We’re a little light on the news this edition, and I’m guessing it’s because we all got caught up at reunion—but keep those updates coming! First off, congratulations are in order for Teddy Rice and his wife, Sarah, who welcomed a son into the world in August! Henry Taggart Rice made a speedy entry into the world with Sarah only in labor for 45 minutes! Henry weighed in at 7 pounds, 3 ounces and joins big sister Charlotte at the Rices’ home in Boston.


Congratulations are also in order for Meg Donohue Preuss, whose debut novel How to Eat a Cupcake is being published by HarperCollins in March of 2012 under her maiden name. Meg received a M.F.A. in writing from Columbia University after Dartmouth and currently lives in San Francisco.


Lastly, major kudos and thank-yous go out to Caroline Hribar, Adam Demark and Ned Dybvig, who led our class in raising more than $350,000 for the Dartmouth College Fund this reunion year. We broke all the records for young alumni classes and contributed to the most successful year ever for the fund! With 33.6-percent participation, our class raised a total of $352,175! The size of our gift set a new Dartmouth College Fund record for 10th-reunion fundraising, beating the record of the class of 1988 by more than $60,000 and totaled more than the ’01s, ’02s and ’06s combined. We were also awarded the Roger C. Wilde 1921 Reunion Award, given to a class for extraordinary achievement in setting a new reunion dollar record. “We could not have done this without the generosity of all of you, our classmates. Thank you for your help in continuing one of the most important Dartmouth traditions—giving back to our College on the Hill. By doing so we have helped current students enjoy the same Dartmouth experience that has opened so many doors for us since graduation. We would also like to give a special thanks to the dedicated, energetic volunteers who donated their time to make this year’s Dartmouth College Fund campaign truly great!” This dedicated group is always looking for volunteers, so e-mail me or Caroline Hribar if you’re interested in helping out.
