Class Note 2000

Issue

Sept - Oct 2016

Greetings, class of 2000! Many of us were able to travel to Hanover in June for a glorious, sunny reunion weekend, when it was delightful to trade news with friends old and new. Thanks are due to our reunion chairs, Susi Kandel and Jenny (Viele) Mahon, who planned three days of events for our class, capped by fireworks on the Green on Saturday night. It was interesting to see how many of our lucky classmates and their families have found their way back to the Hanover region as full-time residents—including Marcus Coe and Lindsay (Bowen) Coe, Nick Russell and Jennifer Caine, Alex Magleby and Brooke McLaughlin ’01, Eli Burakian and Julia Martiesian ’01, Errik Anderson, Melissa Roth and Elizabeth Roberts.

Next a little class business: On all of our behalf I would like to thank our outgoing officers, Susi Kandel (president), Adam Siegel (vice president), Jenny Mahon (treasurer) and Kelly Heaps (secretary). They have given their time and effort to plan reunions, manage class business and help us give back to the College during the last five years. Kelly has served as our class secretary since graduation, and we all owe her a debt of gratitude for keeping us up-to-date on our classmates’ happenings during the last 16 years. I have big shoes to fill as I take up her pen! I would also like to introduce myself and our new class executives, who were elected in the weeks before reunion.

Congratulations to our new president, Joe Scott. He is an Army officer currently assigned to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. At Dartmouth he majored in history and was active in ROTC, Sigma Nu, the Marching Band and The Dartmouth. He previously served as our class newsletter editor. He and his wife, Emily Copeland Scott ’99, have two children.

Our new vice president is Athena Maikish. During college she studied in the Baker stacks, froze her fingers and toes coxing on the river for the women’s rowing team and played pong at Sigma Delt. Currently she lives in Westchester County, New York, runs global marketing campaigns for StubHub and chases around her 2.5-year-old twins, Abram and Anna.

Molly Gregg Otter was elected treasurer. She lives in Seattle with her husband, John, and their two children, Jackson (2) and Harriett (3 months). She is the chief investment officer for a tech-enabled lender called Lighter Capital.

And finally, I am your new class secretary, Kate (Ryan) Stowe. I live in San Francisco with my husband, Derick, and our two children, Annabel (3) and Graham (1.5). An English major and former business journalist, I now work in the financial services world and I have been active in launching the new Women of Dartmouth Bay Area organization. Please send me your news for future issues and reach out to any of your class officers if you would like to be involved with the executive committee or plan a mini-reunion in your area. I hope to hear from many of you during the next five years!
