Class Note 1991
Issue
Sept - Oct 2015
Robin Reynolds wrote in with an update on some of the classmates with whom she keeps in touch: “Andrea Reisman Johnson and I are in a book club together (with a 15-year history!) along with Anouk Patty and Jon Callaghan’s wife, Christie.” Robin was especially excited to provide a report after attending the 1990’s 25th reunion this June with her husband and kids: “I just spent the weekend in Hanover attending my husband’s 1990 reunion with our children, Sophie (13), Annie (11) and Zach (7). It was great to be back on campus and our kids loved exploring Dartmouth and Hanover, including a visit to the Co-op to get everyone outfitted in some Dartmouth swag and several trips to EBAs! It was also fun to catch up with P.H. Mullen and Nell Reynolds, who were among the other 1991s in attendance. For our family one of the highlights was the Saturday night event on the Green with music and fireworks. I can’t wait for our 1991 reunion next year!”
Christian Kull wrote in with an update on big changes in his life: “After a dozen years in the Antipodes my family and I have moved to Switzerland. I have a new job at the University of Lausanne as a professor in the institute of geography and sustainability. One bonus is that old friend Jed Kaplan ’94 happens to work just upstairs from me. Other bonuses are being among the vineyards of Lake Geneva, looking across at the Alps and being closer to family. I do, however, miss Melbourne, Australia (where I worked from 2003), especially the coffee, and our two boys, ages 7 and 11, miss the lifestyle of Fiji and New Caledonia, where we spent much of the last four years.”
The Alumni Council gathered in Hanover in May, and for me it was the end of my three-year term on the council. I had the opportunity to catch up with fellow councilors Jeff Solomon, Steve Hafner and David Hillman, who all remain on the council. Once again I bumped into Keith Dunleavy in Hanover, as well as Julie Kalish, who teaches writing and rhetoric at the College.
Keep those updates coming! Watch for reunion details leading up to our big 25th next June!
