Class Note 1999
Hello, ’99s!
The summer heat is in full swing for most of us and I hope you’re enjoying the warm weather! We have lots of news to share.
First, I’m pleased to write that Kristen Chartier and husband Steve Jasikoff welcomed son Charles Thomas to the world on April 9. Charlie was born 150 years to the day that the American Civil War ended, which is very fitting for the child of two history teachers! Charlie weighed in at 8 pounds. 12 ounces and was 21 inches long. Kristen writes: “He’s been an excellent baby so far and has been very patient with two bumbling parents huddled over him at all times. Charlie is an absolute doll, and I say that even though he has so far proved to be nocturnal!” Congratulations, Kristen and Steve!
In other news Aaron Pelletier is enjoying life in Lake Forest, Illinois, where he is a plastic surgeon for Cancer Treatment Centers of America and serves as the medical director of reconstructive microsurgery at the Midwestern Regional Medical Center. Aaron and his wife, Amanda, also a doctor, are making the most of the area by hiking, bike riding and camping with daughters Josephine (4) and Genevieve (2) as well as their beloved golden retriever Axl.
Finally, Marc Sikkes Lowe writes that he and Helen Lowe were married in August 2013 in London. They had a beautiful ceremony at the Farm Street Church in Mayfair, followed by a cruise down the Thames to Greenwich, where they had their reception in a historic riverside pub. They have both taken the surname Sikkes Lowe. Marc is working as a lawyer for the British government and loves his job. He is currently posted in the security, international and organized crime team at the Home Office, where he leads on asset seizures and money laundering. Helen works for Hansard in the Houses of Parliament, which is just around the corner from his office. He adds: “I love catching up with old Dartmouth friends who find themselves in London. Recent visitors include Alex Checka ’01, Allison Aab ’00 and Ram Akilesh ’00 and his wife, Holly. So if anyone’s in town and fancies a pint, let me know!”
That’s all the news for now. I hope you all enjoy the summer and look forward to sharing more updates with you soon!
