Class Note 1993
Issue
November-December 2023
After living in China for six years, Farrell Paige Harwood returned to Virginia, where her eldest graduated from the University of Virginia. Her youngest graduated from high school in China before returning with husband Shawn. You can find the Harwoods in Richmond.
This summer I (Munir Haddad) was on a road trip to take my son to camp. I stopped in Larchmont, New York, and stayed with Pete Essig and his family. Our boys are around the same ages and quickly got to throwing a football, playing MineCraft, running around the house, and laughing.
As part of that journey Matt McGinnes and his wife, Missy, allowed me to invite myself to stay at their house in Cleveland. One evening Russ Brady joined Matt and me for dinner out. They both missed our 30th and we were excited to share stories. We shut the place down. In our defense, it was still light out. Russ invited us back to his house where we continued to reminisce, share stories of our children (how some of theirs are older than we were when we met each other) and the responsibilities of everyday life.
Tammy Fagell Sloan invited the Haddad family to her house on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, while Sara Ehrlich and her family were in town. My son and Sara’s had met each other as toddlers and are now both going into sixth grade. They took off together while we adults talked about reunion, friends, and places we’ve lived. Sara, husband Chris Ehrlich ’92, and I have unintentionally followed each other around the country, so I’m hoping that their next stop is settling in Martha’s Vineyard with us.
A work trip took me to the San Francisco Bay Area. Kim Carlson Hobson joined me for lunch in Sausalito. She missed our reunion, having recently attended the delayed 25th of her husband, Jake Hobson ’95. Kim and Jake have two children in high school and Kim leads marketing for a healthcare start up that provides oral immunotherapy, a way to build resistance to food allergies. We remembered Dwight Fenton and shared memories.
Mark Hirschey came to Martha’s Vineyard in August and stayed with us for an evening before the rest of his family joined him. His eldest is a senior in high school and his triplets are sophomores. He continues to work in energy consulting.
Jason Barabas and his wife, Jennifer Jerit, both Dartmouth professors of government, visited the Vineyard in August and were adopted by the extended Haddad family. They attended the third annual Black Alumni of Dartmouth Association (BADA) event in Oak Bluffs, along with me, Tammy Fagell Sloan, Adam Sloan, and their daughter, Nina Sloan ’24.
Kelly Copper and partnerPavol Lista ’95 received a 2023 Guggenheim fellowship and went on a two-month cross-country motorcycle trip through America loosely inspired by the 1969 film Easy Rider. They will be cataloging their journey in a work of art to come.
