Get out your calendars. Only 18 months to go until our 25th reunion! Thursday to Sunday, June 12-15, 2014, are the dates. More to come, but feel free to e-mail me if you want to be involved in the planning.


The Chicago Daily Law Bulletin featured our own Eric Berlin, a partner at Jones Day in Chicago, who recently ran his first marathon in five years, raising about $16,500 for the Gastro-Intestinal Research Foundation, where he serves on the board. Eric gave up running in 2007 because of a flare-up in his long-term battle with Crohn’s disease. But through trying new medications and therapies, he was able to come back to the sport he loves. Remarkably, Eric finished the marathon in three hours and three minutes. He told the Law Bulletin, “I really wanted to be out there and just be mindful of what I had overcome to get there and of all my friends’ kindness in contributing to my charity run.” Eric also hopes his efforts will help others with digestive diseases believe that they can get back their normal lives.


Congratulations to Connie Britton on her great new show Nashville, which airs Wednesday nights on ABC, and for her third Emmy nomination, this time for her work in American Horror Story.


David Irwin and his wife, Kim, recently passed the 10-year mark living in Elm Grove, Wisconsin, outside Milwaukee. Their children Henry and Lucy are 9 and 7. David works at Fiserv, a technology company focused on banking, payments and other financial applications, where he oversees the global service division. His business includes a large center in Costa Rica, where David and family spent a great six-week adventure last year. They also had the chance to visit Michael Hafner and his wife, Sam ’92, while they were in London last spring, and David reports that Michael ran him to exhaustion in his regular jog around St. John’s Wood. Michael works for Deutsche Bank as head of energy banking for Europe, the Middle East and Asia. He and Sam have three boys—Callum, Duncan and Allistair—and David reports that they haven’t adopted British accents yet!


Fred Miner writes from Phoenix, Arizona, where he practices labor and employment law at Littler Mendelson. He and his wife, Lilly, have twin 7-year-old daughters Devon and Reese.


Jeremy Rider visited Hanover during the summer for the first time in 20 years, taking along his sons Bo and Jessie. Jeremy and Bo, now a sixth grader, also recently completed a two-day Face of America charity bike ride from the monuments of Washington to the battlefields of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. They rode with a number of wounded warriors who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, many of them riding hand-cycles and recumbent bikes. The entire event raised more than $400,000 for charity.


Catherine Baggia Duwan reports that she had the pleasure of attending Jacqueline Allen’sJune wedding to James Tierney and that Jacqueline is retired from practicing law and living in Scottsdale, Arizona. 


Finally, we remember Randi Engle, who passed away October 26 after a two-year fight with pancreatic cancer. Her perseverance in fighting the disease was remarkable—both on a personal level and in the larger arena of raising money for research and the search for a cure. She leaves behind her husband, Tom Kuhn ’88, daughters Becca and Gwen and many colleagues and students at the University of California, Berkley, Graduate School of Education, which is now accepting donations for the Randi A. Engle Student Innovation Fund. A larger obituary will appear on the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine website.
