Class Note 1998
Issue
January-February 2022
Marene Jennings and her boyfriend are moving to south Florida. After nearly two decades living in her hometown of New York City, Marene is relocating to help open a new and expanded West Palm Beach office for Goldman Sachs. Marene has been there for more than 17 years and is a managing director in the asset management division. Marene wrote, “I’m excited for this new adventure and looking forward to seeing many ’98s when folks are fully traveling again and in south Florida for work or fun.” Marene also returned to Dartmouth in October, allowing her to witness those incredible fall leaves. In other work news, for Glen Patashnick, this fall marks his 10th year teaching actuarial science at Boston University.
Finally, Nathan Cook wrote from Lexington, Kentucky, where he has lived for more than 20 years. He and his wife will soon celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary. Their stepdaughters are about to turn 16, making them eligible for learner’s permits. Nathan anticipates more time in the passenger seat and a potentially elevated blood pressure. Good luck, Nathan! For work, Nathan is a software engineer at Oracle in its cloud division. Also keeping Nathan busy is his home, a 1920s bungalow that requires perpetual home improvement work. His latest effort has been tearing down the garage and replacing it with an outbuilding to serve as a living space either for in-laws or for an old friend with a debilitating degenerative disease. Nathan keeps in touch with a few ’98s, notably Allison (Ahart) Geving in California.
I was actually in Lexington in August to attend the Railbird Festival, two days of rock music and bourbon. One of the headliners was the Dave Matthews Band, which brought my mind back to college. For me, no other music conjures up mid-1990s Dartmouth like Dave Matthews. On that note, please keep the updates coming, as I love hearing from you.
