Class Note 2005
Issue
Hey, ’05s! I hope all of you are doing well, loving life and making a difference wherever you are. I am honored and excited to be your new class secretary until 2015! As Sue AnderBois mentioned, I finally returned to the United States in 2008 after three years in the Marshall Islands, and am working as an environmental health scientist at Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. I graduated with an M.P.H. from Emory last May and spent time working with Blacksmith Institute, Philippines, on research to prevent heavy metal poisoning. Thanks to Sue for all her hard work over the past five years, and I will do my best to fill those very big shoes!
In recent ’05 news Clinton Hedges opened The RailYard, a neighborhood bar located at 4200 San Felipe in Houston, Texas, on June 18. He is co-owner and manager and says he is “ready and willing to receive constructive criticism about [his] role in the service industry.” Stop by for a visit or e-mail him at clinton_hedges@yahoo.com for more info.
Those of you who follow the music scene may have read about Eric Lindley’s new album Oh, Light (recorded under the name Careful) in the July 4 “Critic’s Choice” section of The New York Times. Lindley’s music is described as part of “a tradition of unnervingly confidential, light-voiced male singers [with] bare but surely played acoustic-guitar patterns.” Any nonfiction fanatics may have seen Kabir Sehgal on Book TV for his recently published Walk in My Shoes: Conversations Between a Civil Rights Legend and His Godson on the Journey Ahead. Congrats to both of you for making it big!
Belated congratulations are also in order for Elisabeth (Kreter) McKibben, who got married in October 2009 in Annapolis, Maryland. She wrote, “My father, Charles Kreter ’78, walked me down the aisle and more than 20 Dartmouth guests attended, including my maid of honor Elizabeth Hyon.” Elizabeth and husband Max are off to Mombasa, Kenya, for a year of medical research and volunteering.
Trevor Jensen also got married—twice! Once outside of Seattle and once in Sri Lanka, home to the family of his wife, Tushani Illangasekare. Matt Bartek wrote to say that, “Brandon Charles, Matthew Oppenheimer and Trevor’s sister Lisi Jensen Simmons ’03 were there by his side, and Eve Russell, Matt Bartek, Vikash Reddy, and Meeke Droese ’08 supported him from the crowd and on the dance floor.” Both Trevor and Tushani are currently attending medical school.
Matt Bartek himself is spending a year in Peru as a Fogarty International Clinical Research Scholar between his third and fourth years at UMass Medical School. According to his e-mail, “Anyone passing through Peru is welcome to stay for a night of pisco sours, ceviche and the like.” I suggest taking him up on that offer! Matt also wrote to say that, “Christian Weeks graduated from Harvard Business School in the spring and is working in Boston for EnerNoc and also for his family: Rebecca Weeks ’02 and Virginia Weeks (future Dartmouth ’31).”
John Urban spent the summer working for the Department of the Treasury in Washington, D.C., and is entering his final year of law school at Boston University. Anne Marbarger, also a former employee of the Department of the Treasury, traveled to South Africa this summer before starting her first year of business school at George Washington University. Anne also completed the Ironman Louisville last year!
It is great to hear from so many of you, and I hope to hear from even more in coming years. Please send all news and life updates to me.
Thanks and take care!
