Class Note 2003
I heard from Brian Mason, who writes, “Jocelyn, Lynn and I are still out in the Bay Area. Jocelyn teaches fourth grade and I work at IDEO leading the medical products group where there are lots of interesting and challenging design opportunities—for both big and small companies. We spend a lot of time on our bikes and Lynn is becoming more and more a fan. Some days I bike her to daycare while she rides in her iBert behind my handlebars. This weekend we are heading up to the Dartmouth cabin in Tahoe, California, with several friends to enjoy the snow and mountains. It should be a great time and we love the chance to host our friends in this New Hampshire-ish home away from home.”
It was also brought to my attention that Anthony Webb was recently listed in Connecticut Magazine’s “40 Under 40: Class of 2013” list. After Dartmouth Anthony obtained his J.D. at the University of Chicago and is currently in business school at Yale. He was recognized for his commitment to empowering youth through a national program called Boys Speak Out that he created with Lola Adedokun and Claribel Vargas. Congratulations!
This past weekend I was at a wedding for a friend from medical school and saw Sarah Mathew, who is in her fifth out of seven years of her general surgical residency at the University of Pennsylvania. “I’m soldiering on” she joked. I’m happy to report she looked well rested and as lovely as ever. It was fun to reminisce about how our paths had crossed in Hanover before really becoming friends in medical school. Sarah is considering a fellowship in either surgical oncology or trauma.
Finally, I’ve learned that some of you apparently think you need to have a “Mount Kilimanjaro moment” before you feel you can write an update. Let me assure you that is not the case. I know how excited I get hearing what you all have been up to and I think most people feel the same! Nothing is too unimpressive. To put people at ease, I’ll give a personal example. I am still single, without a proper date in approximately three and a half years, and spend most evenings playing with my cats Margo and Bayliss. My primary hobbies currently are cheering on the Pittsburgh Penguins as they march towards their fourth Stanley Cup Championship and trying my best at re-learning some Spanish with Rosetta Stone. Es más difícil de lo que recuerdo! In any event, there have been no Mount Kilimanjaro’s, or even Mount Wycheproof’s (google it). But the valleys can be quite fun too. Please consider an update for the next column!
