Class Note 2009
Issue
May-June 2023
Hello, ’09s! I hope you’re enjoying the spring and some warmer weather. Here is some news from our classmates. Jillian (Hamma) Chingos, Tim Chingos ’08, and their daughter, Emma, moved from California to London. They love the exciting places (and playgrounds) in the city and are keen on exploring Europe. Daniel Hilsinger wrote in with some news, “I would love to share that I’m releasing my debut album, Everlasting, March 23. Music came out of my experience getting diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare, potentially fatal cancer. I started learning guitar in the hospital and singing in the stairwells. I was always too afraid to try before! If you told me I’d be playing music in front of strangers, let alone write, record, and produce my own album, I’m not sure if I would have believed you! Sending all the love to everyone. We all walk through our own unique challenges in life, and I hope the best for everyone.” Raymond Rodriguez has taken on a new role as the communications director for Rep. Mike Levin (D-Calif.), based in Washington, D.C. In the last year Molly Roy got married. Samantha Kaplan, Elsa Rodriguez, and Miesha Smith were all in the wedding party and lots of other ’09s were in attendance and invited, including Owen Roberts, Jesse Silberberg, Dermott McHugh, Katie Nash, Mandy Lobel, Aulden Kaye, Anna Krigel, Dai Lin. Other Dartmouth alums included Emma Frankel ’12, Ian Engler ’12, Ben Weiner ’10, Dan Yi ’06, John Agan ’05, Alex “Dutchy” Ghesquiere ’99. Molly bought a house in Arlington, Virginia, last fall and is pregnant with her first child, due in August! Lots of milestones in the last year, and she is very happy to get any baby-related hand-me-downs from alums in or passing through the area. Shortly after moving to Harrison, New York, Bret Tenenhaus and Jenna Pfeffer ’12 welcomed their second child into the world in fall 2022.
