Class Note 2009
It is hard to believe it has been 10 years since we left Hanover! A decade out, we have lots of exciting moves, marriages, and additions to ’09 families to report.
The end of 2018 was a whirlwind for Nick Brown and his wife, Adrienne Hoarfrost ’11. They welcomed Henry Hoarfrost Brown into the world on November 11, Adrienne finished her Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina, and they moved from Durham, North Carolina, to Pennington, New Jersey, with a 5-week-old Henry in December. Whew! Come visit them if you need a pit stop in between Philly and N.Y.C. Suzanne Lehrer Dumaine is opening Three Owls Market, a market and all-day café in the West Village, this April. Dartmouth alums should stop in and say hi! Sander Duncan was married in September in northern California to Adrianne Nickerson, whom he met while working in N.Y.C. He shared, “She’s awesome. Ben Beisswenger was one of my groomsman and Alan Shanoski, Alex Olshonsky, Anthony Arch, Zach Hyatt, Peter Keshtkar ’11, Miles Suter ’11, and Doug Hayes ’08 all attended.” Ayla Glass is an associate producer on the film, Changeland (written and directed by Seth Green), which has its world premiere at the Thailand International Film Destination Festival on March 31. She also shared that Molly Hallam’s film The Mustang premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this year to rave reviews. Sophie Hood recently moved to Berkeley, California, with her partner, Matt Mukerjee ’10. She’s currently doing theater work in the area (building costumes for Berkeley Repertory Theater and California Shakespeare Theater) and hoping to open her own sewing teaching studio in the near future. Eric Kaufman and his wife, Stephanie, are relocating from New York to Austin, Texas, and would love to connect with any Dartmouth alums in the Austin area. Eric is leaving private equity to pursue entrepreneurial investing and Stephanie runs sales for real estate startup Bungalo Homes.

They can’t wait for his first trip to Hanover!Nell (Pascall) Mackenzie and her husband, Campbell, welcomed their little girl, Abigail Rose Mackenzie, into the world on the 4th of October.
