Class Note 1995

Issue

May - June 2010



A glance at your calendar has likely alerted you, possibly somewhat jarringly, to the fact that our 15-year reunion is coming up in June. We’ll be gathering again with the classes of 1994 and 1996, so surely there’s someone you want to see out of all of those people? Information and an intentions list (non-binding preliminary RSVP) can be found on the class Web site, accessible through alum.dartmouth.org. You can also get a preliminary reunion schedule on our class’ Facebook page, “Dartmouth Class of 1995.”


And now the news! Kim Schmitt and Jon Belk got married last year and are expecting their first child this spring. There was a large Dartmouth contingent at the wedding—Pamela (Brockmeier) Armstrong, Marie (Weisse) Berg and Chris Berg ’96, Susan Boyd, Alison (Burrell) Cherpitel, Jason Duty, Judi Flynn-Echeverria and Frederick Echeverria T04, John Jones, Rachel Jordan, Sarah Kim, Kristi Kimball, Marianne (Ruhl) Nikas ’93 and Alex Nikas, Vil Ramos, Rory (Goode) Robinson, Moriah Shilton, Dan Stern, Kim (Barry) Taylor, Julie (Kanarowski) Turner, Jill Wesley, Anne Quinn Young and Brandon Young and yours truly. It was a great wedding!


Brian Radics wrote to say that he and his girlfriend from senior year, Natasha Kindergan, “finally got hitched” in Panama in October 2009. Their wedding was a long time coming for the couple, having dated in college, lived across the street from each other in Boston right after Dartmouth, broken up, reunited in London for two years in 1999, broken up and reunited in spring 2008. They went to the Beijing Olympic games in summer 2008 and re-lit the relationship spark. Brian gives a special shout-out to the couple’s tight group of Dartmouth friends for getting them to the same weddings over the years and ensuring they would stay in touch. The wedding was in the Gamboa Rainforest of Panama and a number of ’95s and ’94s were in attendance. (“Too many to mention, but needless to say it was a blast.”)


Brian and Natasha now live in Manhattan. Natasha works for the United Nations and Brian “markets booze for Diageo,” an arrangement he terms “a good balance.” The couple has their first baby on the way this spring. Brian concludes by saying: “Quite the change from falling for each other in Hanover 15 years ago—it’s been a fun ride.”


Sean McSweeney also e-mailed an update. After leaving Toshiba Medical, where he managed the U.S. CAT scanner business, Sean co-founded Cobalt Health, a healthcare revenue cycle management company. The company does the back-office coding and medical billing for physicians, hospitals, laboratories and imaging centers and now has offices in two states and clients in eight states. On the personal front Sean has a fantastic daughter who is almost 2 years old. If anyone lives in the L.A. area or is visiting, drop him a line at smcsween@yahoo.com. 


I hope you’re having a wonderful spring!
