Class Note 2005
Hello, ’05s. I hope you are all enjoying the first few months of a new year. Life in Atlanta is fabulous, particularly now that Katy McCarthy is a permanent resident of my hometown! Katy moved to Atlanta at the end of February, giving me the long-awaited opportunity to host Dartmouth and KDE reunions at my house. If any of you care to join us for a tour of the sunny south, you have an open invitation to stay in my guest room.
I am happy to report that we have two more intra-Dartmouth weddings to update you on this month! Kelly (Storer) Thomas married Bryan Thomas on August 21, 2010, in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Bridesmaids included Jennifer Der Yuen, Ashley (Choren) Workman and Jess Thomas ’08 while Neel Shah, Dan Madigan and Tim Katz were three of Bryan’s handsome groomsmen.
Ashley (Choren) Workman married Joe Workman in Beaver Creek, Colorado, on July 24, 2010. Kelly (Storer) Thomas was the maid of honor and Vik Tiku was the best man. The obviously large crowd of Dartmouth alumni in attendance included ’05s Aaron Brown, Patrick White, Ryan Delaney, Derham Cato, Chris Little, Andy Rankin, Brendan Day, Sarah Rhodes, Nicole Valco, Alley Welsh and Lexie (Otto) Morrison. Following the wedding Joe and Ashley moved to Chicago, where Joe started law school at the University of Illinois and Ashley continues to work as an associate at the law firm Seyfarth Shaw.
Congratulations also go out to Caitlin (Bell) Barnett, who married Michael Barnett during Labor Day weekend in the Berkshires, Massachusetts, where she grew up. Caitlin wrote, “We had lots of Dartmouth alums in attendance, including my dad, Robert Bell ’67, and Claire Cage, Elana Bannerman, Haley Peckett and Lindsey Beck, who were all bridesmaids.” Michael is now working at a law firm in New York and Caitlin is camping out in Brooklyn coffee shops while finishing the manuscript of her first book.
Nick Chukiat recently got engaged to Candy Singhakowin ’06 at the Banyan Tree Hotel in Bintan, Indonesia. We wish you both a wonderful wedding and a lifetime of happiness!
Morgan Brown wrote to say that he is currently studying for his M.B.A. at the University of Texas at McCombs School of Business and will be working at Boston Consulting Group in Dallas for the summer. His lovely wife Becka (Duvall) Brown completed her culinary arts program at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City last fall and is now interning for the Wine and Food Foundation of Texas. Morgan says, “We’re both loving Austin and are happy to host anyone looking for nice weather, live music or good ole Texas BBQ.”
Meg Thering recently moved cross-country from Los Angeles to New York City, where she took a job in the employment litigation group at Epstein, Becker and Green. Sue AnderBois is also relocating from San Francisco to New Haven, Connecticut, where she has been accepted into the Yale School of Management class of 2013. Congratulations to both of you and good luck with your moves!
In other recent news Kate Strayer-Benton recently realized her dream to be an intercollegiate athlete as she defeated other business schools in an alpine ski race wearing full hockey goalie gear at this year’s Tuck School of Business Winter Carnival. Katie (Sullan) Van Abel graduated from Jefferson Medical School and, according to classmate Caitlin (Sherry) Yacey, is “happily freezing her butt off in Rochester, Minnesota, for her residency to become an ear, nose and throat doctor.”
Thanks to everyone who has sent in news this year. Keep the updates coming!
