Class Note 2006

Hi, ’06s. I hope you all had a fun summer. Thanks to everyone who wrote in for this column—it was great to hear from you. Be sure to check out the Class Notes online at 2006.dartmouth.org/classnotes, where you can also catch up on articles about classmates mentioned in the news.

Brian Martin and his wife, Katie, celebrated the arrival of Jeffrey William Martin in April. Jeffrey is a happy boy who looks great in a Dartmouth onesie and is a delight to his mom and dad. Brian and his family have lived in Washington, D.C., for three years. He continues to serve as an attorney at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s office of enforcement and was made a senior litigation counsel earlier this year.

Katherine Trier and her husband, Henry, welcomed their third boy, Owen Thomas Trier, who was almost a July 4th baby and arrived at 10:28 p.m. on July 3. Owen was welcomed home by big brothers Liam (4) and Dylan (2).

This summer my travels took me to New England, where I visited Billy Quirk and his family for an annual trip to their hometown of Westerly, Rhode Island. The Quirks are always gracious hosts, and we enjoyed time at the beach, in the ocean, on bikes, and listening to Billy play piano. I also stayed with Ryan Fuselier and his wife, Lara, in their palatial house in Stamford, Connecticut. Ryan, a talented cook, made us all dinner and we reminisced about college days and spent time with their puppy, Lolo.

Back in Chicago I caught up with Mike Stroup and Julie Fogarty and her husband, Lant, over dinner. It’s been great to see everyone and keep in touch during a busy summer.

Wishing everyone a happy fall. For those in the Northeast, hope to see you at the Dartmouth vs. Princeton football game at Yankee Stadium in November. I look forward to hearing from you all soon!
