Class Note 2003
Rosa (Kim) Ryals writes, “Our family has quite a bit of change coming up in the near future! We have been living and working in Korea since early 2004 both with the military and as defense contractors and we have been blessed with two sweet and funny girls in the meanwhile. Jeff (U. Florida ’99) recently got a reassignment with his company and this coming summer, we are moving to Germany! One other little surprise is that we are expecting our third child, who is due in early March of 2013. Who knew I’d have three children in Korea? Who knew I’d have three children?! Anyhow, hope everyone is well, and I hope to make it back to the D in the near future—maybe this summer before we head to Europe? Maybe, just maybe.”
Speaking of new babies, Betsy Holder Bradley sent the following update. “My husband, Ryan Bradley (Loyola ’03), and I welcomed our third daughter into the world, Virginia Elizabeth Bradley. She was born on May 21, 2012, and joins older sisters Babette and Priscilla (‘Lilly’). We are happily adjusting to life with three very busy and energetic little girls.” Brent Jones is a new proud parent as well! “My wife, Marianne (Hall) Jones, and I had a son in October named Odin Peter Jones. He looks great in Dartmouth green and he cried when his grandpa dressed him in Harvard gear. I finished my internal medicine residency at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland and have started a two-year endocrinology fellowship there. Marianne is back working at her gym in a limited capacity. We also recently had a chance to visit Kate (Szilagyi) MacArthur and Scott MacArthur ’02.” Kathleen Paley also sent word of a new bundle of joy! “My husband, Matt (Berkeley ’02), and I just welcomed a second little guy into our family. Gram Rainer Paley was born on January 16 and so far he’s proven to be a fascinating distraction to big brother Max. I’m outnumbered 3:1 boys to girls and loving it!”
I also heard from Jaime Singley, who writes “I moved to Cleveland, Ohio, in 2003 and after jobs in operational management, marketing and sales, I’m currently a director at a retained executive search firm, ON Search Partners, where I place board members, executives and vice presidents. I recently worked on a project with Dave Neundorfer, as he is president of the company LineStream Technologies. Lindsay (Hirschfeld) Guzowski has been living in Cleveland since 2005 and (like me) decided to marry a Michigan graduate—no small matter in the Buckeye State! Eric Rettberg tries to stop by with his fiancée, Anna, on his road trips from University of Virginia to Chicago and recently Matt Bobb and his wife, Poonam, made the trip out as well. Tom Kaczmarek and his wife, Vanessa, also visited us during their move back to Santa Fe, New Mexico, from New York City with their two beautiful daughters Elaina and Zora. I got engaged to Eugene Shatsman (U Michigan ’06) on November 10, 2012, on a beach in Fort Myers, Florida. Last April we designed and built a house on Lake Erie (Eugene is an avid boater) so we are holding the wedding in our back yard on June 8. Our wedding party will include Dartmouth alums Laura Christman ’02, Charlotte Coultrap-Bagg, Kirtley (Nakarado) Ceballos and Kisa Brannen as well as Tom’s daughter Elaina and Kirtley’s son Roman. Sadly, our dog Vito will not be in attendance because he cannot be trusted around nice clothing and food. We look forward to celebrating with and seeing many of our Dartmouth friends soon!”
