Class Note 2006
Issue
May - June 2016
Hi, class of 2006! As you read this column, it will be right around the time that marks the “big 10”—as in 10 official years since our graduation from Dartmouth. It’s truly hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since we have all lived, laughed and imbibed together on the plains of Hanover. It will certainly be fun to spend the next year preparing for and anticipating our 10-year (technically, 11-year) reunion back in Hanover. Until then, please continue sending in your news so that we can all have things to talk about when we get there!
And for those of you lucky enough to visit Hanover before then, send in any reports of nostalgic college memories jogged by the visit, or better yet, any run-ins with classmates also in town. Cindy Tsai had one such visit to report on. In true M.B.A. fashion, Cindy was in Hanover for Tuck Winter Carnival in February with her classmates from business school at UNC Kenan-Flagler. She reports that it was a fun weekend of school spirit, skiing and parties and that she enjoyed staying with Vince Accurso, who is in his second year at Tuck. Cindy said she also spent time with Joe Boswell and Alex Tonelli, both of whom are living and working out of Hanover.
For those of you who want to reconnect with classmates before our official reunion rolls around, keep your eyes trained on the newsletter for information about any upcoming mini-reunions in your area. There are always great events happening and they usually feature at least one (or two!) free drinks.
One such recent mini-reunion was organized by Matthew Schwartz in February at the New Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. In order to make the event happen, Matt had a little help from a friend—Libby Sherman—who just happens to be the museum’s assistant curator. Libby gave a group of more than 20 ’06s a tour that focused on two exhibits she co-curated: Collected by Thea Westreich Wagner and Ethan Wagner and Flatlands. According to Matt, “The tour gave us an amazing behind-the-scenes look at the museum’s new home and current shows.” In addition to organizing the event, Matt also recently started a new job! After nearly three years in content distribution at Viacom, Matt was promoted and accepted a new role as senior counsel at Epix, a premium entertainment network focused on exclusive filmed entertainment. Matt will be providing business and legal affairs support in the Times Square office. Congrats, Matt!
A lot of wedding and baby news to report on. The first wedding to talk about actually happened in Hanover! On December 19, 2015, Brad Heritage married Eliza Bennett ’10 at Rollins Chapel surrounded by a huge crowd of ’06 friends. The wedding was officiated by Dartmouth’s director of religious and spiritual life, the Rev. Nancy Vogele ’85. The reception was held at the Hanover Inn and rumor has it that there may have been a slight after-party celebration at Theta Delt. Among ’06s rediscovering their pong games were Will Pierce, Jamie Coffin, Katie (Wolf) Coffin, Crawford Arnold, Alec Hufnagel, Andrew Mayer, Jared Hyatt, John Huelskamp, Paul Huelskamp, Dan Oberlin, Griffin Gordon, Mike Reiss, Alex Tonelli, Gavin Philips, Andrew Miller, Michael Ribero and many more. Most of the same crowd of ’06s attended Andrew Mayer’s nuptials in Miami a few months later: Andrew married Veronica Mendiola in Miami on February 6 on South Beach in what was once again a huge reunion for the ’06 class. In fact, that crew has been busy attending weddings this year—in September many of the same faces were present to watch an ’06 wedding when Jamie Coffin married Katie (Wolf) Coffin in Vermont.
