Class Note 2010
Issue
November-December 2020
Mackenzie (Howell) Saitowitz: “My husband, Adam, and I welcomed our fourth child, Hadassah, who was born the week that Israel’s shutdown began. Definitely a unique maternity leave! Luckily, big siblings Moshe, 7, Tirtzah, 5, and Kayla, 3, have been a big help. As a family we have been learning about different countries (culture, crafts, food, etc.) and would love to hear from alumni living abroad about their home and adopted countries (mackenziejhowell@gmail.com).”
Anna Nearburg:“I design and handcraft jewelry—www.stoneeverett.com. In fall 2019 I had the pleasure of making an engagement ring for classmate Katherine Crowe and her fiancé, Tammer Raouf ’09. A belated congratulations to them!”
Lucretia Witte: “I started my own business, Witticism, helping individuals align their lives to their strengths and values. I’d love to work with any classmates who are looking to make a personal or professional transformation!”
After two years in Denver, Reed Boeger, his wife, Lindsay, and their daughter, Ava, spent the fall testing out some new spots and working remotely from Bend, Oregon, and southern California. Missing the mountains, they headed back to Idaho in early 2020 and welcomed little Wyatt in May. They are looking forward to never moving again. (Ever.)
Kelley (Weed) Zarbock and Doug Zarbock welcomed a son, Owen Zachary Zarbock, on July 30 in Madison, Wisconsin. Liz Klinger and James Wang celebrated their second-year marriage anniversary, launched a sex research program through their company, Lioness, and adopted a flock of chickens. “Going to assess their personalities before naming them!” says Liz. Eric Schwager got married in January and is starting school at the American Film Institute in the director’s track for his M.F.A. in September. Tom Shanahan got engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Kelcey Simpson, during a vacation in Bend, Oregon. They met when they were both at Tuck (He was a Tu’17 and she was a Tu’18).
Though their September wedding was postponed, Emma Nairn married Nash Reilly in her parents’ backyard in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 7. She is looking forward to celebrating in person with many ’10s someday soon!
Thank you to Eli Mitchell for sharing news about our Dartmouth College Fund (DCF) fund-raising. We crushed the 10th reunion DCF reunion participation record with 46.1 percent of classmates contributing to the DCF this year and a record $475,095 in gifts and future commitments raised! These gifts go a long way for current and future students. Remember: Last year we created a $150,000 endowed scholarship for our class when we hit 51 percent participation. There is a student at Dartmouth today who is receiving the Class of 2010 Scholarship.
Warning: Jokes follow! Jake Routhier: “Our classmate Katie Porter, in a grand effort to make a statement regarding human waste, has embarked on a multi-year art project to bring porcelain toilets to and photograph porcelain toilets in the world’s most iconic locations. She’s taken pics of privies in the Oval Office, the Taj Mahal, and atop Mount Everest. She’s calling her work Porter Potties.” Katie Porter hits back: “I’d like to commend our classmate Jake Routhier, who, after spending the last year and a half under a vow of silence in the Buddhist Monastery Yumbulagang, has taken the next step on his journey toward self-actualization. He is too modest to announce his own triumph over his siblings (including Sam ’07 and Emma ’12). As a result, please update any reference of ‘Jake Routhier’ in the future to ‘Jake Routhiest.’ ”
Black lives matter.
