Greeting, ’91s!

I am writing this column just a couple of weeks after a spectacular Homecoming Weekend in Hanover! Due to strict on-campus Covid mask and vaccine restrictions, pretty much all activities were held outside, but luckily the weather cooperated. The weekend featured lots of alumni tent gatherings (with swag for reunion classes), the Friday night parade and bonfire, and the football matchup against Yale, which Dartmouth won in overtime.

After last year’s Homecoming was canceled, it was great to be back on campus and to see so many fellow ’91s. I found Megan (Brimijoin) Vaules and Brook Seeley at the Friday night alumni tent, then marched with Nuria Gine-Nokes, Kimberly DeVore Eades, and Rosy Hong in the parade, taking turns carrying the 1991 banner. Along the way we pulled in Charles Tang and on the Green we found Steve Fried.You can check out some of the pictures on our class Facebook page.

After the lighting of the (much smaller and less toxic than ours) bonfire, I found West Lebanon, New Hampshire, residents Geoff and Kristy (Patterson) Bronner and we waited for the bonfire to collapse. After the nail-biting overtime football victory on Saturday, I bumped into George Dunston and T.C. Badalato on the way to the post-game alumni tent. At the tent we had a mini-reunion with me, Kimberly, Geoff, George, T.C., and Hanover resident Tracy (Kavanaugh) Walsh. I’m sure there were other classmates on campus at different points during the weekend who I didn’t see. Apologies if I missed anyone!

Thanks to all who have added their profile to our virtual reunion page. I really enjoy seeing what people are up to these days and the old and new photos they have posted. If you haven’t added your page yet, please do!

Wishing everyone a safe and healthy holiday season. Send me your updates!
