Happy New Year, ’09s! Lots of updates to share from our classmates. Art Baron ’07 and Liz (Ellison) Baron welcomed a baby boy, Chester Shea Baron, on September 7. He joins big brother Calvin, who is his No. 1 fan. Floyd Buen and his wife, Kirsten, welcomed their beautiful baby daughter, Adelene, in October. Floyd and his family are enjoying parenthood while living in Irvine, California. Johannes Lehman has joined Pollination Group, a global climate and nature advisory and investment firm, as executive director in London. Daniel Leung wrote, “After more than a decade since graduation I have cleared my teaching credential, a goal I have had since graduating from Dartmouth. In August 2022 I won the award for best exemplifying the value of feedback from Caliber Public Schools and have been entering students to compete in Science Olympiad, MathCounts, and the California State Scholastic Chess Championship. I am excited for the next part of my career as I embark on my journey to become an osteopathic physician. I have finally received my first acceptance back into an osteopathic medical school (in Kentucky) after dropping out of Touro University California’s program. My mom and I were so happy to get the news from the dean at Kentucky. I also want to thank my dad for teaching me to persevere. My dad passed away from an atypical presentation of severe gallstone-induced pancreatitis on Christmas Eve 2018. The best doctors in the North Bay Area met to discuss his case at a meeting. I saw the best that medicine has to offer, but still he couldn’t be saved. I have learned to trust in God through all of these hardships and that God has the right timing and reason for what happens. I feel truly blessed.” Aaron Sims saw Samuel Kohn at a meeting at the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on October 18. They laughed and said they should report this to the alumni magazine, so here they are. Emily Trentacoste and her husband, Clayton Cope, welcomed their first child, Avi Kai Trentacope, on October 8, 2022. All are doing well and can’t wait to introduce baby boy to Hanover! Taylor (Dryman) Wilmer welcomed her second child, daughter Averett (“Avery”), in September. She, husband Harry, and new big brother Wyatt are over the moon! After her maternity leave Taylor will return to her new position as director of therapy at InStride Health, a company that provides virtual mental health services for children, adolescents, and their families. She would love to connect with other ’09s in the D.C. area! Kaite Yang and Dan O’Brien are very excited to announce the birth of their daughter, Lilia Yang O’Brien. She was born on September 29, 2022, at Pennsylvania Hospital, the country’s first hospital, and weighed 7 pounds, 8 ounces. They are so excited for her to explore and roam ’round the girdled earth!
