Class Note 2012
Issue
Nov - Dec 2017
Friends, I couldn’t be more excited to take over the reins for this space from the inimitable Kelley Crisp. She’s set pretty high expectations for the quality (and pun-density) of our class notes column during the past five years, and I’m lucky to have been able to pick her brain for suggestions. All I can say is that I and the rest of your new class officers—president Tim Koeth, VP Jamila Ma and treasurer Ray Li—are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you guys until our next reunion. Reach out with your thoughts, ideas and concerns and keep your eyes peeled for some fun new things we’ve got up our sleeves.
Now, the notes.
In case you missed it, Nina Skagerlind had a great (the best) excuse for missing reunion: She and Max Geld ’11 welcomed their first child, a beautiful and healthy baby girl named Mira, in late May. The couple also relocated to Newport Beach, California. After moving all over the world, they’re looking forward to connecting with Dartmouth alumni in southern California.
Summer wedding season is behind us and with it lots of new marriages to announce. Keira Grimes and Mike Zirngibl ’10 tied the knot this summer, as did Mike Dimitrief and Leslie Herscher and Ray Li and Maddie Steiner ’11. Eleni Marmarelis (now McGeehin), who graduated from Geisel last spring, married Brendan McGeehin ’09, Tu’15, this summer—and they’re expecting their first child in 2018. And in the world of future weddings, Bianca Zlatea and Donnie Surdoval ’10 got engaged this summer. Cheers to all of the happy couples!
They’re not the only ones on the move. Anna-Kay Thomas made the leap to Los Angeles to continue chasing her entertainment host dreams. Hard-working boss lady that she is, A.K. already has her foot in the door with a job on NBC’s Steve.
Chloe Greenbaum, Ph.D. candidate in clinical psychology at New York University, is doing big things in Boston as a clinical fellow at Harvard Medical School. Caitlin Nicholson just finished up medical school at SUNY Upstate. Now in Philadelphia, she’s an intern in family medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. A bit further south Lauren Pace has just kicked off her first year at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
Sarah Tanaka Glass has gone west to Portland, Oregon, for her ophthalmology residency at Oregon Health Sciences University. And scholar extraordinaire Liz Doe Stone, a doctoral candidate in art history at the University of Virginia, just moved to Sweden to conduct archival research on the artist Anders Zorn. Wish all of these ladies luck!
Back in the Upper Valley Bekey Lee Kettering will be attending Tuck in the fall. And between golf tournaments Peter Williamson organized a fundraiser called Capture the Flags this September. Held at Hanover Country Club, the event raised money for the Hanover-based nonprofit Positive Tracks, which empowers kids through a combination of getting active and giving back.
That’s all I’ve got! As the holiday season approaches, share your news with me so I can share it with the class—we can’t wait to hear what you’re up to.
