Minyoung Sohn emailed that in October he visited Gary Jan in Los Angeles. The two attended a concert by the bands New Order and Pet Shop Boys at the iconic Hollywood Bowl. The show was fitting: At Dartmouth Minyoung and Gary hosted the MSG Synth Pop Show on 1340 AM WDCR. This reminds me of disc jockeying at Dartmouth’s other radio station, 99.3 FM WFRD (99 Rock), which the College sold last year after owning for 45 years. Additionally, in September Minyoung presented at the Dartmouth Entrepreneurs Forum in San Francisco for the panel “My Entrepreneurial Journey.” He spoke about his impact finance company, Blue Room, and its audacious goal of solving the housing crisis by using prefabricated modular construction and leveraging a unique philanthropic capital structure.

Dan Mazzucco runs a startup medical device company and teaches at Rowan University in New Jersey. Recently Dan participated in a Zoom book club with Kevin Walsh and Joshua Papsdorf. Kevin is co-directing the “Project on Constitutional Originalism and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition” at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. Joshua is a professor of theology at Newman University in Kansas. Also Dan recently saw Dennis Bergeron and his family in central Pennsylvania. Dennis is a high school teacher and weight trainer. Dan himself is married with five kids. His oldest is at Grove City College in northwest Pennsylvania. Another son toured Dartmouth this past summer, and Dan and family were impressed by how welcoming the community was. Chris Wang’s daughter, Ashley, is attending Dartmouth as part of the class of 2025. Chris finds himself reading The Dartmouth online to see what Ashley might be up to.

Christine Alvarado stays in touch with a small group that includes Tracy (Tylee) Silberfein, Kathleen (Eibl) Steele, Katey (Ritrovato) Dadakis, Erica Brandling-Bennett, Candace (Cornell) Kristensson, and Bennett Arble ’99. The group is busy planning their nearly annual get-together, which will be held in January in central Oregon. The theme will be wine.

Finally, I was emailing with Rachel Federman, who wrote that for the next issue she will send updates about the amazing things her ’98 friends are doing. Rachel knows they are making advances in medicine and other fields but could not gather all the details in time for the deadline. Rachel is still in New York City, where she continues her work for nonprofit organizations and various book projects. Her ghostwritten book How Am I Doing? by Dr. Corey Yeager, life coach for the Detroit Pistons, was released by HarperCollins on October 18.

And there you have it: the latest from the class of 1998. Keep the updates coming. I love hearing from you.
