Class Note 2010
Claire McKenna moved back to Boston in August after spending five years in San Francisco. She runs a sustainability practice at a building engineering firm and is helping to make many of the new buildings breaking ground in Boston sustainable!
Hallie Treadway is in her eighth year in China and her second year of being Hallie Whitmore. She married Ben Whitmore (“best of friends and co-laborers,” she says), in China in 2017. Bridesmaid Mariana Estevez ’11 represented Dartmouth at the wedding. Hallie recently shifted from college consulting to guidance counseling and remains active in writing, music, and things language.
Lindley Gray and Matt Driscoll got married in Woodstock, Vermont, on August 18. Among the many Dartmouth alums in attendance were Lindley’s parents, Liz Gray ’80 and Burr Gray ’79. Lindley’s godfather, Otho Kerr ’79, officiated. Rachel Gray ’15 was maid of honor, and Danny Driscoll ’14 was co-best man. The bridesmaids included Alicia Driscoll ’11, Carly Abbott, and Randi Bennett.Not to be outdone, the groomsmen included Jesse Pyeatte, Jon Carty, and Jamie Connolly. Lindley is entering her second year at Columbia Business School, and Matt works at Google in product management.
Benjy Meigs got engaged to Debra Kerr (Penn ’08, but he assures me that his Dartmouth friends still approve).
From Ted Lesher:“I got engaged to my long-time girlfriend (now fiancée!) Lauryn Kulinski who is a Georgetown ’10 but ‘honorary’ Dartmouth alum given how many alums I hang out with. Working on a wedding venue in Sonoma or Tahoe, California, for 2019.”
Chelsea Kirk: “I am the director of the Goodwill Excel Center, which is an adult charter high school in Washington, D.C. We are entering our third year in operation, and this last year we had 91 graduates! Additionally, I’m heading into my third and final year of my UPenn executive doctorate program and am working on my dissertation. I have a few Dartmouth weddings on the horizon and am always excited to see my Dartmouth friends!”
Abbe (Sokol) and James Cart are headed to Boston! After graduating from Tuck this summer, Abbe will be starting a job with Tyton Partners, a strategy consulting firm for education organizations. James will finish his duties in the Dartmouth undergraduate registrar’s office and then join her at the end of the fall.
T.J. Galiardi recently retired from a 10-year professional hockey career including seven seasons in the NHL. He has transitioned into the nutrition industry as cofounder of the plant-based sports supplement company, Beyond Food, which will be launching its first retail brand, the Doctor’s Formula, this fall.
My dear friend Cory Kendrick married Alexander Berger at the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge on July 28. Alina Plavsky and I were bridesmaids, and a whole slew of Dartmouth folk were in attendance. Cory and Alexander had a beautiful ceremony on the Leach Field; thankfully, a looming rain cloud changed course and spared us all a good drenching. We ended the night with a dance party and s’mores around the bonfire. (FYI, the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge reopened last year after renovations—worth a visit!)
Oh, great! I have space for another Jake Routhier pun-update: “Since we last saw each other, our dear friend Robin Meyers has started a last-mile delivery service using carrier pigeons. He calls it Meyers’ fliers.”
Thanks, Jake. I saw Robin at Cory’s wedding, where I learned that he moved from Cambridge, Massachusetts, last year to start his Ph.D. in genetics at Stanford. Robin has not denied or confirmed Jake’s claims.
