Hi, ’10s! Hope you’re all staying warm this winter. A lot of updates to share with you from our classmates. (Keep them coming!) To start, Kerry O’Brien and George Panos ’09 got engaged—nine years after meeting on the first day of Kerry’s DOC trip. Their wedding will be in New York City in June. Lily Eom, Rukayat Ariganjoye, Nadia Leung and Isabel Curatolo will be joining the wedding party.

Caitlin Johnson reports that she got engaged to Adam Studdard on Christmas Day. She writes, “We met in a sailboat—we were taking classes at Community Boating in Boston and the wind stopped blowing, so we were stuck in a boat for two hours together. He proposed in our pajamas in front of my whole family on Christmas morning and it was absolutely perfect.”

Alice Mai is doing her second year of residency in internal medicine in Vancouver, Canada. She and Robert Hidgon are getting married this May in nearby Victoria. Robert started working at a startup in Vancouver last year and Alice completed her first triathlon a few months ago. Congrats!

On the topic of athletic endeavors, Ted Lesher climbed the tallest mountain in Mexico (Pico de Orizaba) at the end of October! Ted is in the midst of applying for business school. Abbe Sokol told me that she and Greg Sokol ran into Eli Mitchell and her dad, Bill Mitchell ’79, in Park City, Utah, in December. This was just after their first few days skiing with James Cart and eating with Mark Davenport, Julie Carson, Ben Peters and Kate Bowman. Small world!

After graduating from Harvard Medical School last June Tomi Jun moved to Palo Alto, California, to start residency in internal medicine at Stanford. David Armstrong will be enrolling at Harvard Business School as a member of the class of 2018. For the first half of 2016 he’ll be splitting time between New York and Frankfurt, so look him up if you’re around!

Conor Grogan got engaged to Jaclyn Gundermann in late June. They were introduced by Megan Rosen five years ago at a rap concert. Conor traveled to Seoul, Korea, in November along with Ben Ludlow ’12, Luke Lee ’12, Esop Baek ’13, Jon Katz ’12 and Sean Schultz ’12 to watch Kevin Oh ’12 win Superstar K7, a Korean idol singing show. Conor writes, “After making fools of ourselves on TV we rented out a coffee shop and taught the other Superstar contestants how to play Dartmouth pong.”

Thea Sutton: “I recently returned to San Francisco after completing the 10-week startup institute in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, sponsored by the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network. I learned a lot and am now looking for a health-related project management, implementation or consulting job while simultaneously trying to launch a mobile access electronic medical record company. To find out more about the institute or if you have a job lead that may get me into the field, shoot me an email or a message on LinkedIn!”

And by the time this edition comes out, I’ll be living in Florence, Italy, for a few months on a sourcing trip for my leather goods brand Linjer. Drop me a line if you’re in the area!
