Welcome to our last pre-reunion installment of Class Notes! 


Kristina Eaton wrote in to note that she is completing her obstetrics and gynecology residency at University of California, Irvine, in June and will be moving back home to Anchorage, Alaska.


In addition, Kristina reported that Mitch Ermentrout married Virginia Bishop in Santa Barbara, California, on April 12 with a host of Dartmouth alumni in attendance. Mitch is completing his radiology residency at University of California, Irvine, in June and will be moving to Atlanta to start a fellowship in interventional radiology.


Matt Kemp and his wife, Eleanor (Alexander) Kemp, welcomed their baby daughter Amelia on March 22. According to Matt, “Amelia decided that the last two weeks in the womb weren’t necessary, and all are doing well.” Congratulations to the Kemp family. 


Becky MacDonnell-Yilmaz and her husband, Tay, welcomed their son Zachary Carlton on February 17. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where the couple bought their first home last year, and they are enjoying every minute with him!


At long last Johanna Willer married Rhonda Pacheco in Vero Beach, Florida, on May 3. The couple will return to South Africa, where they live now, and it was wonderful to celebrate their marriage together with Dartmouth ’04s Galia BenArtzi, Lindsay Geimer, Sheila Hicks, Rowan Smith and Susan Edwards. 


Susana Guajardo returned in March from her post with the U.S. State Department in Islamabad, Pakistan. Susana is now managing USAID’s budget for Afghanistan and Pakistan from the comforts of Washington, D.C., and her friends are very grateful to have her back. 


On a personal note, it has been such a pleasure serving as class secretary during the last five years. I have really looked forward to reporting on your life milestones, accomplishments and—perhaps most of all—reunions with each other. Putting the notes together every two months was a wonderful reminder of how special those four years in Hanover were to all of us, and how fortunate we were to be there together.
