Anna Nearburg writes: “I am living in San Francisco and running an art gallery out of my apartment (shared with Jamie Connolly) called Some Time Salon. I would love to have alums by for a glass of wine anytime! I also make jewelry under the moniker Stone Everett and am working on building my first full collection of rings, necklaces and bolo ties. I hand-make each piece in my studio in the Mission and am taking commissions.”
Lucretia Witte is also living in San Francisco, working as the executive director of expeditionary learning at Summit Public Schools. She loved getting back to Hanover for Camp Granite last year and visiting again this summer for a few days after being a bridesmaid in Paula Sen and Chris Root’s Maine wedding. Karen Sen, Megan McGregor, Eleni Stavrou and Jane Kurtzman were also bridesmaids and Sarah Parsons Wolter officiated.
Samantha Parsons just graduated from Boston University’s physician assistant program, passed her certification exam and accepted a position in cardiac surgery at a hospital in the Boston area.
Ned Kenney founded a comedy-technology startup called Laughable; anyone who likes podcasts or comedy should check out the Laughable iPhone app. Investors include Justin Amirian, Ben Arad, Kelsey Byrne, Zach Farmer, Tom Hadley, Stephen Modelfino, Cary Stathopoulos, Frances Vernon, Matt Walker and Rob Zbeda. Paul Glenn, Allie Miller, Doug Nelson, Max Pollack and Jo Schneider have also pitched in with lots of good advice and Zoë Gottlieb came up with the Laughable name. A true oh-ten group effort!
Lyle Baker reported that he and his wife, Steffin, were visited by Dan Volgenau in August at their new house in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Dan drove from Texas to Kansas to see the solar eclipse.
Nathan Bruschi and Roanna Wang ’13 finished their summer internships as marketing managers for General Mills in Minneapolis and have returned to Harvard Business School, where they are in their final year. They celebrated their one-year anniversary of marriage in September and are looking forward to seeing friends and classmates at the 6th annual Dartmouth Veterans Day banquet.
Be well!
