Class Note 1995
Issue
May - June 2016
Happy April! As you know, April holds a most important day for our class, the 95th day of the year. Let’s be thankful for very generous classmates who made mini-reunions in Austin, Boston, D.C., Los Angeles, N.Y.C., San Francisco and Shanghai possible: Tara Gulla, Patrick Boyd, Kaja Fickes, Judi Flynn, Shara Frase, Peter Jolicoeur, Blaine LeGere, Sandy Paul and Steve Tseng. Additional thanks to all who attended.
In addition to joining the ranks of class leadership in the role of co-secretary, I have also begun a new venture professionally as vice president for enrollment management at Cottey College and am happy to report that I have been a presenter at the National Association for College Admission Counseling annual Guiding the Way to Inclusion conference as part of a session I proposed: using minority recruitment as leverage to a senior leadership role. The conference will take place immediately after a very small mini-reunion happening in Martha’s Vineyard for Evelyn (Waters) Brady, Candace Howell and myself. If you will be on the vineyard July 16-23 let me know so I can schedule a Dartmouth photo-op. In more Brady news, I witnessed Evelyn’s daughter, Ashleigh, finish her volleyball tournament 6-2 in Las Vegas. You know you’re old when the most exciting thing about Vegas is 200 girls’ volleyball teams: so much fun.
In entertainment news, Brian White, an actor seen most recently on Shonda Rimes ’91 Scandal, played “George” in an episode of the new USA Network series, Colony. In social butterfly news, Baryona Billington spent Valentine’s Day with comedian Mike Epps as an audience member in his Don’t Take It Personal tour, tapped into her inner artist at Mimosa and a Masterpiece and continued her mission to live in Indianapolis, Indiana, and reside everywhere else with a jaunt to Puerto Rico.
Finally, we’d like your help building up the community already begun on the Dartmouth College Class of 1995 Facebook page. Right now we are at 458 members, and I would like to encourage us all who are members to reach out to classmates who have not yet joined the group.
