Class Note 1988

May-June 2024

Hope this news will help get you excited for our reunion!

Cynthia Marshall “remains boringly in love” with her job as an Army judge advocate general and will return to Korea after the reunion. She warns that “anyone who does not show up for the reunion better have an exceptionally good excuse. None of us know which reunion will be our last or who might not make it to the next. So carpe the reunion!”

Jane Lonnquist pivoted in 2019 to working as an early childhood substitute teacher and hopes her experience will be a public service announcement for pursuing flexible, joyful, and urgently needed work. She spent a month in Park City, Utah, with her husband, John ’86, as well as Tricia Grant and Dudley King and saw Pam Codispoti, Jonathan Risch, and Paul Steinwald. Jane closed her note to me by asking, “How lucky we are to share outdoor endeavors with good friends?”

No doubt agreeing with Jane’s sentiment are Jeff Albright, Mark Brooks, Alec Frisch, Victor Limongelli, John Replogle, Colin Stewart, Stephen Turner, and Bob Yee, who gather annually at Lake Tahoe to ski, hosted by Colin. John tells me they all committed this year to attending the reunion. Also, Alec reports he started as chief commercial officer for Nice-Pak in White Plains, New York, last year after more than 13 years at Georgia-Pacific in Atlanta, where he remains based with his family.

In New York City Matthew Lansburgh continues to write fiction while serving since 2022 as general counsel of Friends of the High Line, which runs all aspects of the High Line park. He encourages all to visit the park to see the amazing gardens, programs, and world-class artwork.

Steve Kubiatowski moved in 2016 from Washington, D.C., to Louisville, Kentucky. He is general counsel for CareATC, which provides primary care through clinics at employer sites. Steve keeps in touch with Alex Azar, Jerry Hughes, Werner Meyer, and Julie (Griffith) Meadows and would love to see any ’88s visiting Louisville.

Anne Kushwaha lives on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, where she works part time reading screening mammograms and seeing local patients. She retired from MD Anderson in Houston during the pandemic and loved her two years of retirement but now enjoys being a “small town doctor.”

On Martha’s Vineyard and on her travels Anne has seen Cherise Bransfield, Catherine Briggs, Holly Cox, Becky Dudley, Kirsten Gillibrand, Julie Glusker, Dani Green, Sheldon Kendall, Deb Ludtke, Barb Marr, Gregg Nourjian, Susan Rheingold, Luzi Robinson, Tracey Tiedman, Taylor Thomas, Laura Turner, and Leah Wheelan.

Rachel Dratch has a new podcast, Woo Woo with Rachel Dratch. She is “not completely woo woo” but slightly skeptical, leading to fun stories with incredible guests. Responding to my question about what she loves about Dartmouth, Rachel cited both her circle of Dartmouth friends who support each other in good times and sad times and classmates such as Jani Rauch and Kendra Morganstern, whom she did not know well during college but who helped her out recently.

See you all in June in Hanover!
