Hello, ’02s. As I write this Hurricane Sandy is bearing down upon the Northeast. Perhaps by the time you read this there will be some interesting post-Sandy stories to share? Send me an update!


I heard from Megan (Harrison) Linn about the birth of her daughter. Megan wrote, “My husband, Mike Linn (Elon ’04), and I welcomed our first child, Madison Katherine Linn, into the world on September 10, 2012. She was seven weeks early but otherwise healthy and has been home for more than four weeks now and is doing great. We are all living in St. Paul, Minnesota, where I’m finishing up my fellowship in neonatology at the University of Minnesota.”


Jared Craft and his wife, Kristen, also welcomed a daughter, Hailey, in early September. The family is doing great and Jared said that they “couldn’t be happier.”


Mike Maturo and his wife, Jenn, announced the birth of their son Maddux Hanley Maturo on August 29. Maddux was three weeks early but is healthy and they are thrilled to have added him to the family.


Hillary Schrenell attended Laura Grey’s beautiful August wedding to Robert Honstein (Yale ‘04) in Chester, Vermont. The wonderful weekend brought together Dartmouth alums from across the country, including Meaghan Gragg, Sam (Burdman) Weigand (and her adorable baby daughter Carmen Sofia), Daniele Genadry, Holly Shaffer ’03, Caitlin McNally ’03, Nomi Stone ’03, Brian Tai ’01, Jourdan Abel ’03, Jon Cedar ’03, Billy Carty ’03, Kat Anderson ’03, Jon Shea ’03, Leo Pollock ’03, Kate Gage ’05, Brooke McLaughlin ’01, Jordan Kovnot ’04 and Jeff Kahn ’01.


Lastly I heard from John Wason ’71 about Sharon Moni (Davies) Haji Mkanga. John reports that Moni earned a master’s from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and then became an employee of the U.S. State Department. Following a year of further training she recently embarked for her first diplomatic post in the capital of the small West African country of Togo. Moni is married to a man from Tanzania and she is the proud mother of three children, a boy and two girls.


John added, “She’s kind of hard to get a hold of there in Togo, and of course she’s quite busy learning the ropes of international diplomacy.”


That’s all the news for now. Please keep sending along your updates.
