Class Note 2006
Issue
May - Jun 2019
Hi, ’06s.
Thanks to those who wrote in for this issue. It was great to hear from everyone!
Amanda Prentice has been busy catching up with ’06 friends. She recently saw Sara (Friesen) Press and Cindy (Cao) Hustveit after they both had their first children, both boys and both born in October. Amanda, Sara, and Cindy all live in New York City. Amanda also caught up with Willa Rose Johnson, a.k.a. “Pastor Willa,” who is now the sole pastor of the Greenwood Baptist Church in Brooklyn, New York. Willa started a group called ERA 2020, which stands for End Rape Altogether, and hosted an event to defend Title IX. Many of Willa’s parishioners were in attendance in support of her work, at her church and in the community, to advance social justice initiatives.
Matt Slaine sold his North Carolina-based media and marketing business to a large media conglomerate in November. He took the holidays off and is now searching for a good business to buy or start and would welcome any leads from the Dartmouth network! Matt’s daughter turned 2 years old in January, and he and his wife are having a great time with her and their dog Max.
Michael Mina was recently hired as an assistant professor in the department of epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics and the department of pathology at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. His lab focuses on the intersection between immunology, infectious diseases, vaccines, and epidemics.
In December Lindsay Barnes and Kilsy (Torres) Barnes welcomed their second child, Charlotte, who is little sister to 3-year-old Theodore. The family lives in Arlington, Virginia. Diana Bradford and her husband, Drew, welcomed their first child, Ada, at the end of January.
Bill Quirk played piano for the 2019 Oscar party hosted by the Rhode Island International Film Festival in Providence, Rhode Island, in February. Bill has been playing piano for decades and is a bit of a local celebrity, even making it into many local news stories and events. Bill is well known to play a Dartmouth song, both old and new, whenever he can.
I look forward to keeping in touch. To keep up with class news, you can follow us on social media on Instagram (@dartmouth06) and join our Facebook group (Dartmouth Class of 2006). As always, the Class Notes with photos are available on our class website at 2006.dartmouth.org/classnotes.
