Happy New Year, ’99s!


The year 2012 has been packed with events such as the Summer Olympics in London and the U.S. presidential election season. Our own Dartmouth family also had a full year, with several classmates marrying and welcoming little ones into their families—and ours. The year 2013 promises to be an exciting year for us as well, particularly when we join the ’97s and ’98s for our 15th reunion celebration on June 14-16. Keep an eye out for further news, including mini-reunions that will be held across the country. You can keep up with developments on the class of 1999 Facebook page as well as on Twitter (@Dartmouth99).


In the meantime, we have lots of news to share!


Adrienne Wagner writes that she and husband Dave welcomed their third child, Wilson Roberts Wagner, on September 13, 2012. Little Wilson weighed in at 7 pounds, 11 ounces, and measured 19.25 inches. Adrienne writes that, “He is perfect and is already adding to the joyful commotion previously provided courtesy of his big brother Austin (2.5 years) and big sister Allison (5 years). We’re a happy quintet and we can’t wait to get this little guy up to Hanover (at reunion!) to induct him into the Dartmouth family!” 


Meg and David Lysy also had great news to share after welcoming twins Hunter Paul and Mairaed Rose into the world on January 18, 2012. Brother and sister were born healthy and happy with a bond that was evident when they held hands just minutes after their birth, and they’ve loved being near each other ever since. Big “brother” Moose, a Newfoundland, has pitched in when he could, helping the little ones learn to stand up. The twins have also started to get to know Dartmouth too; they’ve already been up to campus and stayed at Moosilauke in preparation for their entrance into the class of 2030. Do let the Lysy clan know if you’re ever in D.C., as they’d love to see you.


Congratulations, Adrienne and Dave, Meg and David!!


Catherine Hutasuhut also wrote in with a great update. She and husband Muhammad live in North Carolina, but still manage to get up to N.Y.C. and D.C. whenever they can. In a recent trip to New York Catherine met up with Kevin Findlan, who is working at Columbia, and had a toddler playdate with Liz and Bret Kieffer. While visiting in D.C. she met up with Jen Anderson as well as Anna Tsouhlarakis, her husband, Darron Carrerio ’01, and their daughter Mahate. Catherine also saw Genevieve Simmermeyer ’98 and husband Sequoyah ’97, as well as their daughter Adelaide. Catherine also made it out to Xiaojing Wang’s wedding in California in July. Xiaojing had a beautiful wedding with a Lion Dance, perfect weather and amazing food cooked by the groom’s father. Lots of Dartmouth alums joined the celebration, including Aiyana Thompson, Willy Wong, Liz Kieffer, Melissa Kho and Grace Eboigbe. While in California Catherine also ran into Justin Evans and his wife and daughters in San Francisco.


That’s all the news for now. Have a great 2013 and keep an eye out for further reunion news!
