Class Note 2000
Issue
January-February 2023
Greetings from Karen Liot Hill, guest columnist for this edition of Class Notes. It’s Homecoming Weekend, and I am headed to the alumni parade and bonfire after I finish these notes. I’m looking forward to seeing my daughter, Marina Liot ’21, who is coming home from New York City for the weekend. Yay!
Class president Joseph Scott sends greetings from Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. After several weeks of cross-country driving, a battle with Covid, and a Disney cruise to Alaska, he reports that Team Copeland-Scott is getting settled in their home—for the next year at least.
Joe Brown has been in Hawaii since 2017 and sent in this update: “This summer I received tenure and promotion to associate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, effective August 1. Also I got married on July 23 to my love Carl V. Brown (né Casanova), who is a servicemember in the U.S. Army.
“We had a backyard ceremony in Mililani, Oahu, Hawaii, and also managed to livestream on Zoom to friends and family around the world. John Brett officiated and among the guests were some other Dartmouth alums, namely Heather Stewart, Tico Blumenthal ’02, Victoria Moy ’03, and Krispin Leydon ’99. Earlier in the summer I managed to cross paths with Joe Scott before he left Hawaii.”
On the other side of the world from Hawaii, Andre Bishay is living in Switzerland with his growing family. “My wife, Valentina, and I moved from New York to Zug, Switzerland, two years ago,” he wrote. “Our 3-year-old son Arik already prefers Swiss-German to English and our daughter, Maya, just turned 1.” Andre has recently established a family office in Zug, Araya Global Management GmbH, and he invites any classmates who may be in the area to be in touch. The Bishays are 20 minutes from Zurich by train.
Brian Feldman and his wife welcomed their third child—and first daughter—Tessa, this past August 12. He reports that Tessa’s two older brothers, Asa (11) and Jonah (9), couldn’t be more proud! Brian is a partner at Harter Secrest & Emery LLP in Rochester, New York.
And that does it for me. Time to put on my Dartmouth jacket and head to the parade and bonfire, where I hope to see many ’00 classmates and get more updates for the next edition of Class Notes. Be sure to send us your news and updates to share in upcoming magazines. We love to hear from you!
