Class Note 2004
Hey, ’04s, hope you are having a wonderful fall. I wanted to thank you all for taking the time to join our Facebook page—it’s a great way to stay up to speed on class news and reconnect! On to the updates.
Liz Leonard has launched Blue Bridge Project, a new type of teen travel summer program that emphasizes cooperation with local nonprofit organizations and self-reflection by student participants. The program’s first five trips will set off to Madagascar, Nicaragua and Peru this summer. The Dartmouth did a fantastic profile of the project in October—check out the story at http://thedartmouth.com/2012/10/15/news/bluebridge.
Elliot Oshansky wrote in with the following: “I got married to Eliza Zipper on September 2 at Beach Club Estate in Lake Ronkonkoma, New York. We had beautiful weather for our ceremony overlooking the lake. Eric Peterson and Boulat Bash ’01 were groomsmen and Allison Giordano was a bridesmaid. We were also delighted to share our special day with Alison (Schmauch) Somin, Elise Dunphe, Jorge Montalvo ’02, John Piermont ’03 (Eliza’s cousin), Jesse Roisin ’05, Gail Sweeney ’03 and Elizabeth Terry ’07. Eliza and I are living in Hauppauge, New York, where she works as advocacy and critical issues coordinator for Girl Scouts of Nassau County and I am writing for the Jewish Daily Forward, among other publications, as I continue working toward my M.B.A. at Fordham University’s Graduate School of Business Administration, where I expect to graduate next December.”
Claire Superfine completed a federal district court clerkship in Massachusetts and will begin work as a litigation associate at WilmerHale LLP. Claire visited us in D.C. for a mini-reunion with Phil Peisch, Greta Milligan, Sam Stein and Ryan Abraham. We miss you, Claire!
Elisheva Hirshman published an article in the New York Law Journal examining how the Supreme Court will decide the scope of supervisor liability in sexual harassment cases. Elisheva is an employment law associate at Kasowitz Benson Torres & Friedman LLP.
Catherine Buck married Chau Le on Sept 8, 2012, in Union, Washington. The couple met while working together at Microsoft in Toronto. She writes: “We moved from Toronto back to Seattle, my hometown, in October 2011. In attendance were Chris Plehal, Tate LeFevre, Tin Ha-Ngoc, Lisa (Schmidt) Ha-Ngoc, Rachel (Bender) Ignacio, Liz (Fahrenbach) Ethington and Jason Ethington. The group broke out into the Dartmouth alma mater during the reception.” Catherine also reported that Liz and Jason welcomed their daughter Elinor into the world four months ago and that Rachel and Dave had a baby (Nora) just more than six months ago. Congratulations to all!
Tyler Davis married Kim Fitzpatrick at Beaulieu Gardens in Napa Valley, California. There were many ’04s in attendance. The couple lives in San Francisco.
Tommy Daniels married Molly Pierce ’06 in Boothbay, Maine, this summer. Tommy reported that there was nice contingent of Dartmouth folks in attendance from both the ’04 and ’06 classes. Tommy and Molly live on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
Finally, I noticed on Facebook that a pair of gorgeous Elizabeth Cole earrings were featured in Self magazine in late October. Congrats to Steph Owen!
