May-June 2020
Hi, ’02s.
This is the year many of us turn 40, so I expect there will be many trips and celebrations with old friends from college—send me your best adventure stories and heartwarming moments.
“Many of the ladies who spent senior year together at 7 Maple Street celebrated our 40th birthdays in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, at the end of January. J.T. (Leaird) Schiltz, Tucker (Ballard) Mahoney, Elizabeth Badger, Kate (Murphy) Voltz, Kate (Knowles) Frankel, Liz (Balanda) Baldwin,and Rebecca (Eley) Weeks rented a villa up in the hills over Mislamoya beach and spent four days realizing how little (thankfully) has changed since we met in 1998, despite having 16 kids between us (who stayed home with amazing grandparents) and no longer spending our time at crew practice. We can still talk for hours, count on each other to show up whenever one of us needs the others, and find time for pong tournaments, but now those happen overlooking the ocean. Five of the seven husbands with us were also Dartmouth grads: Dan Mahoney ’01, John Nichols ’01, Matt Frankel, Chris Baldwin, and Christian Weeks ’05.”
In February I traveled to Playa del Carmen with Allison (Stuntz) Schulte, Kristin (Shigley) Livingston, Mara Buchbinder,and Molly Johnson for a 40th birthday year celebration. We snorkeled in cenotes, dined on delicious local cuisine, floated around in the ocean waves, and generally spent four days talking nonstop. One evening was spent reminiscing with digitized photos from our time at Dartmouth and we realized how glad we are that smartphones and social media didn’t exist back then!
Time with old friends is always a treat, so everyone mark your calendars for our 20th reunion in Hanover on June 18-20, 2021—a bit more than a year away. Planning officially begins this July, but we are starting to get the word out and asking around about who may be interested in helping plan. We’d like to have a 20th reunion planning committee in place by July. Please email dartmouthclassof2002@gmail.com if you are interested.
