Class Note 2002

As has become the custom, this month we have lots of baby news! 


First I heard from Sam Reisner.Sam and his wife,Mariah (Wesleyan ’04), welcomed their daughter Aviva Cadenza Reisner on May 16.


Julie (Cumming) Higgins and her husband, Rob, announced the birth of their son John “Jack” Cushman Higgins on June 24. Jack is named after their two grandfathers, both of whom went to Dartmouth, so he already has green blood! The family is doing well and Julie has been enjoying her summer on maternity leave.


Jesse Singer and his wife, Alyssa, celebrated the arrival of Declan Brice Singer on August 26—the couple’s fifth wedding anniversary.


Allan Klinge and his wife, Sarah, traveled to Korea in August to bring home their beautiful boy Carsten Jae Klinge.


In other news Heidi (Ellenbecker) Trimarco and her husband, Tom Trimarco ’01, just moved back to the Upper Valley with their two daughters, Anna (3) and Cecilia (18 months). The family is living in Lyme, New Hampshire, and Tommy is working at DHMC as an attending in the emergency department. 


Heidi also filled me in on Mel Broad’s August wedding to Martin Seymour. “Mel and Martin got married in Groton, Massachusetts, with many Dartmouth alums there including ’02s Christine (Walker) Lyons, Rose (Kraemer) Carpenter, Julie (Cumming) Higgins, Katie Codey, Sara Donahue, Kate Paolino, Jen (LaBerge) Hutchins, Annie (Nash) Bing and Kendra Tupper, plus Tim Carpenter ’01, Bill Bing ’01, Emily Turner ’03, Anne Bernard ’04, Mel’s sister Angela Broad ’06, Tommy and myself. It was a great wedding and Mel was a gorgeous bride.”


Last but not least I heard from Jorge Montalvo about a new project he’s working on: “I’m creating an agency of state government for Governor Cuomo called the New York State Office for New Americans, which will help immigrants fully participate in New York’s civic and economic life. Ford Motor Co. recently gave me a Latino Leaders Award for the innovative service delivery model we’re pioneering to teach English and help people naturalize, as well as the work we’re doing to help DREAMers take full advantage of the recent change in federal immigration policy without getting scammed.”


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