Jim Ouellette and Kelly (Aldrich) Ouellette have lived in Colchester, Connecticut, for 22 years, and will celebrate their 27th anniversary on June 16. They got married at Dartmouth, in Rollins Chapel, with classmates Bill Storo and Dianne (Menard) Young serving as best man and maid-of-honor, respectively. According to Jim: “Life is good! Kelly and I are just back from a great ski trip in Breckenridge, Colorado! We will head to Park City, Utah, in March with family.” Jim works as a family physician at Marlborough Family Practice, part of a large primary care group, ProHealth Physicians. Kelly works for Travelers Insurance as a senior project director, traveling regularly to India and the Philippines for business, and also teaches Jazzercise in her free time. Kelly and Jim have three kids: Kevin (a senior at Worcester Polytechnic Institute majoring in robotics engineering), Erik (a sophomore at Quinnipiac University majoring in math but considering switching to or adding a major in economics) and Nicole (a senior in high school who loves to read, travel, run and snowboard).

Don Raftery lives in Greenwich, Connecticut, with his wife, Heather, and three children: J.P. (21), Haley (19) and Caitlin (13). Don, who was on the hockey team at Dartmouth, continues to play and is the president of the Greenwich Skating Club, a private outdoor hockey and figure skating facility. “A recent highlight was being in Hanover right before Christmas for my daughter’s hockey tournament, staying at the Hanover Inn and having several inches of snow come down overnight—it really brings back the magic. To pay the bills I run the global banking practice at Greenwich Associates and still have fun doing so. Any ’88s coming through N.Y.C. or southern Connecticut, let me know; I would enjoy catching up for a drink.”

Lee Johnston lives in Denver, where he practices intellectual property law as a partner with Dorsey & Whitney. “Being a born-and-bred Texan, it’s crazy to think that I’ve been here most of my adult life, but I’ve never had a second thought about my move here from Dallas. I have two wonderful kids—Ben (high school senior) and Elyssa (high school freshman)—and a motley wolf pack made up of an Aussie (Deputy), Havanese (Gizmo) and Labradoodle (Bella). I’ve survived the college search and application process this past fall with Ben, who, like his dad, is an avid fly fisherman, hiker and skier, and on pretty much that basis alone has decided to head north to Montana State for college next fall. I expect that I’ll be making a few “parent” fishing trips up to Bozeman, Montana, next year. Elyssa is sad to see her brother go, but I think she’s got her eye on converting his room into her personal “study”-dance-hang-out room.” Lee celebrated his 50th camping in the mountains with both kids and all three dogs; apparently the dogs narrowly escaped banishment from the tent.

Lee saw Brad Winslow—a doctor in Denver—and other Alpha Chi’s (including Jimmy Roussel, Dave McConnell, Jay Hardy) visiting Denver for a joint 50th celebration. “It was great to catch up while watching the Cubs-Indians World Series games. As a result of re-connecting, Jimmy now owes me $20 from a foolish bet he made on the Broncos-Saints game. (I’ll let him try and earn it back next season.)” Lee sometimes sees Tom Bloomfield (an environmental lawyer in Boulder, Colorado) at local Dartmouth events, including, he hopes, on the slopes at the Dartmouth CarniVail event.

Thanks to Sonja Kuftinec for organizing our very successful second annual virtual Oscars Pool. And the winner is…Michael Acker.
