November 2014 brought the return of one of the Upper Valley’s most anticipated events as Lindsay and Marcus Coe (along with their kids Bowen and Ellie) hosted their 13th annual Meatstorm in Enfield, New Hampshire. The annual event unites friends old and new to take part in Coe-curated wild game and imbibe on a multitude of libations. In addition to the arrival of Das Drinking Horn (with neck straps to enable hands-free beer holding—why didn’t this exist 15 years ago?) this year kids at Meatstorm officially outnumbered adults by a solid margin, which created a whole new type of storm for all in attendance. Fortunately, we all survived and I was able to catch up with a great crew of Dartmouth ’00 alumni from the New England area, including Kristen Scopaz, her husband, Dave, and daughter Aisley, who live in Maine; Lauren Scopaz, her husband, Derek, and kids Brayden and Devon, who live in Connecticut; Emily and Errik Anderson and their children, Catherine, Kastner, Elizabeth and Eve, who are in Hanover; Jonathan “J.T.” Taylor, his wife, Anne, and newborn daughter Willa, who are in South Boston; Sarah and Teddy Rice and their kids, Charlotte, Henry and Finley, who are in the Boston area; Alex Magelby and his wife, Brooke McLaughlin ’01, and their, daughter Piper; Melissa Roth, her husband, Dan, daughter Sam and newborn son Jackson, all of whom call the Upper Valley home. Also representing the Big Green at Meatstorm were Meg and David Lysy (both ’99s) and their twins, Mairaed and Hunter; Jenn Kaye Argenti ’99; Kate and Andy Hilton (both ’99s) and their kids, Hans and Hugo; Drew Lambert ’02 and his wife, Christina; Geoff Colla ’04; “adopted” ’00s Lynn and Mary Coe; and last but certainly not least, Dr. Larry Bowen ’67 and his beautiful bride, Sharleen, whose Plagiarism Punch is always a knockout! Can’t wait for next year’s celebration!

Kristin Veley is currently working in innovation and marketing at Diageo (a beverage alcohol company) in New York City. “I recently moved to Westchester with my husband, Michael, son Gavin (who was born December 2014) and dog Harley. In my spare time I’m working on being an entrepreneur. I recently self-published a children’s book on Amazon.com called The Best Baby in the World: A Love Song to Sing to Your Baby under my pen name Kristin Arden. Check it out! Does anyone work in children’s book publishing? I’d love some tips for future books I’m working on!”

Also, a reminder that our 15th reunion will be celebrated June 17-19 in Hanover. More information will be coming your way shortly!
