Hello, class of 2006! First of all, a rallying cry to send in news, any news, so long as it’s news, so that we can always have a robust column. It makes me feel super stalkery to troll Facebook in search of babies, weddings, more babies, etc. I mean, I guess it’s no different from reading People magazine, but it feels much creepier. 


Speaking of babies, we’ll begin with some of that news. The stork has been active lately! Adam and Kelly (Baker) Wilk welcomed their first child, daughter Evangeline Mara, in August. Rafael and Kate (MacMillan) Lizcano welcomed their second son, Daniel Xavier, in May. Rob Petit and his wife, Sandra, are expecting their first child in January. Congrats! Jen (Peterson) Holland and husband Gardiner welcomed their first child, daughter Lydie, this summer. Congrats, Jen! May she grow up to join Kappa Delta Epsilon. Ethan Rothstein and wife Christina (Kellerman) are also new parents to a little girl, Grace Kellerman Rothstein, born in March in Bangor, Maine. As Christina notes, “She’s strong, feisty and full of smiles!” The family recently moved to Pennsylvania for Ethan’s doctoral internship in clinical psychology at Geisinger Medical Center, the final step in the long road toward his Ph.D. Christina is taking the year off from teaching special ed and will be staying home with Grace. Last but not least, also new to the parenting ranks is Josh Cain, whose wife, Agniezska, gave birth to their son Alex earlier this summer. May all of these new babies be members of the class of 2036.


There has also been love in the air for many of our classmates, as several have recently married! Congratulations are in order for Jonah Kolb, who married Maureen Collins in Oak Park, Illinois, in June. Several generations of Dartmouth friends and family were on hand to celebrate their happy day. Jonah and Maureen split their time between Chicago and rural central Illinois, where Jonah works in farmland asset management and Maureen in public health. Another Chicago-area wedding was that of Alex Middleton, who married Kerry Kimbrough in Chicago during Labor Day Weekend. Reports call it a “classy affair, complete with a party trolley tour around the city and an aging Sigma Epsilon crowd singing ‘Friends in Low Places’ on the dance floor.” To round out the wedding news section we send congratulations to two of our classmates, Julia Baxter and Patty Olszynski, who got married on the same day! On September 13 Julia married Jason Edgar ’05 in Rye, New York, whilst a road trip away, Patty married Greg Hanyen in Southport, Maine. Both weddings were replete with Dartmouth ’06sers ready to rage and celebrate: Julia celebrated with the likes of Meg Spillane, Katie McNabb, Jess Magidson, Kaethe Henning and more, while Patty was surrounded by Katie Wolf, Jordie Enright-Schultz, Kate (Huft) Kelly and others.


Finally, a spot of professional news. After living and working in New York City and D.C., Cindy Tsai has moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to attend business school at UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School. Congrats, and enjoy business school! Our class president, Jeff Wagner, recently earned his Ph.D. in biological engineering from MIT for his work developing genome-editing tools for Plasmodium falciparum (malaria, for us layfolk). Jeff recently started his new job at the Harvard School of Public Health working on tuberculosis vaccine development. Do Ebola next, Jeff!


Not to be outdone, Cameron Hahn recently celebrated his own momentous milestone—his 30th birthday—at his home in Toledo, Ohio. Nothing like turning 30 makes you want to drink. He rang in the big birthday with his loved ones, including his wife (honorary Dartmouth alum) and Dartmouth friends.
