July-August 2023

First off, some baby news—congratulations to Ellie (Off) Pomeroy! She and husband Peter welcomed daughter Penelope this spring. Penelope joins big brother Cubby, 3. Ellie lives in San Anselmo, California, with her family. And more congrats to Ned Dybvig, new father to his third, baby Isabel. Ned lives in London with his wife, Georgina, and their family.

Still got it: a shout-out to Cabray Haines, who skated to two national titles at the U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships in March, with her teams winning the adult and masters divisions. Cabray has competed with the DC Edge synchronized skating organization for the last 10 years, and this isn’t her first time reigning as national champion—she has six other gold medals to her credit. Cabray lives in Washington, D.C., with her husband and two children. When she’s not on the rink, she’s an investment banker.

Fun fact: Cabray is a member of Wearers of the Green, Dartmouth’s athletic hall of fame, along with 25 more of our classmates—including four members of the 1997 water polo national championship team (Neville Bonwit, Dan Concannon, Matt K. Nelson, and Ed Thomas), the 1999 Ivy League women’s tennis player of the year (Rebecca Dirksen), 2000 Ivy League baseball player of the year (Brian Nickerson), and many other three-time All Americans and national champions. Hall of famer or not, who else is still out there competing?

More congratulations to Max Gross, who is a finalist for the 2023 Sami Rohr Prize for Fiction for his debut novel, The Lost Shtetl. He won the 2020 National Jewish Book Award as well.

Finally, some sad news—I received notice of the passing of one of our classmates, Elizabeth (Fenzel) King. Elizabeth was a longtime New York City resident who moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, during the pandemic. She was a teacher, a traveler, a dedicated runner and marathoner, wife to Chris, and mom of Nicholas, 6, and Sophie, 4. At Dartmouth she was an English major, studied abroad in Trinidad and Barcelona, and was a member of Kappa Delta Epsilon.

Send your news, notes, and middle-aged athletic accomplishments my way and have a great summer!
