Class Note 2006
Hi, fellow ’06ers, and greetings from Palo Alto, California. First of all, I want to sincerely apologize for being so inconsistent with the columns. I take full responsibility and am committed to making sure that a column appears in each magazine going forward, even if I have to fill it with the Hanover weather report. So, let’s begin!
A lot of marriage news to report, so we’ll begin there. Abigail Mariano got married in Norwell, Massachusetts, in the presence of classmates Alyssa Caballero, Janelle Morelein, Matt Fujisawa and several others. Abigail and her husband, Jon, recently moved to N.Y.C., where Abigail works as a vet at the Animal Medical Center in Manhattan. Incidentally, we have a second newly minted vet in our class: Julia Drury is set to graduate in the spring from Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. But back to wedding news, where I’m happy to report that we had an ’06 wedding. Michael Ribero and Annie Leibovitz married in Vail, Colorado, surrounded by most of the ’06 men’s football and women’s lacrosse team members. Dr. Karilyn (Abrahamsen) Bonney got married to James Bonney in Maine, where they were joined by fellow Dartmouth alums Dr. Jennifer (Miranda) Domagalski and Maggie Rice. Krista Perry is also recently married—she and her partner, Jen Compton, tied the knot in their legal ceremony in Boston and then brought the real party to Idaho. Krista also helpfully reported that her Facebook scrolling uncovered news of another wedding: Jeff Grossman and Grace Yang have also tied the knot.
According to my own Facebook scrolling, Rob Rose is also recently married and back living in New England with his wife, Katie; Rob is a member of the faculty at the Stratton Mountain School in Stratton, Vermont. Adam Slutsky will soon be living the married life—he recently got engaged to Danielle Frisselle. Congratulations to all of you who are building families! On that note, this column would hardly be complete without talking about our “class babies”—Kingston Ouellette, son of Meredith Cashman Ouelette and Mike Ouellette, Leo Bramante, son of Anthony Bramante and Dr. Carolyn Treacy Bramante, and Keith Masters, son of Lindsay (Hare) Masters and Kyle Masters, are sure to be the next generation of Dartmouth men.
In exciting career moves we have a lot to tell. Bridgette Hylton is one of several classmates pursuing an entrepreneurial path. She has started an online venture called ShopRagHouse, a fashion community that allows members to submit their own designs and have them voted on by other members for a chance to have their designs produced and sold on the site for a share of the profits. Talented class of 2006ers who used to spend hours in the jewelry studio, that one’s for you! Also moving and shaking is Megan Hamilton, who joined the San Francisco office of Carroll, Burdick & McDonough, where she will specialize in mass torts and environmental litigation, as an associate. She joins a huge and growing crew of ’06ers in the Bay Area, including Cary Telander Fortin, who recently launched her own career as an executive and life coach at the Live Well Space. Look her up! Also enhancing lives is Sophia Khan, who combined forces with award-winning pediatrician Dr. Ellen Bass to create a cookbook to help busy students create fast and delicious meals with Mediterranean flair. The book, Students Go Gourmet: Simple Gourmet for Everyday, is out now. Last but not least, our very own class TV personality, John Schriffen of ABC News, was chosen to play on the celebrity all-star team at the NBA All-Star game in Houston in February. John got to rub shoulders with Usain Bolt, Russell Westbrook, Common, Queen Latifah and a bunch of people who are way cooler than the rest of us. Way to go, John!
