Fred Wearn reported from Oregon on the marriage of his daughter, Colleen Wearn ’06, to Joe Horrell ’04. The wedding, a real Dartmouth event, took place in the fall on Mount Hood. Fred sent along a group picture of the more than 50 Dartmouth alumni who celebrated the occasion. Included in the picture, in addition to the bride and groom, were Fred’s brothers, George Wearn ’76 and Dick Wearn ’64, and Fred’s daughter, Anna Wearn ’12. Also in attendance were the groom’s siblings, Emily Horrell Templeton ’02 and Chuck Horrell ’00. Paul Sunde, director of admissions at Dartmouth and Colleen’s former boss when she worked at the College, was the officiant for the wedding. Fred’s best friend, Sam Robertson ’67, also attended. Fred and Sam met after Dartmouth while in medical school.

Amanda Stoermer grew up in Oklahoma hearing stories about the wonderful place that is Dartmouth from her father, Jeffrey Stoermer. This past summer Jeffrey mentioned that his Kappa Kappa Kappa would celebrate its 175th anniversary in the fall. That became the catalyst for a visit to New Hampshire. Amanda formulated the plans while Jeffrey reached out to classmates and fraternity brothers. Amanda and Jeffrey traveled to New Hampshire in October. They caught up with Dana Bisbee in Manchester, New Hampshire. Jeffrey and Dana had overlapped at Georgetown Law in D.C., when Jeffrey was pursuing an LL.M. in taxation and Dana was earning his J.D. In Hanover Jeffrey and Amanda participated in the Dartmouth Night Homecoming parade and bonfire with Bob Baumann and Gary Wells.They enjoyed the football victory over Yale. They visited the 1902 Room in Baker Library and climbed Baker Tower and celebrated the Tri-Kap anniversary with Dave von Loesecke, Bruce Williamson, Keith Shenberger and Steve Larmon. Although this was Amanda’s first visit to Dartmouth, her older brother, Adam, had visited the campus with Jeffrey when Adam was touring schools on his college search. In the end, Adam attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Today Adam is a teacher, coach and campus minister in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He is married, has three daughters and is a world-class triathlete. Amanda attended DePauw University for her undergraduate studies and earned a master’s in social work from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Amanda lives in St. Louis and works for a nonprofit organization in the healthcare field, where she manages safety-net programs and trains medical students to provide compassionate healthcare to the underserved. Jeffrey is in private law practice in Tulsa, focusing on estate planning, trust and probate law, tax and business organization. He is an avid runner, a volunteer and board member emeritus of the Parent Child Center, an organization dedicated to the prevention of child abuse and neglect through education, treatment and advocacy, and an adult Sunday school class teacher. Jeffrey has been married to his wife, Deborah, for 41 years.
