Hey, ’01s! I hope you’re all enjoying the summer. 


When I was collecting news for this column in June, Dan Pollock wrote to say he’d just finished his first legislative session working as the executive assistant to the Minnesota House majority leader, helping to make Minnesota the 12th state to legalize gay marriage. He and his wife, Rachel (Truman State ’02), are expecting their second child in August, around the time this column reaches you. Congratulations, Dan! 


Also in June, Scott and Alisa (Beck) Harrison attended the wedding of Kushal Patel and Rekha Rao in Newport Beach, California. Best wishes to Rekha and Kush, who made his entrance especially memorable by riding in on an elephant! In addition to celebrating with the newlyweds, the Harrisons enjoyed catching up with Melissa (Singh) Merchant, Eric Sirianni, Alex Oren ’02 and various other Alpha Chis from the classes of ’03 to ’05. 


Kristin Luckenbill recently sent word that she retired from professional soccer, got her M.B.A. at Darden (University of Virginia) and “finally entered the ‘real world’ as a management consultant in Morristown, New Jersey.” In other exciting career news, Jane Serene Limmer is moving to Denver and joining the ob/gyn faculty at the University of Colorado this month. She would love to see any Dartmouth folks in the area. 


We have some new ’01 family members to announce, too! Kay Weston Walsh and Greg Walsh ’98, along with awesome big sister Fiona, welcomed Franziska Laura on April 20 in Zurich. John and Leah (Threatte) Bojnowski welcomed Caleb August Bojnowski on April 29. Caleb weighed 7 pounds, 8 ounces, at birth. I’ve seen photos of both babies on Facebook, and they are absolutely adorable. Finally, Luisa (Capasso) Robinson and her husband, Tony, were anticipating their second son’s arrival on the day this column was due. Luisa, we’re all looking forward to an update!
