Class Note 2008
Issue
January-February 2021
Dearest classmates, I hope this column finds you well.
Per my earlier email, please see some updates from our fellow ’08s below.
The year 2020 was a big one for Elizabeth Sherman and Josh Wexler (for more than the obvious reasons). They welcomed their son, Remy, in February and, together with big sis Izzy, the whole family moved from Brooklyn to Kansas City, Missouri, in June. They’re working virtually in the same jobs for now while renovating an old home and exploring what’s next in this new chapter.
In the home renovation realm, Zach and Lindsay Deane-Mayer are wrapping up construction on their new home in Cohasset, Massachusetts. They’re looking forward to moving in and hosting Dartmouth friends for visits when it’s safe to do so!
Khadijah Enoh has started medical school in the midst of a global pandemic. She writes in to say: “Pray for me.” Yes, indeed.
Jason Blydell moved back to San Diego to kick off 2020 and recently welcomed twin girls, Hazel and Meadow, into his family, joining their almost 2-year-old big brother, Camden. Jason joined the San Diego-based defense tech startup Shield AI in November.
Krystal Elkins got married on July 25 in Asheville, North Carolina! Her Dartmouth roommate Amy (Cobb) Laurita was able to attend. Congrats, Krystal!
Watson Sallay is still living and working in south Seattle, albeit now from home. He writes in to say that his 3-year-old son, Edison, is wonderful and now has learned to say goodbye whenever Watson goes into the basement (even for just a minute), because it’s functionally the same as walking out the door to go to work. Watson has been riding bikes a lot and is off social media (permanently) and the news (temporarily).
“I’ve also managed to get through seasons one and two of the board game Pandemic Legacy entirely through Zooming with friends, which I think is enough to qualify me as an expert in dealing with Covid-19,” he says. “Seriously, guys, build more research stations so you can move around the world easier. How hard is this to figure out?!”
Someone get that man on the phone stat.
