Class Note 1995
Issue
July-August 2022
After more than 20 years of teaching math in both Oakland and Berkeley, California, and some time overseeing instructional technology in the Berkeley Unified district office, Allison Krasnow became a vice principal in 2021 at Alameda High School, overseeing math, special education, and schoolwide technology. “In addition to the new job, I also began an Ed.D. program in educational leadership at UC Davis. I somehow find the time to get all of this work done from the back seat of my van, where I have created a tiny office to work in during my son’s water polo practices many nights a week.”
Ray Wadlow is pleased to report that his daughter, Emily, will matriculate with the Dartmouth class of 2026 this fall. Congratulations! And Brian Eyster recently began a new chapter in his career as a senior software engineer for EF Go Ahead Tours. “After 16 years with Planet Bluegrass the timing feels right for me to embark on a new career adventure. And I’m beyond excited for all the interesting new challenges and wonderful new friendships that lie ahead.”
Amy Dixson is on faculty at the UC Davis School of Medicine, where she is vice chair for clinical services. She also runs a state-funded project for firearm violence and suicide prevention through the California Center for Firearms Research at UC Davis. “My oldest daughter is a senior and will be heading to University of Oregon in the fall, and my other daughter is a junior. We continue to spend lots of time with friends from my days living in Yosemite and Dartmouth friends in the Tahoe region.”
Now for more sophomore summer memories to whet your appetite for our 25th(ish) reunion, coming up July 22-24. Pam Quinn remembers having a huge birthday party in her River apartment, “which was especially fun and special because as someone with a summer birthday I’d never gotten to celebrate while school was in session before that or ever since.”
Jane Anne (McCoy) Tucker started dating Louis Tucker during sophomore summer. “This September we will celebrate our 25th, so that’s definitely a top memory! I also took one of my favorite classes—Allen Koop’s class on 20th Century Europe—and, wow, it is as relevant as ever.”
Evelyn Brady has 1994 and 2019 Sophomore Summer memories: “I spent the ’96 Sophomore Summer living on campus, working at a local summer camp, and falling in love with my now husband, Drew Brady ’96. My next favorite Dartmouth summer experience was Parents Weekend during daughter Ashleigh’s Sophomore Summer. It was fun and we were happy to see that she was having her own Dartmouth experience that differed from ours. We attended her graduation in June 2021 on the football field (Covid protocol) just like our 1995 graduation (Clinton secret service protocol). The ’21s had much better weather!”
Evelyn is happy to report that Ashleigh is working on her art and will attend graduate school this fall in architecture. Drew is enjoying work and serving as VP of the class of 1996 executive committee. “We still have our teenage son at home who is enjoying his sophomore year and more importantly having his license to drive (with a parent riding shotgun until July) as he gears up for baseball and Camp Motorsports this summer. I am keeping busy being Dartmouth admissions district enrollment director for Delaware, serving on our class executive committee, and with my advocacy work on behalf of voting and reproductive rights and many other political and nonprofit activities. I look forward to seeing you all soon in July!”
Me too! Keep your news coming.
