Greetings, fellow ’88s! Our class is continuing to make a big and positive impact on the world in so many different ways. Sue Rheingold recently received the Philadelphia 2019 Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Woman of the Year Award, a tremendous honor for this dedicated pediatric oncologist. Sue, who is the medical director of the oncology outpatient clinic at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, specializes in acute lymphocytic leukemia. Rachel Dratch is keeping us all laughing while we also reflect on our aging selves with the movie Wine Country, featuring such other hilarious actors as Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph. It is a fun story, and I loved it. Charlie Wheelan published his first novel, titled The Rationing, which is a political satire and is on my reading list. I perused the online comments to see how others are liking the book, and they are extremely positive, with praise that ranges from “a mind game of a novel” to “unusual and fascinating.” Those two words also describe a great idea that Bev Hagerdon shared with me: Specifically, she tells me she recently married Robert Butler Hilton (congratulations, Bev!), who is a Michigan grad and who has a bottle opener that plays the Michigan fight song whenever it is used. How did no one think of that yet as a Dartmouth-themed product? Bev also reports that, while she and her new husband have been living in Sri Lanka, where they met, they will be moving to Washington, D.C., later this year, and she looks forward to attending Dartmouth 250th birthday celebration events there. Beth Burnside is working to make us all a bit healthier, in her roles as associate dean of the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health and deputy executive director of the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research. At the institute Beth, who is a radiologist, is helping to link research to practical improvements in human health, and she has been recognized as an outstanding mentor and trainer. Kristiann Heesch, who has a doctorate in public health and is on the faculty at Queensland University of Technology School of Public Health and Social Work, focuses her research on health promotion. In particular, she has been studying and publishing about the role of physical activity and health in the prevention of chronic conditions in adults. Speaking of which, I think I better finish this column and go take a long bike ride….But, seriously, it is pretty amazing to see what our classmates are doing—so please let me know about your latest hobby, project, job, or aspiration, or your other news to share with the class. And enjoy these last days of summer.
