshing as we return to Dartmouth for our 30th reunion. Our reunion theme is ‘Green takes 30 years off you’ and includes a terrific slate of events. Prior to the weekend those who wish can head to Mount Moosilauke to hike and stay at the Ravine Lodge and cabins. The Ravine Lodge is scheduled for a major renovation, so here’s our last chance to return to the lodge the way it looked back when. On campus we’ll be treated to awesome dinners at the Bema and in Rockefeller Commons. We’ll feel the deep bonds that continue to connect us as we gather at the class memorial service to celebrate the lives of classmates who left us far too early. We’ll lean in to hear the provocative perspectives of classmates who’ll give TED-style talks on various paths they’ve pursued during the past 30 years. Golf, tennis and a run will fuel our inner athlete of 30 years past. Of course, we’ll dance, clink glasses and socialize long into the evening at our class tent, where we’ll have some surprises. Throughout the weekend we’ll be rekindling friendships, catching up with those we see every five years and maybe those we’ve not seen since graduation. Our virtual 30th reunion headquarters is facebook.com/dart86—head there right now to find links to registration; news and photos of classmates will bring out your inner Green. Our reunion schedule is posted on www.alumni.dartmouth.edu/reunions/Classof1986 and will be continuously updated.”

Correction to the last notes: Brad Holt mobilized to Combined Joint Task Force in the Horn of Africa, in Djibouti (not Mogadishu), as deputy director and interim director of operations. He said, “We did conventional staff work coordinating with African partner forces, diplomatic teams and inter-agency partners.”
