September-October 2024
Congratulations to the Rev. Julia Whitworth on being elected the next bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. The diocese’s website shares “Whitworth, the rector of Trinity Church in Indianapolis since 2016, is the first woman to be elected to lead the Diocese of Massachusetts as diocesan bishop.” Outgoing bishop Rev. Alan M. Gates effuses, “Julia Whitworth brings gifts of creativity and joy, along with solid experience and accomplishments at the diocesan and parish levels, which have prepared her for spirit-driven leadership in our midst.”
Sarah Salih (von Maltzahn), head of regional coverage, Americas, head of financial institutions, Americas, for HSBC, shared on her LinkedIn page that “HSBC had the pleasure of hosting several of our clients, partners, and colleagues for a panel discussion on the transformative impact of generative AI. It was a great opportunity to hear from industry experts who are at the forefront of driving innovation in their respective fields. The event was sponsored by HSBC’s women in banking group.”
Rich Lytle was back in Hanover for graduation. He gave “a big shoutout to Tony Godsick, who secured Roger Federer as the graduation speaker. I was able to catch up with past Chi Gam brothers, including Chad Thomas and Andrew Faulkner. Always great to see Chad and Cathleen (Millett) Thomas, the longest tenured Dartmouth couple of the class of ’93. Andrew Faulkner married Deb Tripaldi ’91, and their daughter, Grace ’24, has been a stalwart on the Dartmouth women’s soccer team. An unexpected treat was having Megan Lynch ’24, daughter of Tommy Lynch, and Richard Lytle III ’24, my son, graduate back-to-back as Tommy and I did 31 years ago. I wonder how many times that has happened in the history of Dartmouth.”
Rich also shared, “I married Kelly Bell Lytle ’94. After college I attended medical school in Alabama and did my residency in St. Louis, Missouri. My internship class included Lloyd Johnson. I have practiced neurosurgery for 20 years in Asheville, North Carolina. Kelly and I have three boys, including Richard ’24; Henry, a rising sophomore at Notre Dame; and Oliver (17). We have had the opportunity to host the Ledyard Canoe Club for dinner the last four years during its annual spring trip to North Carolina. This past fall Alex Gayer visited while watching his daughter play soccer for UNC Greensboro. Don’t hesitate to look us up if you are in the area.”
The Dartmouth Founders Project featured Tracey (Pettengill) Turner, entrepreneur extraordinaire and current founder and chair of Copia Global. In addition to highlighting her fabulous career, which we have previously shared here, they focused on her philanthropic efforts. Per Tracey, “So far I’ve endowed a scholarship fund for the engineering school intended to support students from emerging markets. I’m particularly interested in enabling stellar African students to attend Dartmouth, which enriches not only them and their home countries but equally importantly the entire Dartmouth community. I’ve also joined the Centennial Circle, a remarkable platform for Dartmouth alumnae philanthropic giving.”
