Class Note 2006
Issue
Nov - Dec 2015
Hi, class of 2006! I had the pleasure of being in Hanover recently, which reminded me that our “real” 10-year reunion is coming up. I hope many of you will have the opportunity to visit Hanover before then! Let’s get to the news.
We will begin with some interesting sports news. Ali Crocker, a former member of the Dartmouth cross-country ski team, finished 15th at the sprint finals at the World Orienteering Championships near Inverness, Scotland, in August. Ali’s finish was the highest ever recorded for an American at the World Orienteering Championships. For the uninitiated, orienteering is a race where athletes locate a series of checkpoints marked on a map that they carry. They can go any way they want, but the rules include not going through buildings or going through private property or gardens. The 2016 North American Orienteering Championships will be held on our very own turf, at Dartmouth on September 23-25, with the sprint event being on campus on the 25th. Ali will be favored. Good luck!
Lots of baby news to report. Krista Perry and her wife welcomed twin boys, Miles and Fisher, into the world in May. Through the sleep deprivation and challenges, they are enjoying this new journey and all of the experiences it is bringing. Christine Benally Peranteau and her husband, David, welcomed a daughter, Zoe Elizabeth Benally Peranteau, to the world in June. Zoe weighed in at 7 pounds, 15 ounces, and the family is doing well and plans on introducing their newest American to their homeland in August. Katherine (Lawson) Trier and Henry Trier welcomed their first child to the world, son Liam Christopher Trier, born at 11:41 a.m. on June 17. Liam weighed in at 9 pounds, 4 ounces and is 21 inches long. Just days after Liam was born the Trier family moved into their new home in Dedham, Massachusetts. Congratulations to all of the new parents! And also some news of parents-to-be: Joanna Hunter and her husband,Dan August ’07, are expecting their first child, a daughter, in October. Joanna and Dan both work for the NFL, where Joanna is director of corporate communications and Dan is head of strategic marketing and planning. Congratulations!
The wedding bells continue to chime for our classmates, as Kate Berry married Oliver Grant on June 20 in Locust Valley, New York. Many ’06s were in attendance, including Emily (Salas) Crowley, Kate McManus, Katie (Jaxheimer) Agarwal. Cammie Delany married Pat Pfeiffer on May 16 in Pacific Palisades, California. Dozens of ’06 guests attended and Dan Madigan ’05 officiated the ceremony.
Sarah Buckingham wed Jonathan Miller on September 6 in Kennebunkport, Maine. Among the attendants were Erica Chin, Julianne (Southwell) Malvezzi and Katie (Churchill) Zindars. Sarah recently completed her neurology residency program at Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut, where she served as chief resident during her final year. In July she began a two-year fellowship in movement disorders at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospital in New York City.
Finally, Alex Gelman and his search fund, Poplar Partners, recently made their first acquisition with the purchase of mTab, which is a web-based software-as-a-service platform that helps companies with market research and analytics. Alex recently moved to Los Angeles to run the company. Congratulations, Alex! Look him up if you are in the L.A. area.
