Class Note 2002
Lots of news to report!
Lynnie Rudner updated me on the July 3 wedding of Ty Garland to Brian Roy. “It was so much fun catching up with John Pearson, Ariel Diaz, Peter Holoch, Jared Geller, Jim Hotaling, Matt Drossos and Katie (Baines) Drossos ’04, Elizabeth Badger and John Nichols ’01, Jillian Buhler ’03, Brad Leneis ’03 and Lindsay Reardon ’03. The wedding adventure started on a gorgeous boat in the Seattle Harbor, continued at a beautiful lodge on Bainbridge Island and then finished with more dancing and partying on the boat ride home. The weather was great and the weekend was spectacular!”
Drew Lambert was married to Christina Beale on September 19 at Cedar Point Yacht Club in Westport, Connecticut. Alumni in attendance included Kelsey Morgan, Tommy Dewland, Dave Weiss, Chris Winterbottom, Nate Anderson, James Parker, Mike Holick, Doug Fenton and Jess (Margolin) Fenton ’00, Marcus and Lindsay (Bowen) Coe ’00, Hugh Lavery ’98, Brent Edwards ’00, Ryan Sheehan ’00, Errik Anderson ’00, John Sheller ’09 and Kelly Hackett ’09. The ceremony was conducted (splendidly!) by Caroline Hribar ’00.
Mike and Kristi (Esmiol) James welcomed a daughter, Samantha Evelyn James, on September 21. Big brother Kai (two years and 12 days older) hasn’t missed a beat, loves touching Baby Sam’s toes, and enjoys holding her for about 12 seconds. Mom and dad are doing well and are adjusting to life with two kiddos!
Charlie Trumbull married Hannah Molofsky on October 4, 2015, in Charleston, South Carolina. Despite historic rain, flooding and road closures, the wedding was perfect. A number of Dartmouth alums braved the storm to attend, including Allan Klinge, Sam Short, Michael Bergen, Andrew Langworthy and Melinda Moore, and Kip Eideberg, Adv’02.
Allan Klinge also shared news that heand his wife, Sarah, welcomed home their baby girl, Sabine Soyul Klinge, from Korea in September. Sabine, 1 1/2 years old, joins big brother Carsten, 4, and the family in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Matthew Klentak was named as the general manager of the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team. Matt is the youngest GM in Phillies history! Matt and Lauren (Smalkowski) Klentak are currently living in California and are excited to return to the East Coast.
Brian Jacobs finished his doctorate in French literature at Princeton in May. He is still loving teaching at the Lawrenceville School and is a housemaster this year.
Last but certainly not least, Phil Mone, our wonderful class president, was married during Labor Day weekend to Zeina Kiblawi on Nantucket, Massachusetts, before immediate family and then traveled to Italy for their honeymoon. Phil writes, “My wife didn’t know anything about Dartmouth before I met her. I am slowly indoctrinating her. She has agreed to come to reunion, but is skeptical about my love for all things Hanover. I look forward to her meeting you all.”
In June the class of 2002 will celebrate our “15th” (technically it will be our 14th) reunion. Like our “10th” reunion in 2011, we will be clustered with the 2000s and the 2001s. So save June 17-19 as the date for our 15th reunion in Hanover. Stay tuned for more updates! If you have any questions, just write to us at dartmouth.class.of.2002@gmail.com.
Keep sending your class updates—this was a great round!
