Class Note 2005

Issue

May - Jun 2017

Happy spring, everyone, hope all is well. The start of 2017 has been busy, so let’s get to it.

First, some class business. Congratulations to Kaitlin (Jaxheimer) Descovich, who replaces our own Tim Millikin as Dartmouth Alumni Council class representative. Congrats, Kaitlin, and thank you for your years of hard work, Tim!

Michele Nudelman married Dan Simonelli this past fall. The wedding was attended by Trisha Grant, Miguella Mark-Carew ’04, Cynthia Santos, Brenda Zarate and David Kaye.

Matt Heineman is at it again, film fanatics. His latest and greatest, City of Ghosts, debuted at Sundance in January and profiles the citizen journalists who run the website Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS). The site has chronicled the abuses of ISIS since 2014 and is still considered one of the best sources of information about daily conflict in Syria. As a result of RBSS’s work, ISIS has murdered several RBSS members, and current contributors continue to be tracked, forced to move between safe houses. Katie Van Syckle interviewed Matt in a Men’s Journal piece shortly after Sundance and it’s a great read. Matt’s film was purchased by Amazon shortly thereafter and will be making its way to all of us soon. Well done, Matthew, as you’re known in “the biz.”

Kate (Moran) Mullin and husband Jeff welcomed a third child, Teresa Quinn, on November 30, 2016. “Tess” is happily wearing Dartmouth hand-me-downs from excited big sisters Evelyn (4) and Cecilia (1.5). Congratulations, Mullin family!

A couple other baby updates to note thanks to social media: Sawyer Zandan born in January to Noah Zandan and wife Anna; Kolt Martin born in February to Sarah (Rhodes) Martin and husband Brian; Declan Hebert born in February to Marty and Kristin Hebert. Way to go to all the moms, dads, and siblings!

Would love to hear from more of you in 2017. Enjoy spring in the meantime!
