Class Note 2005
Hi, friends. This is the last column of Class Notes before our 10-year reunion, which (in case you haven’t read your mail lately) will take place in Hanover from June 13 to 15. I hope everyone is looking forward to a weekend catching up and celebrating the class of 2005! I know there will be many more news updates after the class is together in June, but here are a few exciting tidbits from classmates around the country.
Andrew Verstein recently joined Wake Forest University as assistant professor of law. Shortly after, on October 7, 2013, Andrew and his wife, Lynn Wang, welcomed daughter Rye W. Verstein into the world. Congratulations to all of you!
Another ’05 baby was born to Eric Rubin-Smith and his wife, Elina. Baby Eden Ariella joined the family in November 2013 and, according to dad Eric, “She is awful cute!”
Classmates Tim Sullivan and Kim Rosensteel are getting married on July 19 at the Woodstock (Vermont) Inn. According to a close friend, “Tim and Kim first met in Sienna, Italy, during their sophomore spring on a language study abroad. Their love grew over sophomore summer and throughout the rest of college, sharing numerous formals, meals at Collis and pong games together. Tim recently proposed to Kim on the shore of the Connecticut River in Hanover.” They plan on living as newlyweds in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where Tim will start his career as a glaucoma specialist and Kim will continue work as a lawyer. Congratulations to both of you and best wishes for a wonderful wedding!
Paul Pope wrote, “I’ll be moving to New York City (from Nashville, Tennessee) in August to start a master’s program at Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs.”
Classmate Dan Knecht is currently finishing an internal medicine residency at Mount Sinai and will join a health care consulting firm, Huron Consulting, this summer.
Danielle Grundy, a former member of Dartmouth women’s hockey, was hired as the female hockey development coach for Kelowna Minor hockey in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Danielle also recently received an award from Century 21 Realty as a high producer in her rookie year as a realtor in Kelowna. Congratulations, Danielle!
Elisabeth (Kreter) McKibben, husband Max and daughter Cordelia welcomed another baby girl, Daphne Grace, to their family on November 27, 2013. Elisabeth wrote, “We are still located in Durham, North Carolina, and welcome any Big Green visitors!”
Tommy Dickie booked another bit part on TV in Los Angeles. He has a line as a lab manager on the show Extant, starring Halle Berry and co-produced by Stephen Spielberg, coming to CBS in summer. Look for Tommy in the fourth episode!
Thanks to everyone for sharing your news. Have a fantastic spring!
