Since we are now less than a year away, it is time to mark your calendars and start making those travel plans for our 20th reunion—yup, we have reached our 20th (gulp)! Our reunion will take place June 15-17, 2012. Check us out on Facebook for ongoing updates and make sure we have your current contact information. Plans are already under way to make this reunion fantastic! Our goal is to get at least 300 of our classmates together for fun, reconnecting with old friends, and making new ones.


And speaking of Facebook, I would remiss if I didn’t mention that we have a private group that we would love to have you join, if you haven’t already. Go to “Dartmouth College Class of ’92” and ask to join the group with the Baker Tower logo. On that page, postings can only be seen by other members of the group. We are more than 300 strong on that page, but hoping to grow!


The only personal news for this issue came from our Olympians, Cammy Myler and Nina Kemppel. We’ll start with Cameron.


“Well, after 10 years of practicing law in New York, I’ve left my firm to focus on the things in life I am truly passionate about: sport and art and creating positive change in the world. I’m pursuing my photography business (www.cameronmyler.com), consulting with various sports organizations and have just become an athlete ambassador for Kids Play International (KPI), a nonprofit founded by fellow Olympian Tracy Evans (aerials in ’94, ’98 and ’02). KPI uses sport as a means to educate and empower youth in Africa and is setting up its first after-school program in Rwanda this year.


“I joined Tracy and KPI on a volunteer trip to Rwanda from June 6 to 18, when I worked with the KPI team to teach kids about sportsmanship, fair play, respect between genders, health, nutrition and other skills that will benefit them for life. We also introduced the kids to new sports. (A little too warm for luge, so unfortunately that was not on the list.) As someone who has experienced the many benefits of sport firsthand, I am thrilled to be involved with an organization that uses sport as a means to make a difference in the lives of kids who really need a chance.


“I have been busy with my photography this year as well. I had a solo exhibit this spring at the Art of the Olympians Museum in Fort Myers, Florida. In March a dance company based in Gainesville, Florida, called Dance Alive National Ballet, premiered a new work that was inspired by and featured my photos.”


As for Nina, she is one of the five new members of the expanded U.S. Olympic Committee board of directors. She is joined by USA Hockey executive director Dave Ogrean, former John Hancock CEO James Benson, former Visa executive Susanne Lyons and former Microsoft executive Robbie Bach.


Two down, everyone else in the class to go! I would urge you to send an update…it can be boring and I’ll make it sing and make you sound super cool. If nothing else, it’ll get your name in the magazine and your kids will be (slightly) impressed. It’s true. Going forward, feel free to send your updates to either my personal e-mail address (mahoneyw@upenn.edu) or our new classwide Gmail account (dartmouth92news@gmail.com). Or both. Thanks!
