Class Note 2001
Congratulations to our ’01 newsmakers!
Robert Mirakian was named associate director of the Toledo Opera Association in March. He also began serving as music director of the Perrysburg Symphony Orchestra this past fall. Way to go, Bob! Christine Campbell shared some exciting news from afar: “I’m finishing my residency in pediatrics with an elective in Santiago, Chile, in June. Then in July I’ll start a fellowship in pediatric emergency medicine at Children’s of Alabama in Birmingham. Hooray!” With more great fellowship news, Ali Rashid wrote, “I’m about to start my last year of residency in anesthesiology in Richmond, Virginia. I accepted a position at Duke University for a fellowship in critical care/cardiac anesthesiology. I don’t head out there until July 2014, but I think I’ll miss Richmond a lot. I haven’t visited Hanover since October, but hope to make it up soon and maybe next year will be easier to have a fun travel schedule!” And Gene Long graduated from Georgetown University School of Medicine in May and will be moving to Nashville, Tennessee, soon to begin his residency in internal medicine. Earlier in the spring he took a well-deserved break to reunite with Lacary Sharpe in Augusta, Georgia, for their quadrennial trip to the Masters.
On March 25 Alyssa Rower and husband Daniel Fay had a baby boy, Oliver Thomas Fay. James Kittredge and wife Elizabeth added a healthy baby boy to their family, too, welcoming Donald Frederick Kittredge on April 3. James included some of Donald’s stats, writing, “At birth, he weighed 8 pounds and was 20 inches long.” And Lindsey (Bishop) Anderson has a new little one, as well: On April 21 she and husband Nathan welcomed Noa Elizabeth Anderson. “Noa joins big sisters Reese (3 1/2 years) and Colby (1 1/2 years), who are both very excited about (and a bit possessive of) the new addition to the family.” Jessica Morris and Dan Fossitt recently celebrated their daughter Samantha’s first birthday. They also enjoyed a visit from Lisa Emerson, Lisa’s husband, Brendan, and Lisa and Brendan’s daughters Stella and Amy. Jessica said, “The Emerson-Toch posse made a special stop in Atlanta on their southern road trip.”
The class officers have a few announcements, too. President Jane Parkin Kullmann writes, “Hey ’01s! The executive committee would love to plan some mini-reunions in your cities. Please let us know if you would be interested in a mini-reunion or if you’d like to help plan upcoming mini-reunions. Don’t be shy! We are also toying with the idea of a ‘half-reunion’ for next January to mark the halfway point between our 10th and 15th. Look for more details in the coming months.” VP Kristin Delaney and Greg Frank represented us at the first Dartmouth Club of N.Y.C. masters pong tournament in March. We cosponsored the tourney and need your help identifying other events ’01s will enjoy. Kristin invites you to join our Facebook group, Dartmouth College Class of 2001, and to contact her with your ideas. Last, but not least, treasurer Rachel Richardson reminds us the fiscal year ends on June 30, and your dues contributions and donations make it possible for us to hold events and finance projects, including our new memorial fund, as a class. For more details and to pay online, please see the “pay class dues” link at our website, www.dartmouth2001.org. You can reach any of the officers through our class e-mail address, dartmouthclass2001@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
