Class Note 2003

Issue

November-December 2022

Winter greetings, ’03s.

Brr! I bet it’s cold up in Hanover now. I’ll never forget the bone-chilling winds whipping across the Green as we made our way about campus. Do you have a favorite Winter Carnival memory to share? Send me a note at the email below and I’ll include it in the next column.

As noted in our last column, Yungsheng Wang appeared on Jeopardy! with his episodes airing beginning July 4. He ended up being a three-night champion, amassing a total win of more than $80,000 before losing on his fourth appearance. Yungsheng is now waiting as an alternate to potentially appear on the Tournament of Champions. We’re crossing our fingers for you and congrats on your wins!

Jessica Sharkness wrote in with her first ever Class Notes update! She got married in July to Noah Arliss after two years of Covid-related delays. He’s not a Dartmouth alum and Jessica says she forgives him for that. In attendance were Adam Colman ’05, Nate Riley ’02, Sarah Stein ’05, Jessica Tam, and the above-mentioned Jeopardy! champion Yungsheng Wang. The couple lives in the Bay Area, where they moved in September 2020, and urge any fellow alums in the area to give a rouse. Congratulations on the nuptials, Jessica!

I heard from Alice Gomstyn, who reports in on a very belated joint 40th birthday gathering for her, Kathleen (Reeder) Paley, and Kristin Weekley in N.Y.C. in June. The group took in a Broadway show, dined at Nobu, and then headed to the Lower East Side to dance the night away—well, for an hour or two, that is. Also in June, Alice and her husband, Brian Maloney ’01, celebrated Pride Month with John Ashworth and his husband in Brooklyn, New York. Finally, in August Alice and her family were on vacation in Newport, Rhode Island, where they enjoyed a tour of historic Fort Adams led by Peter Baylor ’68. All around a Dartmouth-filled summer for Alice!

That’s all the news for this time, so help me out and send your updates to the email below!
