Happy almost spring, fellow ’01s! The class of 2001 baby boom continues. Robin Levine and her husband, Jonathan Cook, welcomed son Eli Solomon Cook-Levine in December. We are told that little Eli looks a lot like his dad but has his mom’s eyes. The whole family is looking forward to a winter filled with long strolls down Laguna Beach in California. Abby Gillard and her wife, Mary Grefe, welcomed baby Margaret “Maggie” Marie in early September. She joins big sister Mary, 2.

Shazia Omar wrote in from Dhaka, Bangladesh, where she is still writing and exploring yoga. She recently edited a new anthology, Golden: Bangladesh at 50, to celebrate the country’s 50th anniversary.

Finally, since Josh Crowfoot wrote in with his first ever class update, I am happy to quote him directly. He reported, “I’m living in Chattanooga, Tennessee, working as a commercial real estate attorney for Daspin & Aument LLP. Chattanooga has a lot of the beauty of the woods and mountains of New Hampshire! I live there with my wife, Randi, and two kids, Eloise (2) and Jack (3). I was bummed the ’01 class reunion got canceled this past summer (always a good time!). For the latter part of 2021 I was able to attend a few Zoom calls with fellow ’01s Jorge Miranda, Aki Naito, Kaili Temple, Pam Lombardi, and Joe McKnight to get my Dartmouth fix. Good conversation and adult beverages were had! Also, Aki gave birth to her first child, daughter Yuna Miel Naito Westin, on October 28, which was wonderful baby news! If any ’01s are down Tennessee-way, give me a shout.”
