Class Note 2005

Issue

May - Jun 2018

Happy spring, everyone. My apologies for not having a submission in the previous issue, but that just means more to update you all on this go around.

First, we have several baby announcements. Jason Edgar and wife Julia ’06 had a daughter, Evelyn Blair, in September. Jane (Viner) Lanier and husband Addison, Tu’12, welcomed daughter Emery Cyrena in October. Victoria Corder and husband Tony had a son, Charles Ellis, in November. Jenny (Kunkel) Calder and husband Ben had a second daughter, Georgia Eleanor Calder, in November. Justin Bain and wife Lauren, Tu’12, had son Henry in November. Nicole Valco and husband Kyle Thomas welcomed Charlotte Mae Thomas in January. Josh Gault and wife Dominique had daughter Ellie Perrett in January. Chris Grimm and wife Lacey welcomed second child Davis Alexander in January. Nick Crofoot and wife Elizabeth welcomed their second child, Anne Chatham, to the world in February. Our fearless class leader, Ashley Shackelton, had daughter No. 4, Lily, in February. Finally, Brian Zurhellen and wife Elizabeth welcomed daughter Presley in February. Congratulations to all parents, new and old!

In terms of weddings, Kate Lyon married Chris Bustard ’10 in Hanover last August, while Andy Rankin married Ally Fleming in San Francisco in February. It sounds as if both weddings were heavy green and attended by too many friends and fellow alums to name.

Here are some other quick updates. Karen Zook moved back to the Upper Valley and opened a craft store in downtown Lebanon, New Hampshire. Kate Mulley’s musical Razorhurst premiered at Luna Stage in New Jersey in February and got great reviews.

Our class is continuing its mentorship program with the class of 2015. We will be matching ’15s with ’05s for one-off mentorship calls as well as scheduling mini-reunions in select cities. Please reach out to our class officers if you’d like to participate.

It’s never too early to plan for our next reunion—15th to be exact. Start making your Hanover plans now to join the ’05, ’04 and ’03 classes from June 14 to 16, 2019.
