Susan Napier writes, “My husband, Alex Berger ’02, and I welcomed our first child, Grace, in April of 2014. Even though we didn’t make it to reunion we have been able to celebrate with a number of ’04s via weddings. Ellie Smith married Eric Wiener (Bowdoin College ’02) in Tahoe, California, in June. We attended with a number of classmates—Meghan Carr Horrigan, Rachel Ringel, Carly O’Connell and Adriana Nunez to name a few. The wedding was outdoors at Ellie’s parents’ house and was an amazing affair. A wild bear even made an appearance at the reception! In November we celebrated the nuptials of Rachel Ringel to Ari Lukoff in Baltimore. The wedding was another mini-reunion with Gillian Morshedi, Caryn Karo, Lauren Wondolowski, Kacie Meager, Ellie Smith, Meghan Horrigan and Lindsey Pryor ’05 on a beautiful Saturday evening.”


Tsering Kheyap writes, “I got married on November 15 to Benjamin Cornell (Cornell ’01). My new brother-in-law, Russel Cornell, is a Dartmouth class of 1997 and Tuck class of 2004. We were married in Portland, Oregon, in a traditional Tibetan ceremony at the Tibetan Community Center in northeast Portland, followed by a vow exchange at the Melody Ballroom in southeast Portland. We just returned from our honeymoon in Hawaii and Australia, where we visited Honolulu, Sydney and Melbourne. We live in Olympia, Washington, where I’m an assistant attorney general for the Washington State attorney general’s office and Ben is a software engineer for the University of Washington.”
