Howdy-do, ’03s! I actually have a bit of news this time, but am constantly looking for more. I’m never satisfied and so hard to please—so says my husband.

My first bit of news comes from the East Coast. After living in New York City since graduation and getting married in September, Tim Stanne and his husband recently moved to their new house in Norwalk, Connecticut. Tim will continue his job as assistant dean of graduate admissions at New York University Law and his service on the board of the Dartmouth Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Alumni Association. He and his husband are looking forward to settling in and hearing from others in the area.

Jillian Powers just signed a contract with New York University Press to publish her first book, which I presume to be about sociology! Congratulations on making the most eternal and enduring mark on your field!

Courtney (Anderson) DaCosta posted this on Facebook about her husband, Jason DaCosta: “Seven years ago he was working for Alarm.com from our dining room table after having relocated from D.C. and now the office of 60 that he leads was named one of the Twin Cities’ top workplaces and No. 2 among smaller companies. Cheers to the Alarm.com core and nice job, hubs!” Nice work, indeed, Jason!

Heather (Hanson) Manning wrote in to tell me about the birth of her second son, Henry, in June. She said that since I requested for all of you to think about me during all things important, she used a picture of me as her focal point during labor, which apparently really helped. Henry joined big brother James and Heather reports that they are all living happily in Holly Springs, North Carolina. If any alums are in the area, give Heather a shout! Well, not like she can do much with two kids under 3, but still…she likes to feel loved.

In other baby news, our very own class treasurer, Jaime (Singley) Shatsman had her first child, Clara Julia, on April 18 at 8:01 a.m. She was 7 pounds, 11 ounces, and 19.5 inches. Jamie also said that Clara has had many a playdate with William Knight Neundorfer, son of Dave Neundorfer and his wife, Jennifer. William was born on March 22 at 1:21 p.m. weighing in at 7 pounds, 4 ounces, and 20 inches long. Congratulations, everyone! I can’t wait for all our kiddos to be relaxing on the Green together in 2033!

I know that we have quite a few TV personalities in our midst, but Matt Pressman made an impressive three-day run on Jeopardy! recently. As I write this I’m watching his first episode, and not only was I impressed with his ability to write like an adult and have it be legible on that silly blue screen, but with his knowledge of Brer Rabbit, “A Christmas Story” and pasta. I loved that he mentioned his DOC trip, where he met Lauren (D’Elia) Pressman! Way better than the fondue story from the former champion!

Please visit our class website for a memorial about Russell “Rusty” Cheney written by his wife, Anna.

I hope to continue to get updates from you all. It makes my day when I hear of all the great things our class is doing (also when I don’t have to bore you all with details of my life). Stay classy, ’03s.
