Class Note 1998
Issue
May - Jun 2018
Hey, ’98s!
I can’t believe I’m even writing these words, but this is the last 1998 Class Notes column you’ll see in the alumni magazine before we’re all together in Hanover for our 20th reunion from June 15 to 17! But before we see each other in person, a little classmate news.
I saw a news item back in January that Dominic Lanza has been nominated by the president of the United States for a federal judgeship with the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. Dominic has worked as a federal prosecutor for the past nine years, and worked for a private law firm prior to entering government service. As of this writing, Dominic was still awaiting Senate confirmation. Congratulations, Dominic, and best of luck!
Also making the news recently is Phoebe Suina, who was featured in an article in the Albuquerque Journal in February. The article discussed Phoebe’s return to New Mexico back in 2001, and her work at the environmental consulting company High Water Mark, which she founded. High Water Mark works with pueblos and local governments on floodplain, storm water and watershed management. And, as the article noted, Phoebe has generously donated nearly 3,000 hours of professional services to the Cochiti, Santo Domingo and San Felipe pueblos in New Mexico. Awesome job, Phoebe!
My good friend Simone Swink also checked in recently. Simone, who still lives in New York City, reports that she still regularly sees her College roommates Kristin (Terry) Abati, Julie (Herron) Gendler and Karen Yen ’99—and that they are all planning to come to reunion together! On the work front, Simone has been at ABC’s Good Morning America for the last seven years and, at present, she is the executive broadcast producer of the 8-9 a.m. hour. As Simone proudly reports, last year GMA won a Daytime Emmy! Simone is also in regular contact with Jeff Giuffrida and his family, as well as Charles Davant and his family.
On a personal note, my family and I also recently had the pleasure of visiting with Ben Cooperberg and his family at Ben’s home outside of Philadelphia. The aforementioned Charles Davant and his family were also on hand for a wonderful weekend.
Finally, I will end with some words about reunion. If you are reading this column and this is the first time you are thinking about or hearing about our 20-year reunion—which is a few weeks from now—the bad news is that you missed out on the early-bird rate. But the good news is that you still have until June 1 to register! Please visit the reunion webpage at www.alumni.dartmouth.edu/reunions/1998 for additional information. For those of you who I haven’t been in touch with in recent years, I sincerely hope to see you in Hanover in June. It is surely going to be a blast! See you in June!
