Class Note 2003
Issue
July-August 2023
Greetings, ’03s!
Summer has arrived! And with it, some of my favorite Dartmouth memories: Tubestock (RIP), lazing on the Green, ice cream at Whistlestop—how about you? I was up in Hanover for the Dartmouth College Fund committee meeting in early April, and spring was just emerging. It will be lovely to visit next June for our 20th (21st) reunion. Speaking of which, we need help to plan the reunion, new officers to lead our class, and importantly, agents to help raise our class gift. Please contact me with any interest.
Katherine MacLean sent in news—her first book, Midnight Water: A Psychedelic Memoir, is coming out this summer. She also reports that she and husband John Motsinger moved to southern Vermont last summer with their two children, Frances (7), and Raymond (5). John is a farmer currently working on timber management, organic vegetables, and maple syrup in Dover. Katherine hopes to do a book reading and discussion this fall in Hanover at Still North Books. Congratulations, Katherine, and thanks for the updates.
I also heard from Katie Swor, who brings us the joyous news that she and her husband, Christian (University of Minnesota ’03) adopted their son, Quentin, in June 2021. They look forward to bringing him to Dartmouth soon. Katie remains as an engineer with Stantec and continues to manage the USA Bandy women’s team. Her team won bronze at the 2023 World Championships in Sweden, the first ever medal for USA Bandy. Wonderful update all around; thanks for sharing, Katie!
Bryan Bollinger wrote in with news of his promotion to full professor at the New York University Stern School of Business. Bryan serves as the academic director of doctoral education and the George A. Kellner faculty fellow. Best of luck in your new role, Bryan!
News reached me that Rebecca (Myers) Galemba’s newest book (mentioned as forthcoming in a previous column), Laboring for Justice: The Fight Against Wage Theft in an American City, was published on March 14. Congrats, Rebecca!
Sonja (Tonnesen) Davies, Lindsay (Hirschfeld) Guzowski, John Lawrence, Yungsheng Wang, and I (Megan (Riley) Kenney) visited Larchmont, New York, to celebrate Meredith (Schwartz) Beuchaw and husband Steve’s eldest daughter Sabrina’s (13) bat mitzvah. It was wonderful to catch up with classmates and join in the happy occasion.
Finally, I visited Lindsay Guzowski in April in her new home of Orlando, Florida, where she and husband Andrew and son Peter (5) moved in the summer of 2022. As all such responsible 40-something adults do, we spent a day immersing ourselves in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, much to the chagrin of my 12-year-old daughter, Bridget, who indignantly declared she could not believe that I went without her.
As always, send any and all news my way at the email below.
