Class Note 2005
Hello, class of 2005.
I am writing this update as Hurricane Sandy threatens much of the East Coast with wind, water and power outages. I hope everyone stays safe and dry during the upcoming weeks. Please continue to send updates on any exciting news or Dartmouth reunions you may take part in. We have fewer notes than usual this month but I will share with you a few exciting updates.
First of all, congratulations to director Matt Heineman on the theatrical release of his documentary film, Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare, on October 5. Escape Fire was a major success at the Sundance Film Festival as well as at a Dartmouth Medical School preview screening in September. You can read a review of the film online at www.variety.com/review/VE1117946926.
Congratulations are also in order for Andrew Vernstein, who married Wellesley College graduate Lynn Wang on August 11. The ceremony took place at Wellesley College and attendees included Antonio and Sagine Gousse Valla, Neil Desai, Nick Baum, Tommy Dickie, Andrew Dahl, Thom Pasculli, Neel Tiruviluamala,Rob Strong ’04, Marina McClure ’04 and John Bair ’06. We wish you both the best in your future together!
Another Dartmouth wedding took place on September 8 when Austin Brey married Diana Keating in Louisville, Kentucky. Austin wrote, “The weather was perfect, much bourbon was consumed and a good time was had by all.” Dartmouth alumni in attendance included George Wukoson, Carlin Rosengarten, Nick Miles and Chris Bateman.
Thom Pasculli was recently engaged to Stephanie Smith, the mother of their 1-year-old son Leonardo. The wedding is scheduled for May 25 at Thom’s home in New Jersey. Congratulations, Thom, and all the best to your family!
Tricia Shalka wrote to say that she has recently moved to Columbus, Ohio, where she started a Ph.D. in higher education and student affairs at Ohio State University.
Neelesh Tiruviluamala finished his Ph.D. in math at UCLA in May of 2012 and now teaches at the University of Southern California.
Tommy Dickie graduated from Brown University/Trinity Repertory Company in May of 2012 with his M.F.A. in acting. Tommy moved to Los Angeles in August to pursue television and film. According to a very credible source, “He has agents, a manager and very crossed fingers.” Good luck, Tommy!
I hope the rest of you are well. Please send notes to me via e-mail, snail mail, Facebook or a phone call. Hope to hear from you all soon!
All the best.
