News from Chris Jenny: “Life is good at the Jenny farm, but we find ourselves a bit nostalgic as our four kids make their way out into the wide, wide world. Alex completed his first year at Tuck, Chris is in San Francisco working for Tesla, Lauren is living with some Dartmouth pals in Boston (working for Putnam Investments) and Lizzie will be a first-year (when did we lose the term freshman?) at Dartmouth this fall. My firm, the Parthenon Group, merged with EY and I will soon be heading off to the next chapter in life after 20 years with the firm. Lots of new directions and adventures planned, including serving on several corporate and nonprofit boards, ramping up my venture investing and traveling the world with Andi. Hope to see my classmates this fall at the newly renovated Memorial Field for what could be another Dartmouth football championship season.”


Ted Boucher checks in from Rochester, New York, where he has been involved in a family business for some time. According to Ted, “We manufacture and sell hardware to door and window manufacturers. The original business, started in 1888, made counterbalances for windows that slide up and down. Headquarters and a manufacturing plant are in Rochester, but other manufacturing or distribution facilities are in Maryland, West Virginia, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Juarez, Mexico, and Coventry and Cheltenham, United Kingdom. I’m now semi-retired, as I brought in a non-family member to be CEO several years ago. I stay active consulting to him and as chair of our board, also non-family members.”


Sad news: Susan Kmon passed away March 25. A native of Manchester, New Hampshire, Susan was an English/Renaissance studies major at Dartmouth and she studied abroad in Strasbourg, France. Susan will be missed.
