I hope you’re enjoying the summer! On to the news: John Beck wrote to share that in April he marked a decade of living in Beijing, a length of time that would have seemed an impossibility when he moved there in 2013 to join a small education consulting company that has grown to be an industry leader in China. His highlights from the last 10 years include getting an E.M.B.A. from Booth and making it back to the United States for five different Dartmouth weddings and a Cords reunion. He shared his most recent joy was leaving China for the first time in three years as its zero-Covid policy ended. He finally made it to meet Ray Padgett’s family for the first time, and it was great to catch up with James Novakowski and Ed Kim, too. China’s open again—drop him a line if you’re passing through! Brian Flood married the wonderful Ramya Possett in a small ceremony in Washington, D.C., accompanied by their families and their dog Zoey serving as flower girl. They couldn’t be happier! Elise (Hogan) Goldberg added another baby to their family this March. Luke James Goldberg joined big sister Jane. They are living in the East Bay and would love to hear from other alums with toddlers in the area! Mark Harris is moving out of New York City and will be living in Las Vegas for at least the next year while his partner finishes residency. Jenna Newgard had her second child, a boy, in April. Rilo Abbott joined daughter Roxy Abbott. Ray Padgett’slatest music-nerd book Pledging My Time: Conversations with Bob Dylan Band Members will be out in July.
