Class Note 1999
Issue
Sept - Oct 2016
Hello, ’99s!
Election season is well underway and whoever you support in November will bring transformative change when they reach the White House. Restlessness extends beyond the United States, as I saw when British citizens decided in June to leave the European Union. Time will tell what this means for us all.
I’m pleased to begin this update with some good news. Chris Nybo writes that he has received a promotion and is now a principal at Much Shelist, a Chicago-based law firm that he joined in 2012. Much Shelist is a business-oriented law firm that helps clients achieve their goals across a wide range of legal disciplines, including employment, corporate transactions, insurance coverage, litigation, real estate, healthcare and intellectual property. Congratulations, Chris!
If you’re looking for a chance to step away from the world’s madness, you might consider taking a look at one of Nicole Tsong’snew books, Yoga for Hikers and Yoga for Climbers. These books, published by Mountaineers Books in Seattle, bring together Nicole’s passions for yoga, writing and the outdoors. Nicole took up yoga for the first time when she moved to Seattle to write for The Seattle Times. She writes: “Physically, yoga prepared me for activities I loved, such as hiking and cross-country skiing. I also discovered that strength applied to other areas of my life—it gave me the courage to leave the newspaper to teach full-time, to write my first books and to find love.”
Nicole credits Dartmouth for fostering her love for the outdoors and fondly recalls her first-year DOC trip and not quite completing a 50-mile hike when she was a senior.
Finally, I’m pleased to write that I have also published my first book, a memoir called A Father’s Choice. This book, published via Amazon, presents an unusual perspective to the controversial issue of abortion, showing that it can affect men as well as women. As I came to terms with my own loss, I realized how important family was in my life and learned to cherish each day with the children I do have. A Father’s Choice was written to help others affected by this difficult issue and to contribute to the wider public conversation.
That’s all the news for now. I wish you all a wonderful autumn and look forward to sharing more updates with you soon!
Best regards.
