Dartmouth’s commitment to the fine and performing arts is manifested in part through the college’s vibrant arts district, including the recently reopened and much enlarged Hood Museum. Various classmates are active members of creative communities. The Falkirk Cultural Center in San Raphael, California, recently exhibited “This is Not a Book:Journals by Minna Towbin Pinger.” Minna’s journals are large mixed-media and written word works focused on home and family. No stranger to the creative spotlight, Jean Hanff Korelitz was pleased to learn that hernovel, You Should Have Known, is being produced by David E. Kelley as a limited series for HBO. Renamed The Undoing, it will feature Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, and Donald Sutherland. Jean’s son, Asher, is following her creative lead and has joined the national tour of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Dear Evan Hansen. According to Jean, her son has forbidden her from following him during the year-long tour. Consistent with the creative theme of this issue’s Class Notes, Daniel Rodgers and his significant other, Cybele Gontar, recently bought a second home in New Orleans and own The Degas Gallery in the Warehouse District. Check it out online or stop by if you are in New Orleans. Congratulations are due to various classmates. Rick Baker recently married his longtime girlfriend, Anne Mork—who earned a master of healthcare delivery science through the Dartmouth Institute and Tuck in 2016—at a small wedding attended by family at the Wisconsin state capitol in Madison. The newlyweds honeymooned in Morocco. Best wishes, Rick and Anne! Gail Wiedman Marcus was recently named a partner at the N.Y.C. law firm McLaughlin & Stern. She counsels individuals and families concerning trusts and estates. Congratulations, Gail! Following a successful career in finance, including as the head of high-grade capital markets at JPMorgan Chase, Melanie Law Shugart has retired. She is learning Italian and recently spent a few months living in Italy. Molti auguri, Melanie! Pat Lippoczy Hedley has written a book we’re going to buy the minute we finish writing these notes—Meet 100 People. In her book, as well as in her TedXDartmouth talk, “Meet 100 People,” available online, Pat shares her wisdom on networking to cultivate meaningful and long-lasting relationships. Jim Sterling writes that he is committed to running at least nine New York Road Runner races in 2019 to qualify for the 2020 New York City Marathon. Go, Jim! Dave Ellis continues to organize the very popular first Friday Dartmouth lunches in New York City—noon to 1:30 p.m. on the first Friday of each month. Classmates in the New York City area should join him! We would love to hear from or about any of our classmates living outside the country for an upcoming international-themed Class Note. Please continue to send us news and announcements, international or domestic, creative or not, at dart838383mouth@gmail.com.
