With great sadness, I share that Pete Weyrens passed away on January 31 in Wilmette, Illinois. An accomplished athlete, Pete rowed crew at Dartmouth and was a walk-on to the team (he had never rowed before). After graduating from Dartmouth with a double major in government and English, Pete worked in consulting and earned an M.B.A. from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. He then worked in financial services in New York City, Denver, and Sydney, Australia. Pete loved the outdoors, especially rowing, golf, and biking. If you would like to honor Pete, you may make a donation in his name to The Nature Conservancy or to a charity of your choice that helps the homeless in your community.

I was in touch with several of Pete’s friends and teammates, including Robbie Carey, Nic Chu, Greg Bayard, Bob Blake, and Noah Riner, all of whom were able to attend Pete’s memorial service in February. Together, they shared the following memories of him: “We remember our typical Saturday mornings in Hanover—early morning practice on the river, followed by a trek up the hill from the boathouse for breakfast at Lou’s, and later pong in the Heorot basement. Outside of the weekend rhythm in Hanover, Pete was always making time for travel and adventure, which was perhaps best encapsulated by his move to Australia for two years to continue his work for Bank of America Merrill Lynch out of the Sydney office. In Hanover Pete always made time to serve the community, especially via COVER home repair. His commitment to service was steadfast and included a recent trip to Indianapolis to help facilitate a free health clinic, called Pathways to Health, that served more than 5,000 patients. Pete was consistently generous with his time and resources, was an exceptionally thoughtful friend and community member, and is deeply missed.”

Ali “Kat” Krzton has served on the faculty at Auburn University as the research data management librarian for the last five years. She has earned tenure this year and will be promoted to associate professor in the fall. Kat also shared: “I recently celebrated 20 years together with my absolute favorite person, Bryan Gentry, and we live very happily with two terrible cats that we love to an unreasonable degree.”

Elisabeth “Libby” Sherman was named the senior curator and director of exhibitions and collections at the International Center of Photography (ICP). She joins ICP from the Whitney Museum of American Art, where she curated and co-curated exhibitions for the past 12 years. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband and children Maxine and Julius.

In January I saw Katie (Jaxheimer) Agarwal and Emily (Salas) Crowley.Katie has focused on operations roles at digital health companies and currently is the VP of strategic initiatives at Cedar, which is focused on improving the patient financial experience. She lives in Brooklyn with her family. Emily lives in West Palm Beach, Florida, with her family and is the director of Acquavella Galleries in Palm Beach, Florida.

Sebastian “Seb” Ruiz and his wife, Joanne Rispoli, recently moved from N.Y.C. to Weston, Massachusetts, and welcomed their first child, daughter Julia Michelle Ruiz. Seb works for ACT Commodities, a global renewal energy and environmental products company, as general counsel for the Americas. Joanne is a pediatric neuro-radiologist at Boston Children’s Hospital. Seb is excited to be back in New England and is looking forward to reconnecting with other Dartmouth alums in the Boston area.

In June we will be resuming in-person class day reunions. They will occur on or near June 6 in cities across the United States. Stay tuned for more details via email. Please continue to send in news and updates you may have, and I look forward to hearing from you!
