Class Note 2000

Hi everyone! The news has really slowed down over the past few months, but please keep sending it my way! I hope everyone is doing well and is getting ready for our 10th reunion in Hanover. The reunion planning committee is hard at work to plan a fabulous reunion next year. Among those involved with the committee are Monique Roy, Hoi Ning Ngai, Jenny Mahon, Kristen Ashford, Nick Russell and Lauren Hickey Magoun. In November we put on mini-reunions throughout the country to help get folks into the reunion spirit. Classmates who co-hosted these events included Janelle Ruley, Kate Ryan, Shannon Danzy de Castro, Marshall Hyzdu, Libby Wilkinson, Beau River, Cabray Haines and Yale Dieckmann. (Don’t worry if you missed them—we’ll be having more mini-reunions in the spring). And, of course, mark your calendars for the big event in Hanover, June 17-19. “The Zeroes: Noughty by Nature” will be a celebration of our class and all of the things we’ve accomplished in the past 11 years. There are a number of ways you can stay informed about the reunion—visit dartmouth2000.wordpress.com, join the Dartmouth Class of 2000 Reunion Facebook group or follow us on Twitter @dartmouth2000. It’s also never too late to get involved with planning—just e-mail dartmouth2000reunion@gmail.com. We are so excited to reconnect in June and hope you are too!In other exciting news, Catherine (Ware) Kilduff and her husband, Patrick, welcomed the arrival of Lila Eason Kilduff on June 15, 2010, in Berkeley, California. “Her big brother Lane, now 3 years old, is psyched to have a little sister. I’m working as an oceans program attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity and Patrick is looking forward to finishing his ecology Ph.D. at UC Davis in 2011.”


Also, Mitzi Zarfoss has been busy! “Since the summer I finished my veterinary ophthalmology residency at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, passed ophthalmology boards, married my long-distance love Chris Cook and moved to San Francisco. The wedding was such a joyous event! Melanie Kay has been a friend since childhood and was my maid of honor in our shared hometown of York, Pennsylvania. Other Dartmouth attendees included Beth Duncan, Zoë McLaren, Stef Rathgeb ’06 and Tom Wolf ’72. I will be practicing veterinary ophthalmology in El Cerrito/Berkeley, California. So far, our only children are the four-legged kind (two dogs). I hope that classmates will look us up!”
