Class Note 1998
Happy summer, ’98s. As you probably know by now on April 18 several “98th day” ’98 mini-reunions took place around the country. Stay tuned for news and reports from each of those shindings!
I recently heard from Shephathia (Gordon) Townsend, who wrote in with the following report: “In June of 2009 I graduated from Brooklyn College with a master’s in art history. But more exciting than that on November 22 my husband and I welcomed our first beautiful child into the world—our daughter Jordan Rose Townsend. Our plan is for her to marry Sylvie Hogg Murphy’s son Quint Alec Murphy and make a second-generation Dartmouth wedding!” Congratulations, Townsend family! I like the plan!
Shephathia also reported that she just did her first alumni interviews for the College. Her take: “It was really fun and an easy way to stay connected to the college I love. I recommend it for any and all alums who enjoy talking about Dartmouth.”
In other news Abbey Doolittle, her husband, Joe Scalise, and son Henry (2) just welcomed new addition Thomas Scalise, to the world. Thomas was born February 16 and was 8 pounds, 2 ounces. Abbey and her family live in San Francisco. Congratulations, you guys!
Ben Cooperberg also wrote in to say that he and his wife, Jordana, will be moving from St. Louis to Philadelphia this summer. Ben and Jordana have two children: Ayelet (4) and Elan (1). Ben will be starting a new job as a clinical endocrinologist on staff at Pennsylvania Hospital in Center City. Anyone in the Philadelphia area should get in touch with them. Congrats on the new job and the move, Ben!
Everyone have a great summer and write in with all your great news!
