Class Note 2004
Issue
Jul - Aug 2016
I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to summer. Here are some updates from the class of 2004.
Meghan Fitzgerald married James Huggins ’06 in Hanover at the DOC House. Many Dartmouth folks were in attendance, including Andy Foery, Khalil Ayvar, Oliver Caplan and many more from other classes. Meghan is currently working as a digital archivist at HBO and a freelance writer and game designer for Onyx Path Publishing.
Carly O’Connell Abrahamson and her husband, Erik, welcomed their daughter, Perry Helen, in February and are adjusting to life as a family of three in Denver. Chris Amery and his wife, Lindsey, welcomed their second child, Tanner Lewis Amery, to the world in March. Elisheva Hirschman and her husband, Steve Finston, welcomed their second child, Danielle Emersen Finston, in February; the family lives on the Upper West Side, and Elisheva is an employment litigator at DLA Piper. Caz Liske and his wife, Polina, welcomed Oliver Benjamin to the world in December. Sean Furey and Matthan Chatterton-Richmond ’06 welcomed a son into the Big Green family in April. Clare Gupta and her husband, Drew Myers, Tu’14, welcomed Theo in July. His best bud is Delaney Rose Nichol, the daughter of Laura (Delaney) and Mark Nichol, who also lives in San Francisco. Becky MacDonell-Yilmaz and her husband, Tay Yilmaz, welcomed their second son, Luke Warren Yilmaz, in March. Jamie Jones and Adam Ogusky had a baby girl, Juniper, in February. James Lamb and his wife, Brianne, welcomed their second child in September 2015, a healthy, beautiful boy sharing James’ name and birthday!
Steph (Feldman) Annear and her husband, Chris, along with sons Gannon and Soren, are off to Vietnam this fall, leading college students on a study abroad semester in Hanoi! Reach out to Steph if you’ll be in Southeast Asia in late 2016 or have any connections in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City!
In March Caryn Karo reunited with Gillian Morshedi, Rachel (Ringel) Lukoff, Kacie (Meager) Winterberg and Lauren Wondolowski in San Diego. Through the years they’ve gathered for adventures and celebrations in Memphis, Tennessee, Denver, Cancun, Seattle, Baltimore and, of course, Hanover. They always have an amazing time catching up, exploring and drinking wine from boxes.
Alex Friedman and Jordan Kier ’08 cofounded Lola in 2014. The company was recently featured in The New York Times. Alex is thrilled to be a part of the growing mainstream conversation around women’s health and hygiene!
Jennifer Krichels coauthored the book New Aging with architect Matthias Hollwich. She also edited The Future of Architecture in 100 Buildings with author Marc Kushner. In personal news, Jennifer is marrying Matthew Johnson (Georgetown ’03) in Brooklyn this June!
Rebecca (Aledort) Ryan and her husband, Dan, recently celebrated their second wedding anniversary. Their daughter, Natalie, was born in September 2015. Rebecca is currently working as an attorney at the Social Security Administration. The family is hoping to head up to Hanover this summer to pick up a few Dartmouth onesies for Natalie.
Oliver Caplan was recently commissioned to compose a new chamber work, Krummholz Variations, by a consortium of 13 ensembles.
Joanna Giordano works in human resources at HBO in New York City. She is a farm-share member and newly minted bike commuter. She is that kind of New Yorker now!
And finally, it is with a heavy heart that I write of the premature passing of two members of our class. John Palmiero passed away on January 16. We also lost Mike Turner on April 20 to cancer. Please visit the online version of Dartmouth Alumni Magazine to view obituaries and leave words or memories in tribute.
