Happy New Year!

Will Hughes and his wife, Gray, welcomed a healthy new baby, Alexander, on September 18. “He joins Peter (5) and Whitney (2). Three little kids is endless fun but also a workout!”

Susan (Swords) Gudas added to her family in the fall, too. “My husband, Chris Gudas (Brown ’01), and I welcomed Olivia Mary Gudas this October. We are overjoyed and our Doberman pinscher Perrla has been an amazing big sister.”

Tara Dairman and Andy Cahill became parents just before the turn of the year. They “are thrilled to welcome baby Nora Lucille Dairman-Cahill to the family. She was born on December 23, 2015, in Boulder and looks forward to her first visit to Dartmouth this summer for reunion.” For the record, these three babies are exceptionally adorable. I saw pictures of Alexander and Nora, and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Olivia.

Ben Mandelker wrote with big news of a different variety. His podcast, Watch What Crappens, “which skewers Bravo TV,” hit a ratings milestone of 200,000 monthly listeners and reached No. 3 on the iTunes TV and film charts. “I’m super excited about it, and I can’t wait to see how it grows over the next year!”
