Class Note 2004
Hello, ’04s! I hope this column finds you all well. My apologies for the missing column in the last magazine. I hope that the thorough and exciting updates below make up for the oversight. Janos Marton is working as special counsel to New York’s Moreland Commission to Investigate Public Corruption. Karim Nehdi wrote in to report that his wife, Liz Perman ’05, recently graduated with distinction with a master’s of arts in textile design from the University of the Arts London, and as her final project transformed their old Citroën 2CV with her crazy print designs. Liz is now starting an accessories line and doing bespoke commissions out of London. Talene Monahon ’13 (performer/creator) and Marina McClure (director) brought student issues to life at the prestigious United Solo Festival in New York City on October 7 and 25 with their one-woman show, All in Good Fun. The show opened at the Hopkins Center for Performing Arts in May and Talene and Marina returned to Dartmouth this fall to perform two more shows. Several more universities and high schools are also expressing interest in bringing the show and its important messages to their students. You can visit the show’s website at www.allingoodfun.net. Fred Carleton and Regina Won were married on campus on August 24 (ceremony at Rollins Chapel with reception at the DOC House). There were many Dartmouth alums in attendance, including father of the groom, Richard Carleton ’71, and bridesmaids Tomoko Ogura (maid of honor), Amanda (Morganroth) Sherman, Adriana Nunez, Morna Ha and groomsmen George Lee (best man), Stephen Kim and Josh McPherson. Regina reported that the wedding was a blast. The couple lives in Brooklyn, New York. Regina is an attorney at Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP and Fred is a teacher at Fusion Academy. Rob Daley wrote: “My wife, Jessica Oliff, and I were married at the Rittenhouse Hotel in Philly [Pennsylvania] on May 4. The wedding was attended by many ’03s, ’04s, ’05s and a few ’06s (about 35 alums in total). Dartmouth ’04s included Aaron Gillespie, Jesse Nisselson, Simon Weber, Jeff Coots, Andi Salas, Remy Wildrick, Steph Owen, Lindsay Hirsch, Damien Quinn, Matt Labarre, Kyle Smith, Geoff Vitt, Dave Hodapp, Jack Downey, Mike Curley, Jay Barnard, Phil Peisch, Greta Milligan and Matt Stevenson. A good ole Dartmouth time had by all.” Rob also graduated from Columbia Business School in May. Congrats! Susan Edwards married Chris Wilson (UVA ’05) September 29, 2013, in Washington, D.C. A number of Dartmouth alumni attended, including Lindsay Geimer Carroll, Adrienne Draper Olson, Stephanie Owen, Danielle Polebaum, Ben Wade, Johanna Willer and Jessica Magidson ’06. I also wanted to bring everyone’s attention to Fashion Girls for Humanity, a great project started by Tomoko Ogura in the wake of the Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami disaster. With the interest in raising funds and bringing awareness to the relief and rebuilding efforts for the affected areas in the northeastern regions of Japan, fundraising events such as designer sales have been organized in N.Y.C. with support from designers and the fashion community. Thus far Fashion Girls for Humanity has partnered with Japan Society’s Japan Earthquake Relief Fund as well as Toyo Ito’s KISYN in Japan who have been effectively supporting the communities and children in northeastern Japan. Since its inception, Fashion Girls for Humanity has evolved its mission to bring humanitarian services and funds to communities in need, including in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, through its global network of fashion and design industry professionals. —Jess Leinwand, 1440 S St., NW, Apt. 2, Washington, DC 20009; jess.leinwand@gmail.com
