Class Note 1987
Issue
September-October 2022
Hello, fellow ’87s! Ross Koller shared news of the wedding of his daughter, Scarlett, in Los Angeles this past May. Scarlett, who is an aerospace engineer, and her husband and fellow rocket scientist Joe Griffin held their wedding reception at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, under the space shuttle Endeavour. Many Dartmouth alums were in attendance, including Scarlett’s sister Caroline Koller ’18, as well as Scarlett’s godfather, Greg Zittel, and classmates Colleen (Mason) Zittel and Andy Horne.
Ophthalmologist and eye surgeon Emil Chynn recently purchased and personally delivered to Ukraine 5,000 units of BleedStop, a blood coagulant used in treating wounds caused by shrapnel and other types of trauma. This required Emil and another volunteer to fly into Warsaw, Poland, and then undertake a combination of driving and hitchhiking for the five-hour trip to Lutsk (including a 12-hour border crossing).
Sadly, I also report the passing of Elliot Harvey on June 7. While at Dartmouth Elliot studied economics and Russian and was a member of the ski team. I became friends with Elliot freshman year and was very grateful for his help in passing “Math 3.” After graduating from Dartmouth Elliot became a teacher and taught for 30 years at the Winchendon (Massachusetts) School. A beautiful remembrance is posted on the school’s website. Elliot also maintained an active Facebook page, where he candidly described his battle with cancer and shared his love of his family, photography, hiking, and birding. Elliot leaves behind wife Chris and daughters Adrienne, Anna, and Allegra, as well as brother Ian ’90.
I am very excited to be attending our in-person “Off the Green” class reunion, which will take place in Chicago on September 15-18. I hope to see many of you there!
Send me your news—it doesn’t have to be big; we love the “small” news too.
