As the leaves are changing in Hanover, our classmates have updates from all over the country and across the world.

In June Anne (Megargel) Arnold moved back to Annapolis, Maryland. She will be teaching fourth grade at an elementary school a quarter mile from her house and hopefully doing lots of sailing this school year. On July 15 she married her boyfriend of four years, Matthew Arnold. He is from that area and they did the ceremony right on the water in Annapolis. Their first dance was not a Kenny song but the band did learn one for the reception. She wrote, “It was the most amazing day I ever could have imagined, in no small part due to the presence of so many Dartmouth friends and teammates.”

Ryan Church graduated from his dermatology residency this summer and accepted a position as staff dermatologist with Kaiser Permanente in L.A., where he began in September. Brittany Crosby recently moved to Austin, Texas, for a new job at a chat-bot startup. If anyone is passing through Texas (or needs a place to crash during South by Southwest or Austin City Limits), her guest room is available! Amy Davis was married on May 6 to Oliver Roberts in Borough Market in London. In attendance were Kathleen Carmody and Shelley Miles Spillers. Katie Dutko is working as the education program manager for CRS in Pakistan, based remotely in Nairobi for as long as her work visas remain in limbo. If you are in Kenya in the coming months, give her a holler! Ibrahim Elshamy is leaving Palo Alto, California, and moving to San Diego because his wife, Nawal Siddiqui, is starting medical school at University of California, San Diego. He is continuing to serve as counsel to startups and venture capitalists with his same law firm Gunderson Dettmer in its southern California office and then popping up to Silicon Valley every month for a few days. Alex Guyton and his wife, Helen, welcomed their first child, Louis Pierce Guyton, into their family on August 17. Both Helen and Louie are healthy and happy. Johanna Hauer is living in Hartford, Connecticut, and is in medical school at the University of Connecticut. She would love to reconnect with any ’09s in the area! This fall Tom Kern will be working as a visiting assistant professor in mathematics at the State University of New York, Oswego. Dylan Kane shared that he “got a permanent job as a helicopter rappeller with the U.S. Forest Service in Prineville, Oregon. We’re trying to boost our social media presence, follow us on Instagram @centraloregonrappellers!” Johannes Lohmann graduated from the Harvard Kennedy School in May and joined the Behavioral Insights Team, a British unit that offers advisory services at the intersection of psychology and economics to governmental clients. He’ll be working in its New York office and hopes to catch up with some ’09s. During Labor Day weekend Nate Mazonson married Carolyn McVeigh, the sister of Brendan McVeigh ’10. On the professional front, he cofounded a vertical farming company in San Francisco called Plenty. They are looking for talented Dartmouth engineers, computer scientists, plant scientists and business strategists to join their team! Asafu Suzuki recently started a new job as an associate at the Columbus, Ohio, office of a Cleveland-based immigration law firm.
