Lots of great updates this month that remind me just how single I am. (Seriously, any one know any good doctors/lawyers/paleontologists/anything-I-can-bring-home-to-Mom?) The only thing we had more than weddings were wedding guests, but I have to limit this to the bridal parties since I only get 600 words.
Laura Cherkas and Mike Trapp got married in July at the DOC House on Occom Pond and they danced the “Salty Dog Rag” as their father-daughter/mother-son dance. They then spent two weeks traveling France for their honeymoon. 
Two weddings happened during Labor Day. Carolyn Kylstra married Ryan Meehan in Long Island City with Lisa Moon as a bridesmaid. And Elaine Lee married Shawn Zhou ’06 in Portland, Oregon.
Lyndsey Girod Ramsey married David Ramsey in September. Leslie Shribman and Denise Abeita were bridesmaids in the Oklahoma wedding.
Nick Christman and Mitalee Patil finally got hitched in the Cape. Many ’08s were involved, including Alejandro Frischeisen (officiant), Ashia Sheikh (maid of honor), Taylor Alan-Lee (best man).
Dan Weisman recently became engaged to Dr. Ashley Kochanek. They plan to get married in New Hampshire next summer. Dan is also starting a new job as the director of marketing at Ministry of Supply, a Boston startup that makes performance attire for professionals.
Nora Ward got married this summer to Brian in her childhood church in upstate New York. Nora and Brian enjoyed a wonderful honeymoon exploring Paris.
Jamie Tansey and Josh Green each got married (but not to each other). And Josh Turnbull, Cathy Chang and Neil Willis each got engaged (again, not to each other). Jon Hopper is still single.
Andy Lesser has been working full-time at the Geva Theatre Center in Rochester, New York, and part-time for her aunt’s company, Caring Transitions of Rochester. 
Conor Frantzen got an awesome job in Boulder at Natural Habitat Adventures and will probably have to go to the Galapagos pretty soon.
Richard Denton has begun his master’s program in clinical psychology at Columbia. Outside of his student senate duties and putting on the TEDx conference for Teacher’s College, he can be found with Pat Delgado and Kendrick Li.
Marc Lajoie just published two papers in Science on reassigning the genetic code, which could have implications in virus resistance, safer genetically modified organisms and expanding biological functions. I’m 90 percent sure one of them is about becoming an X-Man.
JeanCarlos Bonilla is managing the mobile communications platform for Starwood and taking advantage of the perks—his recent and upcoming trips include Russia, India, Colombia, Australia, Cambodia and Thailand.
Elliot Dial is currently in Windsor, Connecticut, teaching and coaching at the Loomis Chaffee School.
J.B. Cholnoky is completing a M.A. in American history and coaching rowing at Brown. 
Craig Breslawski is thrilled that Sean Walsh got his pilot’s license; we hope he’ll take Craig and Chris Barth up in the air pretty soon.
From your head agents: We want new Dartmouth College Fund volunteers! Contact Jenny Fisher, Monica Morrison and Alex Sherman.
To conclude, Jon is still single. Till next time!
