Class Note 1996
Issue
At the time of this writing, the weather doesn’t know if it wants to be winter, spring or summer here in N.Y.C., Tiger’s latest round of golf is a huge struggle in Quail Hollow, oil from a Gulf spill reaches Louisiana and the most despised team in Major League Baseball is the Cleveland Indians. But at the time this is published, we would have had an awesome class reunion! So on to classmate news.
Our deepest condolences go out to the family of Timothy Francis Farrell, originally from Falls Church, Virginia, who passed away in Frankfurt, Germany, of unknown causes. While at Dartmouth Tim went on an FSP in philosophy and was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon as well as the Fire & Skoal. To his friends, family and loved ones, we extend our deepest sympathies for your loss.
I heard from Jeffrey Smith, who is working at the Hanover Inn as a sous chef. If you didn’t have an opportunity to stop in during reunion, you should make the trek back to the upper valley to see what’s happening. Check it out at: www.hanoverinn.com/dining/events.
From Washington, D.C., Kishan Putta is happy to announce that he recently got engaged to Divya Swamy—a Columbia alum who is a Foreign Service officer focused on South Asia. He’s been busy himself heading up health reform efforts for Blue Cross. Their wedding will be in the fall near Princeton and may or may not include an elephant. Divya’s never been to Dartmouth, so Kishan is looking forward to coming up to reunion a day early for the Moosilauke overnight stay and introducing Divya to our class. Congratulations, Kishan!
Justin Steinman’s got a lot going on with his family these days. On March 22 his wife, Tammy, gave birth to identical twin boys, Matthew Lawrence and Ryan Isaac. Big siblings Leah (5) and Alan (2) are excited, if a bit wary, of their new siblings. As for Justin, he is still trying to wrap his ahead around the fact that he now has four kids. Way back in 1996 he could have never dreamed that he would be responsible (and have to pay college tuition) for four kids. But it’s been a blessing and a lot of fun so far, although the whole family is a little sleep-deprived. Know the feeling, Justin. Justin is still working at Novell, where he is now the vice president of solution and product marketing. His team is responsible for Novell’s go-to-market strategy and messaging across all of their product lines.
Rebecca Gorman is still living in Denver, Colorado, loving life there. She just attained tenure at Metro State College of Denver as an associate professor of English and is engaged to Daniel O’Neill. Their wedding will be in December. Best wishes, Rebecca!
It was great seeing you at reunion, if you made it there. Keep on keeping on.
