As I write this column 2020 is coming to a close; however, reading it you will be well into the second month of a new year. With it comes good news, renewed hope, and excitement for a return to what I’m sure will be a forever-different “new normal.” Along with these things to celebrate is wonderful news from our classmates below!

Emily (Reeves) Nicholson and Caitlin Nicholson ’12 tied the knot in a small backyard wedding in Ithaca, New York, on September 5, 2020. The wedding was full of Dartmouth folks: Caitlin’s parents, Claire (Rehnberg) Nicholson ’86 and Sean Nicholson ’86; Emily’s bridesmaids Eileen Goodwin, Lily (Albrecht) Bowdler, and Meghan Hassett; and the couple’s good friends Perrin Brown, Megan Bogia, Katie Bonner, and Katie (Niedt) Arn ’12. The newlyweds now live in Chicago with their puppy, Zeus.

Two ’15s proposed to their now fiancées, within seven days of each other—Nick Lombardi in Huntington Beach, California, and Bo Patterson in Greenville, South Carolina.
