Class Note 2001

Many thanks to our reunion committee for hosting what I hear was an especially memorable event in June. Several people have told me the weekend exceeded their expectations, and I’ve seen some great pictures of not only ’01s, but also their families. So sweet! If you’d like to share your own photos with a broader audience, please post them in the “Dartmouth College Class of 2001” group on Facebook.

If you missed reunion like I did or were too busy enjoying the incredible weather to attend the ’01 author panel, you may not have heard two classmates published books this summer. Tara Dairman’s third novel, Stars So Sweet, was published by Putnam/Penguin in July. I’m a Gladys Gatsby fan and will dig into this one shortly. Meanwhile, I’ve also ordered Minh Le’s Let Me Finish!—out since June—andcan’t wait to read it with my 2-year-old. Llama Llama has been on heavy rotation in our house for months now, so we’re ready to mix things up a little.

Congratulations to Carrie Hoverman Colla, who gave birth to her third child, Chloe, on April 30. Carrie said, “She attended reunion with us and enjoyed the festivities!” I’m not sure who’s more impressive, Carrie or Chloe!

This is my final column, as my term has come to an end, and Rachel Milstein Sondheimer will take over from here. Thank you, Rachel! And thanks so much to all of you for making this a fun gig. I’ll miss all the notes, so please do keep in touch, and enjoy the last of summer!
