Class Note 2012
Issue
September-October 2022
Hi, class of 2012.
Just a few quick notes this month as we wrap up the summer!
The lovely Rosa Van Wie has written in to share some life updates (and a delicious squash recipe that may take the prize for the best mail this column has ever seen)! Rosa has been teaching and moving around New England since we graduated, spending time in her hometown in Maine as well as in Lancaster, New Hampshire, and Bennington, Vermont. Rosa shares that despite some challenging experiences with the school district in Bennington (to say the least), she made some incredible connections through her hockey team and theater troupe. She’s now happily back in Littleton, New Hampshire, teaching fifth grade in a nearby elementary school, and wanted to say hello to the class. Thank you, Rosa, and wishing you all the best!
Bianca Zlatea, her husband, Donnie Surdoval ’10, and their son, Don, welcomed an addition this spring, the lovely Camelia. Mila was born in late May and will be bringing lots of joy to her family as she explores the Upper Valley. Congrats B. and D.!
Ally Clark and Tim Koeth are tying the knot in Philadelphia this Labor Day Weekend. Their Dartmouth love story is one for the ages—with their first date at a Sophomore Summer formal and a reconnection at our five-year reunion—and they deserve all the happiness in the world. Congratulations to these two wonderful people!
And congratulations to Ian Engler, DMS’16, who is following in the footsteps of celebrated orthopedic surgeon Freddie Fu ’74, DMS’75. Ian is currently in an orthopedic sports medicine fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh and, before Dr. Fu passed away last year, they were able to partner on an exciting project around the carbon footprint of an ACL reconstruction. Ian is passionate about sustainability and thrilled to have recently published this article in the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the most widely read journal for orthopedic surgeons. Cheers to this important work!
Ahead of our 10-year reunion, we’re also planning a host of mini-reunions in 10 cities across the country. These events will be in partnership with the classes of 2013 and 2014 to celebrate and get together, whether you can make it to Hanover next June or not. (We definitely hope you can!) More to come very soon if you haven’t already heard about this in a location near you.
Thanks as always for the notes and updates. Please keep ’em coming!
