Class Note 1999
Issue
March-April 2023
Hello, ’99s!
Save the date for our 25th reunion! It will be held on June 13-16, 2024. While they are telling us that these dates are still subject to change, it is not too early to mark your calendar and start thinking about your travel plans.
We want to make sure you receive all of our reunion correspondence, so please check to see if all of your contact information is correct and update it if you need to, at alumni.dartmouth.edu/update-your-information.
Tony Perry and Alexis Bunten co-wrote a book with Danielle Greendeer (lead author) and Garry Meeches Sr. (illustrator) that launched in August. Their book, Keepunumuk: Weeâchumun’s Thanksgiving Story, reframes the Thanksgiving story by putting Native peoples and nature at its heart. They had a full travel schedule in the run-up to Thanksgiving, with events in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Plymouth, Massachusetts.
In other news, Sara Braca published a funny, endearing, and inspirational memoir that embraces the adventures of single life. Her book When the Church Burns Down, Cancel the Wedding is available in print and electronic formats. Sara is now living in a beautiful 15th-century flat in Tuscany, Italy, but visited the Connecticut area for a book tour in October.
Tony Perry writes that the Dartmouth Club of London emerged from the pandemic with a great event in Regents Park in September. He says: “It was great to meet in person again after so long and great to meet so many alums! There are many ’15s and ’16s in London nowadays and all I met were doing exciting work, mainly around finance and climate change. The club is emerging from the pandemic and has several events, including a tour of the Foundling Museum by Claire Jeffers in October. The Foundling Museum tells the story of the Foundling Hospital, the United Kingdom’s first children’s charity, which sought to care for and educate London’s neediest children.” Along with Tony and Claire, Risana Zitha, Vanessa Berberian Fernquest,and Meg Lysy were at the event.
Join our class Facebook page at www.facebook.com/groups/Dartmouth1999. It’s a fun way to connect with classmates. Scroll through the October posts to see some photos of the T-shirts from our days on campus posted by Catherine Maxson Pieroni, Eric Jenkins, and Karen Mangold Cook and a now vintage poster of our ’99 bonfire that Julia Sharma found in her basement.
Until next time.
