Class Note 1992

Issue

Nov - Dec 2014

With the holidays approaching, we’re putting together a ’92 gift guide: a list of products and services produced by classmates. If you sell or process anything as a career, we want to buy your things that are sold or processed (with apologies to Lloyd Dobler in Say Anything). Email a note to news@dartmouth92.org explaining your gift-worthy item, along with a photo (as soon as your read this, please!), and we’ll include it in the next class newsletter.


As you read this I’m just days away from heading up to the Hanover Plain for Class Officers Weekend (COW). I missed it last year, so I’m looking forward to meeting up with my fellow class officers to reminisce and plan future events (like the big one that’s coming up in just a few years: our 25th reunion). Here are updates from our class of 1992 webmaster, mini-reunion co-chair and treasurer.


Tom Paganucci: “Around the turn of the century I checked back into the Hotel Hanover. I didn’t intend to stay long, but found work as an information technology consultant and often wonder if I’ll ever leave. Outside of work I do my best to enjoy the outdoor activities the region has to offer, including mountain biking and snowboarding in addition to the occasional half marathon. My hope is that this winter brings enough snow to keep local ski areas flush so few have to fly west for a proper fix. Apart from Homecoming and COW, I don’t see as many ’92s as I see folks from ’90, ’91, ’06 and ’10 (ran across one today in Pine Park).”


Kenta Takamori: “I moved to San Francisco from Tokyo at the end of 2011 with my wife and teenage daughter. I work in private client services at J.P. Morgan. Skiing continues to be my central life obsession outside of family and work. I recently signed on as class mini-reunion co-chair with Brant Rose. Any member of the class can take the initiative, grab several other ’92s and give a rouse. Email news@dartmouth92.org if you want to host a mini-reunion in your city—there are subsidies available for mini-reunions from the class budget. Stay tuned for details about a ’92 mini-reunion during Homecoming weekend this year!”


Kyle Huebner: “It’s been a while since I’ve written in, but then again a lot of the most important things in my life have not changed. I’m still married to my beautiful wife, Leanne (we celebrated our 15th anniversary this year), I still have three great kids (now ages 7, 9 and 12), we’re still living in Manhattan Beach, California (17 years in SoCal now), and I’m still working at Stamps.com as co-president and CFO (celebrated my 15th anniversary this year). I’m keeping busy with all the kids’ activities (sports, coaching, scouts, etc.), traveling (France, Hawaii, Yosemite and Cabo) and ran a half marathon this past spring. Oh yeah, and doing alumni interviewing for Dartmouth and being class treasurer (if you’re class of ’92 and reading this, please pay your dues). One of the more exciting things that happened to me this summer is that I swam a 2-mile open water ocean race in which there was the threat of lightning and 6- to 8-foot baby great white sharks (yes, I did see one during the race), both of which led to my best finish ever in the race. Hope everyone is well and look me up if you’re passing through Los Angeles.”
