Hello, ’01s!


As I write the house is lit by candlelight, supplemented by the sterile glow of my laptop. Hurricane Irene was only a tropical storm by the time she blew through my neighborhood, but she managed to cause a little trouble and knock out the power many hours ago. The novelty is beginning to wear off, but it has been little more than an inconvenience, which is a relief after threats of so much damage. I hope those of you in the storm’s path and within reach of the summer’s earthquakes are all safe and sound! 


While in Cape Town, South Africa, on business Amanda Cook wrote to share a little about her life in London, where she recently bought a flat with her boyfriend Zak. Her role at a software company includes managing partnerships across Europe and Africa so she spends a great deal of time traveling. She also manages to maintain an amazing blog, Vintage Savoir Faire (http://bit.ly/r7fjhC), where she learns “to make good food, kitchen remedies and beauty products.” I am so impressed, Amanda! I recommend you all check it out. Also, please get in touch with her should you find yourself in London; she missed reunion and would love to meet up with any ’01s visiting her neck of the woods. 


Laura Enomoto submitted a quick note about her wedding. “I got married to Harrison McGrath (William and Mary) in Lyons, Colorado. We were happy so many of my Dartmouth friends could attend, including Lili Beneda, Jenna Levine, Melissa Mangan Fox, Vanessa Spencer Blake, Alisa Beck Harrison and Michele Coulombe Hosner. It was the best day of our lives!” Congratulations, Laura and Harrison! 


The fun nuptials news continued with an update from Michael Bern. Congratulations to Mike and his new wife, Rachel Roth ’02! They “got married right down the road from Hanover in Quechee, Vermont, and had a blast celebrating with a lot of Dartmouth folk including Brian Landry-Wilson, Handol Khym, Erika Cafarella, Eric Costello, Brian Maloney, Rob Costello, Matt Kuhn, Andrew Heisen, Karilyn Heisen, Anna Rudberg, Jen Feltner, Molly Feltner, Nat Rink ’99, Carolyn Swan ’02, Elyse Krantz ’02, Eric Schatz ’02, Robin Levine, Sarah Finck ’02, Hillary Schrenell ’02 and a bunch of Tuck ’09s.” The couple also hosted a dinner at the DOC House and jumped in the Connecticut River while on campus. Well played, Mike! 


Last, but not least, I received an exciting announcement from Halsey Morris that he is the proud father to a second son! Halsey and his wife, Laura, welcomed Edmund “Teddy” Morris on June 27. Congratulations to the whole family, including Pierce, who is now officially a big brother! 


Until next time, enjoy the crisp fall weather and keep the good news coming.
