Class Note 2011
Issue
January-February 2023
The obituary for John McInerney “Mac” Morris has been published at dartmouthalumnimagazine.com/class-obituaries/2011. One update from Lane Bracken: As of mid-October Mac’s family postponed the memorial service, initially scheduled for November 5 in N.Y.C., to April 29. Please contact Lane at lane.bracken@gmail.com if you are interested in attending Mac’s memorial service.
We would like to compile a memorial Class Notes column dedicated to Mac’s memory. Lane, Marshall Bartlett, Trevor G. King, and I (in my capacity as secretary) will be helping to organize and collect memories from classmates and friends. Please reach out to any of them or me, but please copy me on correspondence so I can be sure to include your contribution and ensure nothing gets lost in anyone’s inboxes. My email and contact information are listed at the bottom of this (and every) Class Notes column.
In other news, Bryan Alston postponed the guest column planned for this issue, but we hope to see him back soon!
Genevieve Adams wrote in with an update: She wrote, directed, produced, and stars in indie feature Simchas and Sorrows, which has received critical acclaim at the Bentonville Film Festival, the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, and the Cinequest Film & Creativity Festival. Simchas and Sorrows ran in Los Angeles at the Laemmle NoHo 7 theater in mid-September 2022 and Gravitas Ventures digitally released the film on September 20, 2022. Genevieve and her husband, Ben Groveman, also welcomed the birth of their first child, Leonardo Nathaniel Groveman, on April 17, 2022!
Claire Scott recently moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to start a job as senior lecturer in German language at Vanderbilt University. Her first book, Murderous Mothers: Late Twentieth-Century Medea Figures and Feminism, came out in September 2022 with Peter Lang Press.
Lauren Glover wrote in for the first time with news for Class Notes! Lauren’s lovely update: “After graduation I moved to the Bay Area and bounced around many industries—from nonprofits to women’s health and reproductive justice to consulting and, finally, tech. I’ve been focused on employee-executive strategy and communications at Dolby Laboratories Inc. since 2016.
“In 2017 I met my now-husband, Colin Poindexter, a 2013 graduate of Franklin and Marshall College. We got engaged in March 2021 on Big Sur’s Pfeiffer Beach, where we first said that we love each other in 2018; moved across the country to Brooklyn together; adopted a lilac British shorthair (a ridiculously adorable and lovable goblin—as most cats are); and got married on Saturday, October 8, 2022, at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan. After the ceremony the reception was held aboard a private yacht that sailed the Hudson at sunset. A few Dartmouth folks were in attendance: Shayla Mars and Angelo Carino. Shawn Hawk ’13 celebrated with us in spirit as he was unable to make it but wished us well!”
In the same vein of delightful events, Sam Lloyd got married to Nina Deoras in Madison, New Hampshire, on August 27, 2022. I saw Nina post wedding photos to Instagram in mid-October and thought to myself, “Wow, Sam looks like royalty. Why is that? Oh my God, he looks like Prince Harry!” I found Sam on Facebook Messenger to tell him of his royal resemblance, and Sam responded, “Yea. One time on a bus in N.Y.C. someone flagged the bus down just to poke his head in and yell at me that I looked like him (Prince Harry).” So there you have it, we have our very own Prince Harry doppelgänger.
As always, please write in with updates; we truly love hearing from you!
