Class Note 2000

Congrats to Dara Sanandaji on the premiere of his new documentary film about mental health, Breaking the Silence. In it he explores broad questions about mental health and the human brain. He wrote, produced, and codirected the film. He lives in Chicago.

Nils Ericson was recently named one of the “100 Coolest Dads in America” by the digital publication Fatherly, which says his home photos “are much better than your home photos.” For his part, Nils said, “I want my photos to feel like black and white, but in color.” He’s a Protland, Oregon-based professional photographer and he and his partner, Regina, are parents to a young son, Emmett.

Ben Wakelin’s architectural career is thriving—he was promoted to associate at ELS Architecture & Urban Design in Berkeley, California. His work includes reconfiguring the Stonestown Galleria mall in San Francisco. He and his wife have two children and live in the Bay Area.

Finally, and sadly, I wanted to note the news of Carrie Dunsmore’s passing last summer. Many of you probably read a moving article about her that was published in The Boston Globe. She died of complications of colon cancer. She leaves behind a beautiful family—husband Jon Flynn and children Nate, Peter, and Nora—as well as a legacy of public service in the law and love of our national parks and of reading good books (see her blog, Queen of Booklandia).

Until next issue.
