Class Note 2004
Issue
Sept - Oct 2019
Lots of happenings in the ’04 class, so let’s dive in….
Ashley Massey Marks married Joshua Grant Marks ’96 at Tappan Hill in Tarrytown, New York, on November 11. Josh is in his 24th year as the College bagpiper and piped the ’04 graduation! Alumni who attended the wedding included Ron Silverman ’69, Josh Graubart ’96, Maggie Chang ’96, Zack Stein ’96, Larisa Layug Sion ’96, Kay Lachica ’96, Ingrid Swanson Moss, Judith Phillips Dolgin, Joanna Lins Van Beek, Julia Reeve, Rebecca Ehrlichman Blume, Erica Finsness, Hillary Bakker Barile, Jen Miller, Sara Cavin, Megan Shute Bullock, Anna Fleder Connelly, Jeremiah Connelly, Margaret Graham, Valerie Silverman Gottlieb, and Zach Gottlieb ’10.
Rachel Lukoff and her husband, Ari Lukoff, welcomed their daughter, Lilah Maribel Lukoff, on April 27! Lauren Wondolowski had her son, Colin Stewart Bajuniemi, on April 20 with husband Matthew Bajuniemi. Adriana Nunez had her son, Oscar Rafael Henry, on April 29 with husband Mark Henry.
Ellie Smith, along with her husband, Eric Wiener, and their daughter, Evie, moved from Washington, D.C., to Ellie’s hometown of Berkeley, California, last year. Ellie kept her job working as a fact checker for The Atlantic magazine (where she has worked since a year after graduation!), and in March Ellie and Eric welcomed a second daughter, named Kate.
Kathy (Birchall) Gardner and Charlie Gardner welcomed the newest member of their family, Henry Jeremiah, in December 2018.
Julie Webb and Laura J. Christman ’02 welcomed a baby girl, Emerson Baker, on April 26. Big brother Brooks is appropriately skeptical, but they’re sure he’ll come around.
On June 14 Lavinia Weizel and her husband, Mark Dantos, welcomed their first child into the world, Zella Ward Dantos. They are all doing well and thrilled with their new arrival!
Nicholas Rule was recently promoted to professor in the psychology department at the University of Toronto.
Yan Somoza was recently awarded a grant from Gilead Pharmaceuticals to develop a methamphetamine treatment program for HIV-positive men in Palm Springs, California. Also, Yan has taken a position at Easy Speech Therapy Center in Palm Desert as clinical director of psychology to grow the department and assess and treat behavioral and developmental disorders, with a special emphasis on the autism spectrum.
Megan (Fontanella) Remmelts has joined the board of advisors at Dartmouth’s Hood Museum of Art. The Hood recently reopened following a major renovation and expansion project.
And so ends my five-year reign as secretary. Thanks for always keeping this column full with updates. I am tossing the baton (laptop?) over to Johanna Thomas, who will serve as the next class secretary for the class of 2004. Please send all future updates in her direction!
