Hello again, ’02s! I will preface this by saying that if you read our column in the last issue you will be sorely disappointed by this one. Guest columnists make life so much more fun for all involved, so e-mail me and volunteer to be one or suggest one today.


While our news for this month is not extensive it is all very happy! Liz and Chris Baldwin are proud to announce the arrival of Cameron Christopher Baldwin, who was born on September 7, 2009. The family lives outside of Philadelphia and takes frequent trips back to New England, where Cameron has already had his first Fenway Park experience.


Jeff Dwyer and his wife, Brenda Vale Dwyer ’93, welcomed their first child, Martina Charlotte Valentina Dwyer, on September 21, 2009. The family lives in Hanover.


Finally, Kristin King got married on May 30, 2009, to Jeremy Wright (University of Cincinnati ’06), a fellow Ohioan. They were married in their hometown of Piqua, Ohio. Many Dartmouth alums were in attendance. Maid of honor was Correne Bredin, along with bridesmaids Carly Haggard ’03 and Kristina Guarino Coen ’01. Dartmouth guests included Judy Parish Oberting ’91, Laura Mills ’01, Kevin Coen, Emilia Peraza, Jillian Rockoff ’03, Amy Ferguson Baillie ’03, Krista Dornfried ’05 and Meagan Walton ’05. For the next two years the couple will reside in Lubbock, Texas, where Kristin goes to school at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. Jeremy works for Procter & Gamble as a mechanical engineer out of Cincinnati, Ohio.


Hope you’re all having a wonderful holiday season and that 2010 brings terrific things your way—things that you will promptly write in to tell me about so I can share them with the class!
