Class Note 2000
Hello, ’00s! I saw some fun photos from our 200th-day mini-reunions in July. Gatherings were reported in Grove City, Pennsylvania, Hanover and San Francisco, where I had dinner with Christina Dam, Kate (Christiaanse) Fenwick and Lucy (Buford) Ricca. If you aren’t already a member, join the Dartmouth class of 2000 Facebook page to stay up-to-date on mini-reunions and other class news.
Baby news: Kristin Veley Markovich and her husband, Mike, welcomed a daughter, Madeleine, in July. She joins big brother Gavin, 2. In August Caroline Hribar and her husband, Mallon Fitzpatrick, welcomed son Mallon Renton, who goes by Ren. He joins big sister Dylan, 2, and dog Goose, 11.
Just weeks before Ren was born, Caroline hosted a mini-reunion in Sag Harbor, New York, for a number of ’00s, including Cabray Haines, Charlotte (Zukowski) Sullivan, Debbie (Godsoe) Rand, Kate Fenwick, Jessica (Margolin) Fenton, Brook Cosby, Meaghan (Fanning) Karczewski, Whitney (Hale) Gardiner and myself. My summer tour also included a stop in Washington, D.C., where Cabray rounded up Linda (Aucoin) Green, Jacque (Weitzel) Stahl, Catherine (Kahl) Miliaris, Jen Burka ’01 and significant others for an evening. I’m sure I’m not the only one who had a busy summer—let me know where you traveled and with whom!
The Dartmouth football team plays Brown at Fenway Park on Friday, November 10, in a nationally televised game. This is my last chance to remind you to get tickets if you’ll be in the area—they are available at redsox.com.
Finally, I wanted to highlight a new(ish) college initiative, the Women of Dartmouth (WoD) regional alumnae communities. I’ve had a wonderful time with my local WoD dinner group and enjoyed the opportunity to get to know alumnae of all ages. We have been meeting for dinner every two months and recently launched theme nights, starting with a tiki party at the home of Su-Moon Paik ’81. I encourage all of you to get involved with your local WoD group or start one in your area. Reach out to me if you would like more information or contacts.
