Some really awesome updates this time, classmates! I hope by the time you read this the never-ending winter most of us are experiencing will be a bad memory, but these should warm your heart regardless. First I heard from Dan Galemba who wrote, “Rebecca Berke Galemba and I welcomed our second daughter, Alexandra, on December 9. No one’s happier about it than her big sister Lanie!” The Galembas are enjoying their home base in Denver, where Dan is “enjoying all the craft beer and whiskey” and Lanie is learning to ski. Also Dan’s office at DaVita is right next to that of Carolyn Maezes. Do you think they take “Salty Dog Rag” breaks? 


Thanks to a little birdie I know that this past September Kristin Andrews married Christopher Lemos (University of Maryland ’00) in beautiful and bracing Lake Placid, New York, where in July Kristin placed fourth in the women’s professional Ironman triathalon. Wedding-weekend events organized by the two accomplished athletes included hiking, swimming in a mountain lake and running approximately 12 miles the morning before the ceremony. After exchanging vows bride and groom paddle-boarded and canoed in full formal dress. Devon (Haskell) Gorry, Megan Malgeri and Cecily Garber helped celebrate. Jessie Allen Young was unable to attend due to the birth of her son Max—a real cutie—on July 30 with wife, Lauren Daley (University of Florida ’03), by her side.


Finally, stud Big Green goalie Nick Boucher recently had his jersey retired by the Fort Wayne (Indiana) Komets. Nick played for the Komets from 2007-12, leading them to three consecutive titles in the International Hockey league and a fourth in the Central Hockey League. He also earned IHL Goaltender of the Year, IHL First Team All Star and Komets’ Most Valuable Player of the Year honors during his tenure there. Nick retired this past year due to nagging injuries and continues to reside in the Fort Wayne area. 


I hope everyone is requesting time off, checking flight schedules and group emailing each other with plans to get back to Hanover this June for our reunion. It’s going to be a fantastic time, and I personally can’t wait to meet the future Dartmouth grads I keep writing about! If you’re interested in helping out with the planning, please contact our president Alan Washington at dartmouth03@gmail.com. See everybody soon!
