Class Note 2001
Hey, ’01s! I hope you’re all enjoying the summer. As I write, the Fourth of July is just around the corner; by the time you read this, Labor Day will be sneaking up on us. How did you spend the stretch between those holidays? After you’ve read these updates, please take a moment to send me one of your own!
As has become the norm, we have many babies to celebrate. Georges Dyer is thrilled to announce the birth of his baby girl Hanna (Mary Hanna Dyer). “My wife, Michelle, and I are loving being parents and have had a great time introducing her to Dartmouth alums and spouses, including Casey and Charlie McElligott, Marci and Scott Kinum and Sierra and Brad Crevier.” The family is moving to Vancouver, British Columbia, this summer and would love to connect with any alums in the area. Josh Holman is also the proud dad of a new daughter. He and wife Kerri welcomed Piper June Holman to the world on March 12. Josh is opening a satellite office of Businessolver in Denver this summer and looks forward to growing the business in the West. Katie Lyndon Kehoe and her husband, John, just moved to Chicago with son Ollie, born December 24, 2011. Katie hopes to connect with any ’01s living downtown. Robin DeGracia writes, “My husband and I welcomed Indira Elizabeth Sivakumar to the world on June 15. Mom, dad and big brother Santiago are all excited to add a girl to our growing family.” And Kelly (Keene) Horst is a new mom, too. “My husband, Adam Horst ’00, and I welcomed baby girl Rebecca Ann Horst on June 20. She is our first. I recently finished a fellowship in pediatric radiology at the University of Michigan and Adam is both the Indiana State budget director and office of management and budget director under Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana.”
Jennifer Taylor Veneris graduated from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine with her M.D. and Ph.D. in June. She is staying on in Chicago for her residency in internal medicine and always looking forward to meeting other alums in the area. Meg (Fuchs) Hastings also shares graduation news: “I graduated this March from Harvard’s Graduate School of Education with an Ed.M. in higher education administration. I currently work in faculty affairs at Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences as the academic appointments manager.” Congratulations to both of you!
Last, but not least, we have a fun tidbit from Alric Lam. “At the time of this publishing I should be engaged to Amanda Price (Northeastern ’10). Assuming she said yes, we should also be under way on a road trip of epic proportions. After spending a long time of saving and planning, we are traveling the United States in a 30-foot Keystone fifth-wheel camper with our cat and dog, Mac and Chibby. I hope we’ve met up with lots of old friends already, and are planning to meet up with many more. During this time, we will be updating our blog regularly: www.roamdaily.com. Check it out and if we are swinging your way and you want to meet us, just let us know!” Best wishes to the happy couple!
