Hello, class of 2009! I’m writing this column at the end of 2020 and thinking about you all heading into the new year. By the time you read this, we’ll be well into 2021, and I hope we have the chance to see each other this year. Just two updates this month.

Carmen Kilpatrick married James Lynch in a spooky micro-wedding in Atlanta on Halloween. The bride wore a black dress and spider earrings. They can’t wait to celebrate with their Dartmouth friends and family in Monterey, California, once it’s safe to do so! And Syam Palakurthy wrote in to share, “I recently achieved my life ambition of getting into Dartmouth Alumni Magazine, in the ‘Sibling Alumni’ photo essay in the March/April 2020 issue. I want to thank my brother, Arun ’02, for existing and having once been in a photo with me, as well as my parents and my wife, Kayla ’09, for believing in me despite an accumulating mountain of evidence to the contrary. Mostly, I want to thank George M. Spencer, former DAM executive editor, for his gutsy decision to include me—he truly is a prince among us paupers.”
