Class Note 2000
Issue
It’s always fun when I come across news about classmates as I’m checking in on the day’s news. This was the case back in September when during my daily visit to boston.com (even though I’ve lived in Cincinnati, Ohio, for more than seven years, I still need my Boston fix!), I encountered a news story about Global Rescue, an evacuation and medical assistance company. Having followed Global Rescue for some time now, I clicked on the link and was thrilled to read about the firm’s success. As many of you know, Melissa Roth is vice president and general counsel for Global Rescue, which was founded by her husband, Dan Richards, Tu’03, back in 2004. As stated in the “World’s Perils Give Rise to a Rescue Business” article on boston.com, “At a time when companies are sending employees to every corner of the globe and adventure travelers are seeking thrills in droves, Global Rescue’s evacuation and medical assistance services are in great demand. The prevalence of natural disaster, terrorist attacks and civil uprisings also means travelers are more likely to find themselves in crisis…the outfit conducts more than 1,000 operations a year. It has responded to coup attempts in Mali and Madagascar, terror attacks in India and the 2011 tsunami in Japan. Global Rescue has opened three satellite locations since 2010 (the firm is based on Boston): in Bangkok, Islamabad, and Lebanon, New Hampshire. It has about 3.5 million individual and corporate customers and is seeing a 40-percent increase in clients every year. One of its more notable clients is NASA—but only for earth-bound operations.” But a fast-growing company wasn’t enough and it was time to grow their family! On July 22 Melissa and Dan welcomed Samantha Lulu into their lives and have been enjoying every minute of this new adventure! After having lived in Boston for a few years, Melissa and Dan moved to Etna, New Hampshire, in April and have welcomed the change from city life. Sam did experience her first Dartmouth Homecoming this year, joining family friends including Emily and Errik Anderson, Marcus and Lindsay Coe, Alex Magleby and Brooke McLaughlin ’01 and ’99s Kate and Andy Hilton and was one of many kids sporting Big Green sweaters! Speaking of the Coes, a few weeks after participating in Homecoming events, Marcus and Lindsay welcomed daughter Ellis Marjorie into their family. Ellis joins big brother Bowen as the latest addition to the Coe family, who after a year in Vancouver are back living in Enfield, New Hampshire, and enjoying being back in the Upper Valley. And last, but certainly not least, congratulations to Darlyn Rodriguez Hayes! She and her husband, Mike, had their first son, Orlando Conrad Hayes, on August 24 and are so excited to be new parents! I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season and joyful new year! All the best to you and your families and I look forward to hearing about all of the awesome things our classmates are doing in 2014! —Kelly Heaps, 3666 Willowlea Court, Unit B, Cincinnati, OH 45208; heaps.k@pg.com
