Class Note 1998

Remember sophomore summer, friends? Just writing this column up and thinking about when it will be published—deep in the heart of summer—makes me think back to what a great time that was. If only things were so easy now, right?


Well, at least I can say that it seems like the class is doing just fine! You guys have been pretty quiet recently, so I don’t have a lot of news, but I think that just means everyone is happily busy!


For this issue the spotlight is all on Mr. Adrian Durbin and his new bride! I’ll let him say it in his own words: “On January 15 I was lucky enough to marry Claudia Launer-Campos, a Harvard ’98 whom I met at the beginning of 2009. The wedding took place along the San Francisco Embarcadero and was attended by several Dartmouth alums, including ’98s John Ladson, Ryan Gilfoil, Dan O’Neill and Alex Katz as well as my dad, Jerry Durbin ’68, and uncle Tack Burbank ’70. Claudia and I live in San Francisco, where she works as in-house counsel for Macy’s and I am a director of corporate public affairs for McKesson, a large health services company. We recently got the fantastic news that we are expecting a child in early December, so, first things first, I’m planning to play as much golf as possible before then.” Congratulations on all this fantastic news, Adrian!


As for the rest of you, enjoy your summer and let me know about how things are going!
