Class Note 1993
Mar - Apr 2013
June marks the 20th anniversary of our graduation from Dartmouth. In honor of that I ask: Who haven’t you seen in 20 years that you would like to reconnect with? Let me know and I will try to find out what they have been up to—to run in the June Class Notes.
As you read this, Winter Carnival has passed and many alumni volunteers have returned to Club and Affiliated Group Officers Weekend in Hanover. Many ’93s are active with their local alumni clubs—I’d love to hear from all of you to let us know the good work you are doing for Dartmouth on a regional level, so write to me at the email address below.
Did you get to hear Suzanne (Spencer) Rendahl on Vermont Public Radio? She has recently been a guest commentator on such subjects as “The Global Classroom” and “Free to be Forty” [about the children’s album Free to Be…You and Me as it turns 40].
On the other side of the country Ollie Medzihradksy wrote in responding to my request for California alumni. He is a pediatric and internal medicine hospitalist. After spending some years in Tahoe and San Diego, he is now in Northern California, working half of the time at University of California, San Francisco, and half of the time at under-resourced global sites. He actually wrote in from Eastern Congo, where he was at the time. Those in the Bay Area take note: He says he is “super psyched to take part in DOC activities at the North Tahoe Cabin this winter and link up with any other folks in San Francisco.”
Adam Heaney writes in from Newport Beach, California, where he works for a local firm, Emery Financial. He’s looking forward to connecting with any alums there as he is tired of being surrounded by a sea of crimson and gold University of Southern California flags!
I officially want Erik Ochsner’s frequent-flier miles. He has been conducting all over the world in the past few years—including recent assignments conducting the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring live to projection in Adelaide and Melbourne, Australia; the Lord of the Rings Symphony in Shanghai; and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl: Disney Live in Rochester, New York. He has return engagements lined up for 2013 including Australia, Toronto and his hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana.
