I hope this winter issue finds you safe, healthy and warm. Here’s the latest class of 1991 news!

Deb Van Winkle Dulsky and husband Mark “are enjoying life as empty-nesters. But we are spending many fall weekends in Boston, cheering on football at MIT, where our son, Jack, is a sophomore. Our older son, Adam, is a junior at Williams and is working hard to secure an internship for the summer. The years are flying by.”

Jeff “Sol” Solomon has teamed up with Michael Siberling ’88 to helm Affinity Gaming. Sol is serving as COO and Michael is CEO. The Dartmouth alums have turned around a business that struggled during the recession and are giving back to the community through various charities, including the Alzheimer’s Foundation.

In August Tricia Paik was named the next Florence Finch Abbott Director of the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum. Tricia was previously the curator of contemporary art at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Congrats!

On October 8 classmates gathered in the Bay Area to support the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation and Jeremy and Erica Hollern Kelly’s family and incredible efforts. The ’91s in attendance for this joyful and meaningful evening included Shannon Crockett Kates, Karen White Horn, Jeff Cole, Yaz Krehbiel, Todd Young, Whitney Gates, Sophie Griswold, Anouk Patty, Lisa Bosler, Pete Lardner and Pete Wheelan.

I bumped into Jordan “Jordy” Green at the White River Junction, Vermont, train station in October! He says, “I’m commuting between New Hampshire and N.Y.C., where I run the New York office of an Australian hedge fund. Was a big summer for our family, as my wife, Samantha Davidson Green, shot her first feature film while I worked from home to care for Duncan (11), Reeve (9) and Tucker (6).” Check out Samantha’s film’s Facebook page at facebook.com/thrasherroad.

Finally, I have to share part of a story sent in by Heidi Dollenberg Williams.She was bound and determined to get to our 25th reunion in June but hit a few roadblocks along the way. The “trouble” started when her daughter continued to beat opponents in a tennis tournament, keeping Heidi in the south until Friday. She found an open seat on a plane for Friday night, but thunderstorms and tornadoes closed a section of the highway. She eventually got on a flight and arrived at Logan. She rented a car (about the size of a golf cart) and was informed that there were no more EZ passes. Heidi had only a few large bills for tolls, so she found an “antiquated” ATM. “When I put my card in the screen went blank, with only that unending circle going round and round. Thankfully, I thought to unplug the machine, which spit out my card.” She drove from Logan to Hanover in a horrendous storm, listening to 1980s music, with “windshield wipers that could not keep up with the rain. Then, I kid you not, after everything else, I ran over a skunk! The only saving grace was that the horrific odor helped keep me awake! I arrived just after 1 a.m., and despite the harrowing ordeal, I knew that it was all worth it when I was greeted by my friends.” Now that’s some serious Dartmouth devotion!

I’ll close with this request: In just a few months, on April 1, it will be the 91st day of the year. Mark your calendars for “91 Day” and send us a quick update via Facebook or at the email below letting us know what you’re up to! We’d love a glimpse into your everyday lives!
