Class Note 2001
Happy holidays, ’01s! It feels funny to write that while nibbling on Halloween candy, but 2015 is sneaking up on us. Before you know it I’ll be nudging you to register for our 2016 reunion. Stay tuned for committee opportunities.
Congratulations to Puck Wheaton and Julia Richman ’04, married in Crested Butte, Colorado, in August! The happy couple celebrated with an impressive collection of Dartmouth grads: Lee Richman ’67, Doug Richman ’65, Erik Wright and wife Cate (Mowell) Wright ’99, Luke Perry, Tom Stephens, John Nichols, Tam Boyar, Ben Cotting, Pablo Stern, Schuyler Minert, Nick Claassen, Martin Kerestes, Rob Ozols and other friends from the classes of 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, Tu’08 and Tu’09.
And best wishes to Rochelle Bourgault, too! On October 18 she married James Gotz (University of Michigan ’91) at Laudholm Farm in Wells, Maine. They hosted a full weekend of events and lucked out when rain threatened the ceremony but held off until the cocktail hour (held inside, fortunately). Alums celebrating with the couple included Thalia (Margalit) Krakower, Andy Hoey, John and Kascha (Semon) Snavely and Shea McInerney ’00.
Kudos to Mara Tieken, an assistant professor at Bates College, for authoring another book. The University of North Carolina Press recently published Mara’s Why Rural Schools Matter. In other professional news, Dave Castleman left Sullivan & Cromwell to become an assistant attorney general in the investor protection bureau of the New York attorney general. Congrats, Dave! Finally, Lindsay Mac (Lindsay MacIndoe) released her debut single from her new pop album Animal Again in late October. You can get it for free at www.lindsaymac.com. Way to go, Lindsay!
Once again, we have many new babies to welcome! Catherine Zusky and Eric Hogenson are living in Los Angeles with their two boys, Charlie (almost 4) and Marcus Xavier (born in May). Cat writes, “We teach at the same high school here. We were recently so excited to see Brad Crevier and his charming wife, Sierra, who ventured out from Boston with their amazing, traveling 3-month-old daughter Inde.” Carolyn (Roth) Fiuza and husband Pedro are the proud new parents to little Juliana, born September 4. Carolyn notes they’ll all be traveling to Pedro’s native Brazil for Christmas. Best of luck on the baby’s first big trip! Kelly Fisher and her husband, Matt Walker, welcomed their adorable son, Orion (class of 2036), on September 28. During the summer Pam (Crikelair) Garrity and her husband welcomed their fourth child, a daughter named Sadie. Pam says, “She joins Paige (4) and twins Kiera and Kevin (19 months). Thankfully she is an easy baby—as most singletons are after you’ve had twins! We are settled in a routine and I’m back to work as a realtor in Fairfield County, Connecticut.”
Kristin Delaney and Alissa (Abbey) Stoltz met up in Croton Falls, New York, for the N.Y. metro area fall mini-reunion in October. Together with their families, including Austin Wheeler ’02 and Don Stoltz, they enjoyed pumpkin picking, pony rides, tractor riding and cider donuts. Look out for another mini-reunion in the area in the spring!
Happy New Year!
