Hiya, ’12s. Hope this finds you well. Great news to report this month, so I won’t delay.


Drew Jones says hello from Berkeley, California. He wrote in to say that he’s now working for a small company called Access Softek that does mobile banking applications. “I’m working with a bunch of other Dartmouth alums too. I think there are about 12 to 15 of us in the company thus far.” He was sure to add that he’s “doing the job right now during the day and also trying to get some songs written so that I can start pursuing music as a career.” We wish you nothing but good luck, Drew!


Mike Randall is moving to Philly. Give him a warm welcome, guys.


Ally Dutton ran the Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon and Half Marathon in Portland, Oregon—making it her third half marathon. That’s right, count ’em—not one, not two, but three half marathons! You go, girl!


Shelley Carpeni and Amanda Conrad took a lovely trip to San Fran recently, and have the classic Golden Gate Bridge pic to prove it.


One of our very own mini-reunion chairs, Cat Roedel, told me all about the fabulous mini-reunion she organized in N.Y.C. I heard only good things from Cat, but would love to hear equally good things from everyone else who was there (cough cough—I’m looking at you, N.Y.C).


Watch out, Beantown. Kyle Boyd moved to town at the end of June to start a new teaching job. Send him good vibes. Please and thank you.


Lastly, I have to give a shout out to John Hill for making the clever suggestion that each issue should feature a different city along with the lovely ’12s who call said city home. Needless to say, I literally could not love this idea more. So keep an eye out, ’12s, there’s a new sheriff in town (I don’t think that saying really works here, but lets roll with it, shall we?).


Since John had this rocking idea, it seems only fitting that we start in his town. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, Philly! 


That’s all for now, but as always comments, questions, concerns, updates and all around basic musings are always welcomed and greatly appreciated, even though its already well known that I am not too proud to Facebook stalk (but come on, it’s a two-way street, y’all). You know what to do. X’s and O’s.
