Hi, ’04s! Happy spring! Here’s hoping the sun is shining and the flowers are blooming wherever you may be these days. It’s hard to believe that our 20th reunion is only a few months away. Time truly does fly. I look forward to reconnecting with many of you soon! It will be great to reminisce and grab breakfast at Lou’s while also seeing what has changed at Dartmouth since our graduation.

And as we gear up for reunion, it is important to take some time to reflect on the classmates who unfortunately will not be making the trek to Hanover this summer as they have left us too soon. One of those classmates is Alexander D. Talcott, who unexpectedly passed away on August 26, 2023. At the time of his death, Alex was living in Durham, New Hampshire, and was working as the general counsel at the real estate firm New Constellation Capital. He also served as an adjunct professor at the University of New Hampshire Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics. During his time at the university Alex taught corporate finance and business law. In addition to attending Dartmouth, Alex was a graduate of the University of Notre Dame Law School. While at Dartmouth Alex was a member of Alpha Chi Alpha, among other organizations, and volunteered with the Dartmouth admissions office upon graduation. Alex is survived by his loving family, including his parents, wife, and three children.

Please be safe and well, ’04s, and I look forward to chatting more in the months to come!
