Happy 2023, ’01 family. It is wonderful to hear that so many of you are seeing each other these days, with the latter half of 2022 including many ’01 nuptials. Ricky Joshi married Morgan Birch (Cal State ’11) at a beautiful multi-day wedding in Scottsdale, Arizona. Close to 25 Dartmouth alums celebrated with the happy couple, including Jim Willett, Eric Bussey, Tom Allason ’02, Chad Silverman ’02, Ross Johnson ’02, Rishi Kapur, Ed Yip ’04, and Matt Meehan ’04! Ricky is the cofounder of the bedroom brand Saatva (and has been opening locations across the country, including a new one in Boston) and Morgan is a program manager at Google. They reside in Austin, Texas. In July Evelyn Chen went to Banff, Canada, to celebrate Hsin Lin’s wedding to Troy TenEyck, along with Bernette Tsai, Candice Ling, and Wendy Yu ’02. Then in August Evelyn headed to Tuscany, Italy, for love, wine, and gelato at the wedding of Karin Goodfellow and Peter Tsapatsaris. Bruno Carvalho ’04, Janine Denny ’02, Andrea Haffty ’02, Minh Le, Kelly Fisher, Melissa Miranda, Arthi Reddy, Rachel Richardson, Michael Rozas ’02, Roshan Shah,and Anila Thomas joined in the Italian celebration. While in Siena, Italy, for the Palio horse race, Evelyn met Jolie Kemp ’21, who asked what it was like at the College—when she was born! Tommy Levi married Melissa Gurat in Vancouver, Canada, with Dave Castleman, Brian Nealon, and Amanda Herring ’02 in attendance. James Sitar wrote in with two exciting pieces of news: “I got married on October 8! My remarkable wife, Molly Gilles, is a UW-Madison grad. Some fellow Dartmouth alums helped us celebrate, including Ben DeWitte ’02, Brad Sturges ’02, Angela Russo, and Mike Vidmar ’04. And in the first year of the pandemic I started my own publishing company devoted to the game of golf. It’s called Back Nine Press, and I’ve just published my fourth book: a children’s book about golf by television commentator Shane Bacon. People can learn more and order our hardcover books at www.back9press.com.”

In other news, after 17 years teaching at Edgemont Jr./Sr. High School, Alisa Harrison joined the math department at Scarsdale High School this fall. She encouraged any alumni living in Scarsdale to reach out! Finally, I promised Erich Shigley ’99, Th’00, that I would mention the recent trip that he, Debra (Brodsky) Shigley, Joe Sondheimer, and I took to the Orlando, Florida, area with our combined four children. Rollercoasters were ridden, spells were cast, Mickey ice creams were consumed, and the kids had fun too. Cheers to a wonderful 2023 filled with continuing ’01 adventures!
