Class Note 2002
Issue
November-December 2022
Hello, ’02s!
Charlotte (Baxter) Maines and Stanton Maines welcomed son Weston Robert on May 23; he joins brother Ryker, age 4. The new family of four lives in Seattle, where Charlotte is a director at Amazon overseeing the Fire TV business, including sales, engagement, monetization and advertising products, and engineering.
I also heard from first-time contributor Emily Gomez-Hayes: “Hello, fellow ’02s! I’ve never actually sent an update. I’ve been practicing law in Pittsburgh since graduating from George Washington University Law School in 2007 and passing the Pennsylvania Bar. Before law school I took some time to travel the world a bit. After landing in Pittsburgh I met and married my husband, Eric (University of Pittsburgh ’91), in 2014 (with Catherine Kemp in attendance!) and welcomed our son, Evan, in December 2015 and our son, Elliott, in January 2018. Life is very full these days between solo practice and Cub Scout meetings. If you’re ever in Pittsburgh, reach out! It would be great to catch up.”
Amanda Potter wrote, “I’m happy to share that I’ve begun a new position as Putnam assistant director of learning and community engagement at Vassar College Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center (where, in a small-world moment, the director is Bart Thurber, who was a curator at the Hood Museum for many years). Jeff Vardaro and I are very excited to explore the Hudson Valley, New York, together with our daughter, Ellie.”
Jorge Montalvo shared a couple of exciting updates, “Professionally, I will be profiled in Crain’s New York Business in its annual list of ‘Notable Hispanic Leaders.’ I’m also going to be ranked somewhere in City and State Magazine’s annual ‘Power List of the 100 Latino Leaders in New York State.’ Personally, I had the pleasure of attending Kevin Allen’s wedding, hosted at Mike Payette’s home. Additional Dartmouth folks in attendance were Christopher Allen, Melissa McDaniel ’01, Blake Ratcliff, and Niegel Smith (whose Flea Theater in Lower Manhattan is going through a revival this year) as well as their associated families and children. Earlier in the quarter Frank Yoshida joined the group for the bachelor party.”
Thanks for all the great news! Visit us at 2002.dartmouth.org to submit an update of your own.
