Hello, classmates! Sarah (Hood) Fraser wrote in from Cheshire, Connecticut, where she resides with her husband, Drew, and their sons, ages 11 and 13. She wrote that her head hockey coach at Dartmouth, George Crowe, recently passed away. Sarah shared that George and his assistant coaches, Judy Parish Oberting ’91 and Patti Crowe, showed Sarah how rewarding a career in college athletics could be. Accordingly, she works as deputy athletic director at Quinnipiac University. Sarah also coaches her sons in hockey and is active on the board of directors for USA Hockey as chair of the women’s national team advisory committee. Also working in college athletics is Michelyne Pinard, who just completed her 17th season as head women’s soccer coach at Williams College. Michelyne and her squad are on a tear: In December they won their second straight Division III title and third in the last four years. On the family front, Michelyne added a third child. Her family roster now features three girls, ages 2, 6, and 8. Sticking with sports, in January Matt Burke joined the National Football League’s Philadelphia Eagles as defensive special assistant.

Kenji Hosokawa emailed from Tokyo, where he lives with his wife, Lisa (O’Brien) Hosokawa ’97, and their daughters, ages 11 and 13. Kenji was about to head north to Niseko, Japan, for the fifth Niseko Green weekend. The gathering brings together Dartmouth alumni from across Asia to network and educate in Japan’s ski country. Back in Tokyo, Kenji and Lisa work with Third Space Tokyo, a startup that co-creates English content with Japanese clients. Kenji observed that the work has been a challenging but rewarding journey.

Allison Abrahms wrote that her three children recently reached a milestone: skiing together for an entire day, as the youngest, age 6, kept up with siblings, ages 9 and 12. Their Vermont ski trip was also an opportunity for Allison to bring her family to an old College haunt, the Skunk Hollow Tavern in Hartland, Vermont. She reported that the Skunk remains the same as when she visited 20-plus years ago.

Former class secretary Jeffrey Beyer wrote in that he was happy to bump into Jessie Gabriel in Washington, D.C., back in November 2018, when both of them were sworn in—along with a handful of other Dartmouth graduates—as members of the U.S. Supreme Court Bar. Jeffrey and Jessie enjoyed the experience, which was made possible through the Dartmouth Lawyers Association. Their admission to the Supreme Court Bar was sponsored by Greg Garre ’87, former U.S. solicitor general. After the admission ceremony, Jeffrey, Jessie, and the other newly admitted attorneys stayed to observe oral arguments before the justices. Jeffrey lives in Morristown, New Jersey, with his wife and three kids, and is a partner with the firm of Riker Danzig Scherer Hyland & Perretti. Jessie leads the investment funds team at BakerHostetler. She and her husband live in N.Y.C.

A quick update from newsletter editor Kate Gold. Kate recently attended a Vermont Statehouse Lobby Day to advocate for public higher education funding. There she sat in on the Working Vermont Caucus meeting, which was co-chaired by none other than State Rep. Brian Cina. Kate also arranged a reception with two representatives from her corner of Vermont, the Northeast Kingdom. Kate’s newfound political involvement is belied by a self-professed aversion to crowds and conversing with strangers.

Well, if Kate can overcome her fear, surely you can drop me a quick update! I am amazed by what our class is up to, and I love hearing from you.
