Class Note 1992
Issue
January-February 2022
The days are finally getting longer and we’re all looking forward to plenty of sunshine for our 30th reunion in Hanover June 16-19. The planning committee selected a theme of “My • Your • Our Dartmouth,” inspired by inclusivity. To plan a great party, we need to know who’s coming! RSVP by mailing back the card you received a few weeks ago or emailing 30threunion.dartmouth92@gmail.com. You can find more reunion details at 1992.dartmouth.org.
Speaking of festivities, let’s give a rouse for three weddings and a new job!
It was my absolute pleasure to celebrate the marriage of Jennifer Williams and Chris Ingersoll ’91 with almost 40 other Dartmouth alumni. Molly Phinney Baskette officiated the ceremony at the Buffalo (New York) History Museum, which beautifully incorporated Jen’s Seneca heritage and language. The post-wedding brunch was a Buffalo Bills home-opening tailgate, hosted at Jen and Chris’ RV, which they purchased at the beginning of the pandemic to visit friends and family all over the country. Thies Kolln and I also took a quick trip to Niagara Falls with Geoff and Tracy Tysenn MacDonald. It was amazing to finally be able to gather, safely hug, and dance with so many friends, including Tim Greenberg, Kirk Swann, Woody Richman, Cathleen Caron, Katherine Aires Byrnes, Valerie Worthington, Julia Hynes Shoff, Betsy Cowles Gavron, Tricia Twomey Scott, and Linsley Craig, along with many ’91s and Chris’ dad, Hank Ingersoll ’67. Look for the group photo in an upcoming newsletter.
Jennifer Frederick Miller wrote: “Michael Miller and I got married September 11, 2021, in McHenry, Illinois. We were surrounded by family (seven kids between the two of us) and close friends. We are both still in the Army Reserves and had a moment of silence before we were joined on the dance floor by all past and present military and first responders to sing Lee Greenwood’s ‘God Bless the U.S.A.,’ which turned out to be about 25 percent of the guests. From there it turned into a true party, with my dad, Peter Frederick ’65, spending quite a bit of time on the dance floor surrounded by the ladies. After 30 years of service for both Mike and me, we are retiring from the Army Reserves in June and are having fun daydreaming about all the adventures we can have once we get our weekends back.”
The October wedding of Brian Ellner and Jarrett Olivo was featured in the “Mini-Vows” section of The New York Times. The couple had postponed their original June wedding date and celebrated with a ceremony at a Gramercy Park townhouse, followed by a rooftop party in SoHo. “Aisha Tyler was in attendance,” Brian told me, “and roasted me brilliantly at the rehearsal dinner.” He said in The Times that as the former lead strategist for the Human Rights Campaign’s effort to win marriage equality in New York, “he had always been passionate about equal rights, but not passionate about marriage for himself”—until he met Jarrett in 2018. Brian is executive vice president for growth and marketing at the global communications agency BCW and an adviser to its parent company, WPP, on public affairs.
Josh Marks has joined the Atlanta office of Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein. Josh has nearly three decades of experience with environmental policy and law. He advises clients on their environmental compliance, conservation, sustainability, real estate, land use, and corporate legal needs. He joined Parker Poe from GreenMark Consulting, which he founded.
