Starting off,a reminder to save the weekend of June 17-19 for our 15th reunion! Now on to the news. Laura Adams writes, “I’m still living in San Francisco and still working at Google, but I finally have some more exciting life news to share! In April I got engaged to Dave Young (University of Colorado Boulder ’00) during a spectacular adventure in Thailand, and we married on October 9 in Carmel, California. It was an incredible weekend of sunny weather, beautiful scenery, good friends, good tunes and (as expected) plenty of dancing! Katie Tyler Walania and Beth Mullin served as my co-maids of honor, and their speech (or should I say, song!) blew everyone away. Various other Dartmouth friends were in attendance doing the Big Green proud: Kristin Veley Markovich, Katie Jason Oldoerp, Mary Lane Jackmin, Hollin Calloway, Kathryn Cahill Thompson, Eric Walania ’98 and Michelle Duke, Tu’06. After honeymooning in Kauai, Dave and I are closing out the whirlwind year with a heavier dose of “ho-hum”: commercial real estate and tech marketing by day, lots of Netflix and commute-exhaustion by night and weekends of college football and slow cooking.”

In baby news, Nick Russell and Jen Caine welcomed William Dyer Russell to the family in March. “He’s a smiley big guy and doing very well. We’d love to catch up with any classmates visiting town!” Also, on July 27, Caitlin Bronner gave birth to her son, William Lars Bronner Lindberg. “William is our second child—he joins big sister Charlotte, who is 5 1/2. My husband, Martin, and I are thrilled. In other news, in January of this year I became a partner at the New York law firm Ingram Yuzek Gainen Carroll & Bertolotti, where I practice commercial litigation.” Continuing the fabulous baby news, Kelly Bodio Downey and her husband, Shamus, welcomed son Conall Richard Downey on June 17. He’s a cutie if I do say so myself! After three years at Newton Wellesley Hospital, Kelly is back at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, working in their new cancer center in Needham, Massachusetts, as instructor of medicine for hematology and oncology.

After seeing Debbie (Godsoe) Rand’s updates on Facebook capturing their recent move to Australia, I reached out to find out more. “Mike and I are living in Adelaide, South Australia, with our two kids, Emily (7) and Simon (4). Mike was approached by Philipp Saumweber ’01 and John Phinney about a year ago to see if he was interested in joining an exciting startup called Sundrop Farms. He took a position as the company’s finance director and moved to Adelaide in February 2015. The kids and I spent the summer with my and Mike’s parents and I was lucky enough to make quick trips to D.C. and N.Y.C., where I got to see and say goodbye to Cabray Haines, Whit (Hale) Gardiner, Catherine (Kahl) Miliaras, Jess (Margolin) Fenton and Caroline Hribar. Mike flew home to pick us up over Labor Day weekend and we made the big move in September! We live in the city center and are a few blocks from the Phinneys and our son Simon goes to the same childcare facility as John and Erin’s son, Benjamin. Adelaide is a wonderful city—there is always something to do on the weekends in one of the city parks. We are 20 minutes away from the beach and we are an hour outside of Australia’s famous Barossa wine country. Australia is an amazing place and we’re soaking in as much of it as we can! We have a guest room and I’m not working outside of the house so I’m available to serve as tour guide for anyone who finds himself or herself in South Australia and looking for a place to stay!
