Class Note 1999
Issue
September-October 2024
Hello, ’99s!
As I write this, we are two weeks out from our 25th reunion. What an amazing time it was to see our class back on campus! There was an overwhelming sense of joy as ’99s came together to reconnect with each other and with Dartmouth. Thank you to all the classmates and their loved ones who made it to reunion. And to those of you who weren’t there, we missed you and hope you can make it to the next one.
A big thank you again to our reunion chairs Jeff Fine and Catherine Pieroni,who brought this incredible event together. They shared that our reunion was attended by 325 classmates, with approximately 650 total attendees. We had the largest 25th reunion since 2017.
Our classmates traveled from near and far, but it was Ridwan Budijono from Hong Kong and Mamie Lawrence Gallagher from Hawaii who traveled the farthest.
During reunion we went through 350 ice cream cones, 24 bottles of bug spray, and 1,400 croissants and pastries. We hosted the beloved Sylvia Langford as our reunion guest. We had dinner on Baker lawn. Some classmates and their high school children did college tours, and we all remembered our first visits to this beautiful place.
This is my last column as I pass the job of class secretary back over to Tony Perry. It has been a pleasure hearing from all of you through the years and sharing your news with the class. Stay in touch!
