Class Note 1994

Issue

July-August 2024

Hi, ’94s! Many of you were just on campus for our 30th reunion, and I hope you had an unforgettable time with family and friends. Maybe you were reminded of the great memories you made on campus decades ago, the strength of the bond that our shared experiences created, or the role Dartmouth played in shaping the future you are now living. If you are feeling the warm fuzzies for Dartmouth, we invite you to consider volunteering with our class officers. We have a few new hand-raisers out there, and we wanted to invite all of you to consider volunteering your ideas, talents, and time, no matter how small or large that may be. Please reach out to our class president, Justin Sadrian, at justin.sadrian@warburgpincus.com if you are interested in learning more.

I heard from classmate Matt Price, who provides his first update in 30 years, showing us that it’s never too late to drop a note to friends and classmates. Matt shares, “After 15 years on the East Coast (four years in the Boston area and 11 years around New York City), I moved to my wife Lisa’s hometown of Traverse City, Michigan, in 2009. It’s a lovely place and, surprisingly enough, home to another ’94! I see Bryce Hundley, as well as his wife, Alicia Walker ’93, around town pretty regularly. Lisa and I have three boys—Jackson (17), Dashiell (13), and Xavier (10)—and we are thrilled that Jackson will be a member of the Dartmouth class of 2028! Honestly, it’s a bit surreal, but I’m definitely looking to spend more time in Hanover.”

In addition to Matt’s good news, I learned about author and classmate Andrew Smith’s newest book release, A Cloud of Unknowing (The Deserted Vineyard Book 2). Andrew shares, “A Cloud of Unknowing picks up shortly after the events of Our Lady of the Artilects. The characters, each dealing with the trauma of their experiences in different ways, are pulled back into the mystery of the strange energy flux known as the Lucifer particles. Against a backdrop of Vatican intrigue and geopolitical confusion, the Process conspiracy continues, threatening the foundations of both faith and science.” If you enjoy reading sci-fi or contemplating theories of consciousness, you should check out Andrew’s books, which he writes under the name Andrew Gillsmith.

Drop me an email if you have an update to share. Please consider sending your reunion stories as well; they will make for fun news for future columns.
