Jayne Daigle Jones writes, “2017 has been a year of celebration for us! Back in the spring we celebrated the graduations of our daughter, Meaghan, and our son, Brendan, from Rochester Institute of Technology and Wheaton, respectively, and daughter Renee’s high school graduation. In July Meaghan married her college friend, Stephen Johnson, here in New Hampshire; in August we dropped off Renee to UNH; and on October 21 our son, Drew ’12, married Susan Hakes ’12 in California—so we had a wonderful family vacation out in sunny, southern California! While our family life is always full, it’s not always so full of joyous celebrations and travel. While attending Brendan’s graduation in Illinois, we were fortunate enough to stay with Dick ‘Art’ Krissinger, which is always special. Now we are back home and enjoying the fact that we have two new family members—and that we have entered the season of life of being in-laws—yikes! I now have the potential of being the dreaded mother-in-law. (Praying I avoid that!)” I asked, and received replies: Bill Wright’s oldest son, Cameron ’21, is a frosh this year. “The whole family is very excited and gives us a great excuse to visit Hanover frequently. We will be there for Homecoming!” Phillip Marchal writes, “My wife and I did indeed drop off our daughter, Isabella, a few weeks ago. Bella ’18 was herself amazed that she is already a senior. She is an art history major who is also completing the premed requirements. I cannot believe that her four years is shooting by just as fast as mine did. And while I may not have the chance to visit her in Hanover after this year, I will at least have a buddy who will be as eager as me to visit!” Kevin and Laura Lindner Sankey also have a son, Nolan ’21, who is loving his first term in Hanover. “His favorite place to study is the second floor of Berry. He had a great time on first-year trips; it happened to be the same trip that John Marchiony and I led when we were trip leaders.” Greg Lesko dropped off Emma ’21. Bill Ruhl writes: “My wife, Kimberly Klimek Ruhl ’87, and I were back to the Hanover Plain with our son, Ryan. We had a great time seeing all the new buildings on campus, taking the tour and he, particularly, enjoyed seeing my picture in the Zeta Psi house composite photos!” More about Bill’s new adventure in the next issue of DAM. Amy McCormick has launched a YouTube channel called Financial Freedom for Real People. It gives basic, common sense financial advice and information, extreme frugality tips, couponing tutorials and information, and cheap recipes. She writes, “I would be very appreciative of any support from the Dartmouth community—please subscribe and give thumbs-ups and leave comments and pass the channel onto anyone you know who is interested in saving money and getting out of debt. Many thanks!” In beauty, it is finished.
