Married on June 28, 1969 in Danbury, NH
How did you meet?
The head of Dick's House was a close friend of my family's and the physician caring for Jo who was in Dick's House going on two months, recuperating from multiple surgeries post-motorcycle accident on the Green. He thought we should meet since we were both going to be starting at Dartmouth Medical School in the fall.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
A week long solo canoe trip from Hanover to Northampton with our dog.
What are you each up to now?
I am retired, having given up clinical care as a pediatric emergency medicine physician, but continuing my academic work, research and advocacy with national and international committees in cardiac arrest and drowning prevention. Hiking and skiing weekly. After retiring as a joint replacement orthopedist 5 years ago, Jo continues to cycle daily—logging more than 10,000 miles a year—organize several biking groups, care for his garden, and now be master chef in our kitchen. Together, we take a weekly Italian class to prepare for our annual time worshipping Italian food, friends, and roads. Best times are helping our kids (Margot '99, Kate '01, Bing '05) with the grandkids or home remodels, sharing vacations with them, but especially learning from them.
Married on July 12, 1975 at the Church of Christ at Dartmouth College with a reception in Alumni Hall at the Hopkins Center
How did you meet?
We met at a party at Theta Delta Chi. The party celebrated the end of two-a-day practices for the football team. It was the Saturday night before Freshman Orientation began for Judy. We did not start to date until Winter Carnival of Judy’s freshman year.
What is your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
Winter Carnival of 1974. It was a perfect winter weekend for Carnival that year—crystal clear blue skies, crisp and cold, and tons of snow on the ground. We danced, we went to the ski jumping competition held at the ski jump on the golf course, we skated on the rink on the Green, we ate dinner by the fireplace at Casque and Gauntlet. It was perfect!
What are you up to now?
Tom is an attorney specializing in Trusts and Estates. Judy is a retired teacher; she also worked in educational administration. We have three grandchildren and another is on the way. We are involved in several volunteer activities in the community, and we love to travel. We play tennis and bike to stay fit; Tom also plays ice hockey. Judy rings handbells. We love entertaining and hosting Dartmouth student-athletes at our home in Hanover and at our cottage on Goose Pond.
Married on September 3, 1977 at Rollins Chapel, with a reception at the DOC House
How did you meet?
We met in 1975 through skiing at the Dartmouth Skiway. Bruce was on the ski team, and Kim taught at the Ski School and ran ski races for the DOC Winter Sports Division. Bruce was lucky to have his first year at Tuck while Kim was a senior.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
A favorite memory was camping on top of the old ski jump on the golf course. It was foggy the next morning and we couldn’t see the ground, but we could hear the lawnmowers on the golf course. The top of the ski jump later was the location of Bruce’s bachelor party!
What are you up to now?
We recently celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary by skiing in New Zealand. We live in Seattle and enjoy the mountains and water for outdoor recreation: skiing, hiking, and kayaking. Look for us most of the winter skiing at Whistler-Blackcomb, BC.
Married on May 25, 1979 at the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge in North Woodstock, NH
How did you meet?
This is subject to debate.
ALAN: First Saturday in May 1975. Phi Psi was having a Kentucky Derby party featuring the lamest version of mint juleps imaginable. I believe we used powdered mint (yeech!). At one point in the festivities I found myself listening intently to a freshman from Louisville, sporting a most impressive Afro, explaining the recipe for a proper mint julep, including how to bruise the mint leaves with an oak mallet. I subsequently learned that I did not make much of an impression on that occasion.
JOYCE: This is substantially true, but this year will be our 39th anniversary anyway.
What is your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
ALAN: Hard to say. Sitting next to each other in Meteorology class during the summer of 1976. (Few notes were taken.) Reuniting for winter term 1977 after a term apart. Being caught in an early morning fire alarm at North Mass, then an all-women’s dorm.
JOYCE: I loved meteorology. I ended up zigzagging from learning about weather into studying J.M.W. Turner’s landscapes and seascapes; a very romantic quarter altogether. But I went to my 40th reunion last year, and my former dorm mates still remembered that fire alarm.
What are you each up to now?
Alan and Joyce have lived in Louisville, Kentucky since 1985, and don’t miss a Louisville women’s basketball game. Joyce is a Professor in the English Department of the University of Kentucky, and lectures on race, gender and ethnicity in Renaissance Drama. Alan is a transactional attorney at Frost Brown Todd, a large regional law firm and is learning how to be a cryptocurrency lawyer. Our daughter Lily works for a non-profit rehabilitating injured birds of prey and is a certified falconer.
Married on February 12, 1983 in Easton, PA – the weekend of a huge snowstorm!
How did you meet?
Met at Tuck – first fell in love studying marketing together!
What is your favorite Dartmouth memory?
One great memory was walking across the Green with snow on the ground and the Christmas tree lit up – and being buzzed by a guy on a bike who yelled “no PDA!” at us. We fell to the ground laughing!
What are you up to now?
We live in Millis, MA, with four kids (31, 29, 25, 23), the youngest of whom, Kate, is a Dartmouth ’16 and getting her Masters at Thayer. Life is good.
Married on August 12, 1989 in Los Angeles, CA
How did you meet?
Although we were both from Michigan (Tim/Detroit, Therese/Lansing) AND both lived in the Choates (Tim/Little, Therese/Cohen) during the 1975-76 year, we actually met through the Native American Program. When I met Therese, she was going out with another NAD student who had been one of my best friends freshman year! I was visiting campus during winter 1977 during one of my “off” terms while becoming an independent student.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
There are so many – walking through the Bema late at night to the NAD house – Therese leading me into trees because I can’t see ANYTHING at night! The huge snowstorm we had that shut the college down winter term. Long walks by the Connecticut river. The Faculty suppers (and post-supper disco!) at the NAD House.
What are you each up to now?
First and foremost, we are both busy looking after our autistic son Clinton James Craig, who just turned 27 on February 7. Therese continues her work training support staff and parents in Applied Behavior Analysis therapy for children on the autism spectrum through the Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center at Rutgers University. After getting my JD/MBA at Stanford in 1989, we decamped to NYC, and have stayed in the NYC metropolitan area (suburban NJ) ever since. I practiced entertainment Law in NYC at firms and in-house for 20 years, and now have my own practice here in Maplewood, NJ. Therese also spends a lot of time as the local “Fairy Trail Queen,” building natural habitats for the tiny creatures in the local South Mountain Reservation. She has been featured in the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine, as well as the New York Times, USA Today, Reader’s Digest and countless others. Google her!
Married in Yarmouth, ME, on October 20, 1984
How did you meet?
We did not meet as undergrads, although we did have mutual friends. (David was a senior when Cheryl was a freshman.)
We met in the fall of 1982 when Cheryl was working in the Admissions Office and David had returned to Hanover to do graduate work at the Thayer School.
Maybe TMI, but here is the story… told by DVW:
I was coaching the women’s rugby club (which I had founded and coached as an undergrad in 1978), and was driving out to practice. I stopped at a corner as Cheryl was running by with her friend, Prof. David Kastan, who had recently started dating my sister Susan ’77. David K and Susan had met at an alumni event in California, where Susan worked for the Campaign for Dartmouth in San Francisco. At Susan’s urging, I had met David K for a beer earlier that week, so David introduced Cheryl and me briefly, then suggested to Cheryl during their run that she and I would make a good couple. Cheryl was bold enough to call me a few days later to see if I wanted to go out to dinner, but I had friends coming to visit for the weekend, so I invited her to join us for dinner where I was house-sitting in Vermont. We had a nice time despite Cheryl’s lingering laryngitis from a cold.
Our second date was at Carpenter Street restaurant, now Carpenter & Main. One of our early dates, I recall, was pond hockey on Occom Pond.
BTW: Susan and David Kastan were married the following year, and are since divorced and both re-married. We are still good friends with David Kastan and Susan, of course.
After I finished my graduate thesis, I was offered a job in Portland, ME. Cheryl and I commuted back and forth between Portland and Hanover on weekends for the better part of a year. When we decided to get married, she moved to Maine. We had plenty of Dartmouth people in the wedding party, including Hope Wernick Wigmore ’82, Phil Odence ’79, Libby Roberts ’79, Jennifer Hughes ’79, and Bob Hill ’80.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
Tough one. We’ve spent a lot of time in Hanover.
Watching our daughter, Rosa, enjoy Dartmouth as a student for 4 years, including playing rugby, then her graduation in June 2012. One of our favorite moments was when Cheryl played in the women’s rugby alumnae game against Rosa, who tackled her mom to rousing cheers from the fans, including her dad, the former coach.
What are you up to now?
We still live in Maine, and have two children, Rosa (Dartmouth ’12) and Garrett (Amherst ’15). Cheryl is Marketing Director for BerryDunn, a CPA/Consulting firm in Portland, and enjoys playing women’s ice hockey. David retired from his environmental consulting work, and now teaches part-time at University of New England in Biddeford and is an outdoor writer and fly-fisherman. We go to the Dartmouth Grant several times a year in winter and summer. David co-wrote a book, The Confluence, with six Dartmouth ’79 classmates about their 20+ years of fly fishing adventures to the Dartmouth Grant. We are both active in alumni activities (e.g. we have both represented our classes on Alumni Council).
Had their initial commitment in September 1988 in Macon, GA, and were married in May 2004 in Newburyport, MA
How did you meet?
Todd saw an article in the Florida LGBT newspaper that profiled Steve as the new President of the Tampa Bay Business Guild (Tampa Bay's queer business association) which happened to mention Steve was also a member of the Class of 1980. He reached out as a fellow alum, new to the area, and the rest is happy history.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
In 2000 we went to Woodstock, Vermont for a civil union, in preparation for our second adoption. That weekend we were part of a DGALA event where we shared our stories (personal and professional) with students and other alums. Our son Greg, 4 at the time, came with us and afterward we joked that it was our John Kennedy Trip to Paris; we were the adults who accompanied Gregory to Hanover for a DGALA event. We doubt anyone there remembers what we said, but they probably remember Greg.
What are you each up to now?
Greg's finishing college, Max is in high school. Steve is Chair of the Psychology & Clinical Mental Health Counseling Department at Goddard College, and Todd is President of Cadensus Consulting and a Lecturer at Simmons School of Business.
Married on August 1, 1987 in East Hampton, NY
How did you meet?
NED: It was the fall of 1979. Minna was an incoming Freshman, and I was a second semester Junior. The term was about to start. I had returned from a year and a half away from Dartmouth. At the end of my sophomore year, I transferred to UC Berkeley and had spent the intervening year and a half taking classes and then making the money to pay for my last two years at Dartmouth. When I left Dartmouth I had not expected to return. But I did. I was running around checking in on my old friends and I knocked on Dave Bumsted's door. He answered and was incredibly shocked to see me. It was great to see him but there was this beautiful girl behind him in the room and I was distracted immediately. It was love at first sight for me. Minna wasn't interested and I'd have to wait five years before she would see me as other than her good and dependable friend. The wait was worth it!
MINNA: It was hard to miss Ned on campus with his wavy blond curls, clogs, and the gaggle of Hanover High School girls following him to and from soccer practice. (He was teaching American History to the juniors and coached JV Girls Soccer at Hanover High.) We became good friends when I signed up for Ed 20, which is the best writing course ever offered anywhere, and he was one of the tutors. Every student had to write five three-page papers on assigned topics which would be graded from 1 to 10. You had to get at least a five on the preceding paper to move on to the next one, but you could keep revising until you were given a 10. The tutors in the class worked with the professors to quickly provide detailed edits so that students could re-write until they got at least a 5 or the grade they wanted. No matter how on top of things you were, everyone was behind by the end of the term. I had good solid re-writes on two of the three papers I had due but the last one was refusing to fit onto three pages and I needed to be done so I could study for finals.
I looked for Ned. I knew he liked me and I thought he was kind of a pushover. I found him and gave him my papers. “Looks good,” he said. “Except for this one. Is this a fourth page?”
“It’s three sentences over…that’s okay right?”
“Yeah, it’s fine.” He smiled. “I’ll just take these three and hand this one back to you,” and with that he ripped off the fourth page of paper and handed it back to me. I was dumbstruck. "This is my conclusion.” I fanned the air with the page.
“Well then you’d better figure out how to get it onto page three.” Again with the smile. I snatched the other three pages from his hand and stormed back to my dorm as he called after me, “You can do this.”
Pushover my ass.
We didn’t actually date at Dartmouth. We were moving in different circles but we were good friends. And we stayed in touch. Actually he stayed in touch. I was kind of a nightmare.
NED: So a year after she graduates, she’s in New York and I’m in Connecticut. I call her about a million times and she goes out to dinner with me twice. Then Minna meets my sister on a train and calls me out of the blue. Our last dinner at a disco-sushi bar was so loud that my ears were ringing for two days and I decided that I was done chasing her. It had taken me months to get her to go to dinner with me so when she called and I asked her to go skiing that weekend, it was kind of a joke; I wasn’t really serious. In fact, I was actually going with someone else. Someone I’d been seeing.
I’m not proud of this.
Minna came skiing. I never called the girl I was originally going with. When I did finally write her, I apologized for being the world’s biggest jerk but the truth was that I knew this girl was the one and that this was my chance and I took it.
MINNA: I did nothing to deserve this guy. But we’ve been married for thirty years last August. Go figure.
What are you up to now?
NED: I have spent the past 30 years working in administration for UCLA, The Dalton School, and most currently The Branson School. I've been blessed to do what I love for most of my career. Beyond my day job I've sat on the Board of Trustees for a number of independent schools while also contributing back through my volunteer work, mostly in public schools. Minna and I have split our time between New York and California for the past 30 years. We have three children: Dashiell, Belmont, and Zyla. Our family has been the center of our life. We are preparing to send Zyla off to Dartmouth in the fall, a bittersweet moment for all of us. We're happy she will get to experience Dartmouth and sad to end this chapter of our life.
MINNA: I still don’t really know what I do for a living.
Married on August 14, 1982 in Saugus, MA
How did you meet?
We met freshman year through a classmate who was on my freshman trip who was living in Bob's dorm, but we didn't get to really know each other very well until we took an art class (Drawing) together during our sophomore summer.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
The Dartmouth graduations of our three children, Joe '10, Jimmy '12, and Kelly '17; and having the opportunity to experience Dartmouth again through them, especially with Joe and Jim playing on the Dartmouth Men's hockey team and Kelly acting, writing, and directing productions at the Hopkins Center.
What are you up to now?
Bob is in his 21st season as the Head Men's Hockey Coach at Dartmouth. I am working as the Interim Director of Lifelong Connections and Professional Programs in the Dartmouth Alumni Relations Office.
Married on October 9, 1982 in Levittown, NY
How did you meet?
We met on Jamie's fist day at Dartmouth Medical School—one of our hall-mates was having a birthday party at a bar in town and we both went. When he heard I was from Long Island he asked if I knew his old roommate, also from LI, and it turned out to be my neighbor from all of childhood. It was amazing we hadn't met before!
What is your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
I have so many great Dartmouth memories of things we did together: watching hockey (that would not be Jamie's favorite!), walking though campus in the snow and in the spring, going out though an ice storm to get groceries to make cookies, doing our clinical rotations together (especially Tuba City), and finally graduating together—what a great day.
What are you up to now?
Jamie is now working as a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia and I have a private pediatric practice in Swarthmore, PA. Our three kids are grown and will hopefully be leaving the nest sometime soon, with the last one finishing college this year. And with 3 kids with theater degrees we mostly see a lot of theater in our spare time!
Married on October 24, 1987 in Bryn Mawr, PA
How did you meet?
Curt’s brother, Keith Tu’87, was my close friend at Tuck, and he introduced us at a tailgate party before a Dartmouth football game.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
Curt proposed to me on Valentine’s Day during Winter Carnival Weekend in 1987 at the top of Bartlett Tower, giving me an emerald and diamond (green and white) engagement ring!
What are you each up to now?
After decades of dreaming about returning to Hanover, we moved to the Upper Valley a year and a half ago. Our whole family is here as Ali ’13 is at Tuck and Eric ’16 recently graduated and completed Tuck Bridge. Curt is coaching football at Dartmouth and I am working with MIT and the Gates Foundation on a technology to eradicate malnutrition in the developing world.
Married on December 7, 1985 in Latham, NY
How did you meet?
On a train from Paris to Toulouse at the start of our FSP program in the fall of 1981
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
Too many to choose from—midnight punches, battle of the bands, formals, breakfasts at Lou’s and a lot more free time than we’ve had since!
What are you up to now?
After many years in financial services, Marty joined the American Red Cross about five years ago. I retired from McKinsey & Co. last fall and am doing board work and enjoying being home more!
Married on June 25, 1988 in a Navajo wedding ceremony in Aunt Mary’s hogan in Navajo Mountain, UT
How did you meet?
MAE: We met during Sophomore Summer at a birthday party for Lisa Richardson ’86. The rage at the time was Prince’s movie and album, “Purple Rain.” My favorite song at the time was “When Doves Cry.” When the song came on, I had to find a dance partner, quick! I looked around, and saw a guy talking to Lisa, and grabbed him. He willingly came and danced with me. After the dance, I thanked him and walked away. Weeks later, I recognized John as Lisa’s friend from the party, and re-introduced myself. We soon they became good friends.
JOHN: As I have often told my kids, it is good thing we started off as friends, or I would have surely ruined the relationship.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
We really enjoyed working together as co-presidents of the Tucker Foundation's Interracial Concerns Committee. We developed and hosted the “Approach” film/forum series which brought diverse members of the Dartmouth community together to discuss difficult race issues of the time. It was a particularly special moment when we were chosen as co-winners of the Tucker Foundation’s award.
What are you each up to now?
MAE: I am a full-time stay-at-home mom with our two remaining kids at home, and manage a few rental properties for our family. I continue to volunteer for Dartmouth as our class secretary and second vice-president of the Association of Alumni Executive Committee, and I am on the Native American Visiting Committee. I guest lecture at California State Long Beach, where I used to work as a student advisor, and teach Navajo Language in the Orange County and Los Angeles areas, when I can.
JOHN: I am a founding partner of a 50-attorney national business trial firm that devotes a substantial portion of its time to high impact public cases. I have enjoyed balancing being an involved dad for four children with meaningful work for my community.
Married in 1992 in Massachusetts
How did you meet?
Ours is another side to the Dartmouth Love Story. We actually never met at Dartmouth. If there’s a film to rewind somewhere, we’d love to see it! With mutual friends, one would think that at some time our paths would have crossed during those college years; but, if they did, our meeting wasn’t memorable! Mike likes to joke that we would have run away from each other, the college athlete and the Dartmouth oddball.
As I’m sure happens with many Dartmouth couplings, we were introduced by Dartmouth friends a couple of years after graduation. Our matchmakers were Kara Gruver ’86 and Jamie Gruver ’86 (who are a true Dartmouth Love Story), who had hosted a get-together on Lake Sunapee. Among the guests was also our mutual good friend Dan Katzir ’86. Kara was Becky’s sorority sister (Delta Phi Epsilon) and both she and Dan had gone LSA to Mexico with Mike. We were married in ’92 in Massachusetts the day after Mike graduated from HBS and I had graduated from BC with a MEd. The above picture was one taken on one of our annual revolving-city reunions with Kara, Jamie, and Dan in Austin.
What are you each up to now?
Fast forward: Mike, the intrepid entrepreneur, is running a company he founded, Alumni Ventures Group, which manages venture capital funds for alumni of 13 schools, including Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and of course Dartmouth, which was the first fund launched. Becky is transitioning. With one more high school graduation in June, she’s losing her full-time job as homemaker to Zach (Skidmore ’16), Rachel (Middlebury ’18), and Reese (Vassar ’22) and hopes to spend more time pursuing her other passion for family research. Family and Dartmouth is in her blood as evidenced by her other Dartmouth Love Stories—sister Pam Lower Bass ’85 and Barry Bass ’85, as well as cousin Ginny Lower Moylan ’83 and Bill Moylan Tu’81.
How did you meet?
Rich and I met during reunions weekend in Hanover in June 2007. We both were attending a gathering hosted by DGALA, Dartmouth's LGBTQIA+ alum group, at Canoe Club on South Main Street. The DGALA group was gathered in a small room just off the main dining room, and I remember exactly where Rich was sitting when I first saw him. We started talking and ended up having a great and memorable night on the town, ending up in Rich's house basement, where he drank me under the table doing tequila shots. That is when I first learned that Rich is not a man to be underestimated! We were friends for a few years before we started dating in 2009, and I think that friendship has been a great foundation of our relationship.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
We return to Hanover each June for the annual DGALA mini-reunion that runs concurrently with class reunions, and of course this trip reminds us of the weekend that we met, and we always have a great time. Also, Martha Beattie and her team at Alumni Relations have done an amazing job with the "On the Green!" programming to make this weekend a real celebration of the entire Dartmouth community, and it is wonderful and still slightly astonishing to be a gay couple in Hanover and feel very much a part of that community. The photo taken in front of Streeter Hall was taken on one of these occasions early in our relationship.
What are you each up to now?
I am managing director and counsel at the Guggenheim Museum, and Rich is an advertising account director. I am also president of DGALA and co-vice president of my class. We both love to travel and are happiest being on the road together—the tropical photo was taken during a recent trip to Argentina, near Iguazu Falls. The Dartmouth apparel speaks for itself, we are proud of our school and very grateful that it brought us together!
Married in 2007 in the Berkshires
How did you meet?
In line for cocktails at the Top of the Hop during the 2004 DGALA reunion.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
See above!
What are you each up to now?
We live and work near Boston, chasing a 10-year-old and a 6-year-old around.
Married on May 6, 2000 in Veree’s hometown, Albuquerque, NM
How did you meet?
We met during the ’93 Orientation Week in September 1989 in Woodward when Seth Alpert ’93 brought Bert over to Veree’s dorm to introduce us. Seth and Bert were both living in Topliff on the same floor and formed an instant friendship. Seth and Veree had met on our freshman trip up at Mousilake a few days earlier introduced by Tim Reidy ’93. Tim and Veree had been in school together since age five in Albuquerque.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
BERT: We had a very hot and steamy evening at her Delta Gamma formal—it was about 90 degrees and my general discomfort in the heat made for a less than enjoyable evening. I thought I ruined the evening and tried to make a graceful exit when it was over. I never thought we’d be married 10 years later.
VEREE: Mine was having dinner together one night on a date at the Hanover Inn’s restaurant over burgers. He was very funny, charming, and cute!
What are you up to now?
Bert is an anesthesiologist and runs his own private practice where he specializes in orthopedic spinal surgeries. Veree is a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley working with high-net-worth individuals and business owners. We live in Dallas with our 14-year-old daughter, Ellie, who is an accomplished American Saddlebred equestrian.
Married in June 1997 in New Jersey
How did you meet?
We met in Hitchcock freshman fall. She was on the 2nd floor, and I was on the 4th floor. I remember a striking women who had the same computer set-up that I had. She seems to remember someone who had to keep asking how to set up a Mac.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
Several memories shine through the fog of time and nostalgia: a very foggy night on the green, a presentation by the creators of School House Rock, and Cafe Buon Gustaio. A more recent event also struck us at reunion. A friend, who had also met her spouse in Hanover, pointed to our son with a wink and observed, "Do you suppose that he is five years away from meeting his wife?"
What are you up to now?
We're now living with our 13-year-old son, Eddie, in Orinda, CA. Jenn, ever loyal, has been with Chubb since we graduated, and is now a Senior Vice President in San Francisco. I work for Caravan Health to help physicians improve quality and reimbursement.
Married on July 2, 1993 in Riverside, CT. At the wedding, 38% of the guest list was made up of Dartmouth alumni. All told, 23 alumni celebrated, including Susan’s brother David Owens ’88 and Rebecca Smith Owens ’91, who had married the preceding summer.
How did you meet?
Dan was the AC of Topliff/New Hamp our sophomore year. Susan moved into Topliff during Winter Term, and Dan stopped by as the ResLife Welcome Wagon. We had a great time talking, and Susan thought there might be something cooking—until Dan mentioned he was still dating his Home-Town Honey, a student at Smith. (Susan thought Dan’s loyalty was attractive, even if he wasn’t currently available.) Nonetheless, we became friends, and would go out on double dates when Dan’s girlfriend was in Hanover (we actually still have a canceled check from a dinner at Panda House where Susan reimbursed Dan for her and her date’s meal).
During junior year, Susan was running GreenCorps and hired Dan to help her manage it, and we spent more time together. That was when Dan began to be torn between loyalty to his HTH and his feelings for Susan. Susan did an exchange at Stanford during senior year and meanwhile Dan broke up with his HTH. We BlitzMailed while Susan was in California and sparks flew when Susan returned for graduation. Twenty-five years later, we’re a different kind of Senior Week Statistic.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
During Senior Week, we hiked up Moosilauke with several other ’92s. Just as we started down, Susan sprained her ankle. Dan helped Susan get down the mountain, allowing for some quality time together (and preparing him for a similar incident in Peru about 10 year later). That led to dinner at Peter Christian’s, with Dan feeling confident enough about how things were going to order extra garlic bread.
What are you each up to now?
After bouncing around to Chicago, Baltimore, Boston, and Washington, DC, obtaining further credentials, we have lived in San Francisco since 2005, and we have a summer home on Fishers Island, New York.
We are the proud parents of Gracie, age 10, who is a budding musician (jazz vocals, violin, piano, steel drums), wordsmith, and scientist. She sang the alma mater for President Jim Kim on his final visit to San Francisco a few years ago. (No pressure!)
Susan is a professor on the faculty at University of California San Francisco, practicing at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center in primary care pediatrics and medical informatics. Susan has overcome some recent health challenges, and looks forward to getting back into biking, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
Dan is a partner in a boutique law firm, with offices in Washington, DC, and San Francisco, practicing export controls and economic sanctions law. He traded in his string bass for a tenor ukulele, and enjoys accompanying Gracie, as she is not yet embarrassed by it.

Hank is working in medicine, ranching, farming, real estate investment, and development. We also chase around two boys, Henry, age 12, and Matthew, age 9, plus 3 dogs. We enjoy hunting, skiing, hiking, and birding in our free time.
Married in June 2003 at the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge North Woodstock, NH
How did you meet?
We were on the same trip section for Freshman Trips. We ended up on mattresses right next to each other in the Choates lounge, the night before we all headed off. Mike, never one for sleep, spent most of the night talking to the amazing woman who just happened to be lying next to him. We spent half the night talking and getting to know each other, making an instant connection on our very first night at college.
Although we did different hiking trips, we met back up at Moosilauke and quickly became best friends when we got back to campus. We didn’t actually start dating until winter term of our sophomore year (because, you know, college) but we have been almost sickeningly inseparable ever since.

Our favorite memories are the peaceful walks we used to take in the area by the observatory and the BEMA. We were in love with how many stars you could see, and realizing that on a clear night you could actually see the Milky Way.
Well, either that or the efforts of Mike and his roommates to use the super suck to try to vacuum their beds and enormous mess 5 minutes before Mike’s parents arrived for Freshman Weekend, all while trying not to knock over the pyramid of aluminum cans that (no exaggeration) almost reached the ceiling.
What are you each up to now?
We have put a lot of distance between us and Dartmouth—we are a full 15 minutes from the Green if you get stuck behind someone going below the speed limit. Mike develops wind energy projects in Maine and New Hampshire. Meg feels lucky to be at home with our baby daughter and our son.

Married on August 15, 2004 on Sennebec Lake in Appleton, ME
How did you meet?
We met sophomore winter at a Jack-O-Lantern humor magazine meeting. Scott introduced himself with, "My name is Scott and I'm a nice guy," and Anita thought, Oh my god, what a cheeseball. Turns out he IS a nice guy. After Anita conducted some un-subtle stalking of Scott at his fraternity, we started dating in January of 1998. Our first photo is from an AD semi-formal in 1999 and our current photo is back in the Great Hall of AD.
What is your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
Our Dartmouth favorite memory is taking Professor Marlene Heck's Modern Architecture class together. Anita majored in psychology and Scott in physics, so this was the one and only classroom experience we shared. It changed how we saw the built environment.
What are you up to now?
20 years and four kids later, we live in White River Junction, VT. Scott is an architect and Anita is an interior designer, and we lead a studio called a.hamalainen design. When not designing, we're overly involved in Cub Scouts.

How did you meet?
Jason and I met in Lone Pine Tavern (RIP) during our sophomore year. We actually got married before graduation (in November 2000), much to the shock of our friends and professors! I graduated early, and our oldest daughter Micaela was born in January 2002. She came to our commencement ceremony and our little family was featured on the graduation video that year!
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
In recent years we have taken our teenagers to homecoming weekends to inspire them to attend the Big Green when the time comes. So far it seems to be working, although they are sad that EBAs breadsticks won’t be waiting for them (aren’t we all?).
What are you up to now?
Since leaving Dartmouth we’ve continued our unconventional ways and added eight more children to our family. We now have five sons and four daughters. Jason works as an investment professional, and I will be starting medical school this summer.
Married on July 15, 2017 at the DOC House in Hanover, NH
How did you meet?
We had mutual friends. I met Boulat when I was still a senior in high school. I was coming up to Dartmouth to visit my boyfriend, and they lived in the same dorm. I remember Boulat trying to teach me how to play Mario Kart, but I couldn't get my character to move forward. It kept going backwards. We also all watched the movie The Rock together, probably 20-30 times. And our favorite card game to play as a dorm floor was Family Business. We didn't start dating until after college though.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
Boulat taught me how to cross-country ski. I remember falling on my face so many times, but he never gave up or got frustrated.
What are you each up to now?
We live in Massachusetts. I am an attribution analyst with a mutual fund company in Boston called MFS Investment Management. Boulat is a scientist with Raytheon BBN Technologies in Cambridge.

Married on June 25, 2009 in Marbletown, NY
How did you meet?
Technically, we first met at a barbeque at anthropology professor Robert Welsch’s house during our sophomore summer. It wasn’t the most romantic environment. Then later, we both spent a term in Auckland, NZ on Dartmouth’s first anthropology/linguistics foreign study program, and things worked out from there.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
During Green Key weekend of 2004, we saw our friend Cole Entress compete in a rap battle on the Tri-Kap lawn. The grass was green, the sun was shining, and Cole crushed the competition like a can of Keystone Light.

What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
Our Junior spring, Anna had a Friday midterm followed by a weekend field trip to the Maine coast for her Biodiversity class. Even though we had only been dating for a month, Ian was well acquainted with Anna's love of goat cheese—for a while, her BlitzMail reply-to was SisterhoodofGoatCheese. Anna got back to her room after the test to discover a log of goat cheese taped to the door, along with an anonymous note saying that the mystery admirer thought she'd rather celebrate with that than with champagne. Anna remembers thinking, "This guy's definitely a keeper." She snacked happily all the way up to Maine, and ever since then, April 30 has been marked on our calendars as the Goat Cheese Anniversary.
What are you each up to now?
We live in Medford, MA. Ian is a writer and editor covering the Middle East and doing university communications work. Anna is a freelance science journalist. We also
Married at the Dartmouth Outing Club House on August 19, 2017. There were more than 30 Dartmouth alumni in attendance, including Kate's grandfather, Ed Lyon ’52, and the couple’s fathers, David Bustard ’68 and Jeff Lyon ’77. Wedding photo by Jennifer McKenna Photography.
How did you meet?
We met in the Sigma Delt basement in 2013. Kate was back on campus as the NYC Alumni Council representative and Chris was working on his MEM degree at Thayer. Our mutual friend Eli Mitchell ’10 connected us over a pong table. We dated long distance for over a year before Kate moved up to Boston, where Chris had moved after graduating from the MEM program.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
We got engaged on Mount Moosilauke in September 2016 on a cloudy and wet day. Visibility at the summit was non-existent. Chris proposed and Kate said yes, we took some pictures, and headed back down!

How did you meet?
We met through friends while Darcy was at the Medical School and I was working in the Dartmouth Admissions Office.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
We have so many, and the College continues to be a very special place for us. Our wedding and our son's christening in Rollins Chapel are favorites. It was also very special to be the officiant at the wedding of my cousin, Rosi Kerr ’97 at the Dartmouth Organic Farm. From Homecomings and Winter Carnivals to DGALA Reunions and spending time outdoors, we have so many great shared Dartmouth memories.
What are you each up to now?
We live in Coral Gables, FL. Darcy is a physician and I am CEO of the Joyce Ivy Foundation. We love adventuring with our two-year-old, William, and are expecting twins in March. It's hard to resist the pull of Dartmouth, and we'll be returning to Hanover in the fall and Darcy will join the Pathology Department at Dartmouth-Hitchcock.
Married on November 11,
How did you meet?
My freshman year, I got an email from Nick that he wanted to meet more people from Thailand on campus (there aren't many of us) since he's Thai American. We met up a couple of times throughout college but I always thought he was such a frat boy and actually once said to myself, "I would never date this guy." Famous last words! We started getting to know each other a lot better after we both graduated and I realized we actually got along really well!
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
We didn't date in college and never really spent much time together on campus. I remember the first time we met, we ate taco hats at Food Court! In the spring of my senior year we bumped into each other during Green Key Weekend when Nick was visiting as an alumnus from Boston. Had we not coincidentally run into each other then, we would likely have lost touch altogether, so I suppose it was meant to be! We started spending a lot more time with each other after that.
What are you each up to now?
We've been living in Singapore for the past eight years (10 years for Nick) and have been married for more than seven years! We have a three-year-old daughter, Nora, and are expecting another one in March. Nick works at UBS, and I am working at a local start-up.
Married in Brooklyn, NY, on May 25, 2014 with Professor Steve Swayne officiating!
How did you meet?
We were introduced by a mutual friend (Mirelle Phillips ’07) when Rachel was running a lecture series of a local neighborhood bar (think TED talks for the not-yet-famous...). Rachel had a last-minute cancellation and Mirelle thought Brent might be a great fit for the series. It turns out he was a great fit in the series and her life.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
We are constantly amazed that we do not recall ever meeting at Dartmouth despite overlapping by two years and spending too much time at the Hop (she made theater, he played music). We have a couple dozen mutual college friends between us. And our houses were about 100 yards away—Sigma Delt and Panarchy. So we are sure there is some shared memory of a lovely party or concert we both attended at the same time—but we don't know it!
What are you each up to now?
Rachel is a producer of theater and live events, and will soon begin a new role as Artistic Producer at WP Theater in New York. Brent is the deputy director at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts and wrapping up his PhD in Musicology.

How did you meet?
Ben and I met during freshman week before classes started. I went on a DOC trip with Mike Hartwick, a freshman hockey player. Before going out one night, he brought me to pregame in Ben’s dorm room. We spent the first few weeks of school hanging out and going on a few dates to FoCo. Neither of us wanted a relationship at that point, so things ended and we were friends for almost two years.
The first day of sophomore summer, Ben called me as I was driving up to school and offered to help me move in. He did, then we went out to dinner at Molly’s. We had a bunch of $2 margaritas and then played quite a few games of pong. We have been together ever since.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
We both played winter sports, so we usually had Mondays off. Most Mondays we would go play pick up hockey on Occom Pond. Ben would always set me up with passes in front of the net so I could score goals.
What are you each up to now?
Ben plays ice hockey for the New Jersey Devils and I raise our two daughters, Lila and June.

How did you meet?
We met during my freshman fall. Our mutual friend, David Ansdell ’06, put together a pong game with Lauren Blum, my friend and roommate, as our fourth. We started dating that spring quarter, and Keith embarked on a futile journey to improve my pong skills.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
Our first date was in the spring of 2004. We ate lunch at Collis (where my friends "coincidentally" strolled by to say hi) and the weather was so great that afternoon, that we decided to extend our date and take a canoe out on the river. We named our son, River, after that date!
What are you each up to now?
After Dartmouth, we worked in New York and then we moved to Chicago, where Keith attended Kellogg and I attended Northwestern Law. We now enjoy a much warmer climate in Honolulu, Hawaii, where we live with our two-year-old son, River, and two dogs. Keith works in management for Hawaiian Airlines, and I practice environmental law at a law firm in Honolulu. We enjoyed taking River to Hanover during my 10-year Reunion this past June!

On our DOC Trip (canoeing)
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
Has to be our DOC canoe trip—when we decided (without knowing it) that we would be partners for all of life’s adventures. We set out on that wonderful journey as great friends and realized a more profound love after graduation. Along with the chandeliers from our wedding ceremony, a painting of a campfire at Lake Umbagog—the highlight of our trip—hangs in the distillery (see below) as a tribute to where it all began.

How did you meet?
We met in 2006 when Matt first came to a Monday Night Dinner at Amarna. Meg was already a member of Amarna and Matt joined soon after. We were friends for several years, and started dating in the fall of 2008.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
We tried to cook dinner together at Amarna as one of our earliest dates. We ended up starting a fire in the kitchen that we had to put out with the fire extinguisher. The fire department came and got it all sorted out, but it was pretty embarrassing. We ended up having a (very late) dinner of pizza at Ramunto's. We are much better cooks now!
What are you each up to now?
We have been living in Watertown, MA, since summer 2016. We have a wonderful daughter, Cora, who brings us joy (and a new challenge) every day. Meg is a scientist working at a startup developing new cancer treatments. Matt finished law school in 2016 and currently works at the Massachusetts Attorney General's office. We enjoy hiking, skiing, brewing beer, and playing board games together.

Married on September 3, 2017 in Pittsfield, VT (only 45 minutes from Dartmouth!)
How did you meet?
Jon caught my eye freshman year in Intro to CS, but the timing wasn't quite right. But then, in our sophomore fall, a functional programming course and difficult problem sets brought us back together. I was immediately struck by Jon’s generosity when he put aside his assignment and stayed up all night to help me with mine.
Despite lots of mutual friends and a shared Econ major, we interacted only in passing over the next three years, until Jon requested help on his econ paper from his TA, who happened to be me! Talking about a paper turned into talking about life, which somehow turned into Jon asking, "Do you want to be roommates in Boston after graduation?" and I, although shocked, quickly replied, “Sure!"
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
Jon agreed to accompany me to my sorority formal senior spring as friends (there was the “Only House Rule” after all - Jon had sent an email to me and our other roommate-to-be prohibiting any intra-roommate romance). As the dance approached however, reality set in and I proposed an alternative plan: “The thought of changing out of my sweats and into a dress sounds really terrible. How about we go to Gusanoz and get burritos instead?” I had never been one to give up sweats for a dress, let's be honest. Jon couldn't hide his excitement. Who chooses a tie over guacamole in a red plastic basket?
What are you each up to now?
In addition to being life partners, Jon and I have also been business partners over the last several years—together, we have helped launch and run the finance and operations for five biotech companies co-founded by Dartmouth professor Tillman Gerngross. And now, since the wedding, we've decided to take some extended time to travel and explore what's next. We recently got back from our honeymoon sailing to Antarctica, hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, and exploring Iguazu Falls and next we will be embarking on the Trans Siberian Railroad and visiting remote cultures across Asia. We plan to document our travels and thoughts on our new blog we are launching:

What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
It has to be Sophomore Summer. There is something so awesome about having campus to yourselves as a class and being outside all the time. Nat and I would go with our friends on random adventures to the Ledges and down to the river with the Psi U dog, Argus. We also did a big group trip to the beach that I know was a favorite weekend for a lot of us. We are both still close friends with everyone we spent time with that summer.
What are you each up to now?
We recently moved from New York City to Washington, DC, where Nat is at Goldman Sachs and I am a lawyer.
Married on June 20, 2015 at the West Mountain Inn in Arlington, VT
How did you meet?
We met in our freshman dorm, Judge Hall in the River Cluster. I lived in the dorm room right above his and I could hear him play guitar through the floor! We met playing music in a band called Occam's Razor that we formed with a group of our friends. Alex also had an intro music class that required him to attend performances throughout the term and we would go together, "just as friends." We got to know each other by grabbing dinner before, going to the show and chatting in Judge afterwards.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
One of our favorite Dartmouth memories involve when we surprised each other for the other's birthday during sophomore fall and summer. For Alex's birthday year, I blitzed all his friends and surprised him with an early morning sunrise hike up the fire tower on Gile Mountain. When we got to the top, we ate bagels and drank hot chocolate while watching the sun rise above the beautiful fall foliage of New Hampshire, which was just in the process of turning. Alex returned the surprise during Sophomore Summer by surprising me with a birthday party with friends in nearby Nathan's Garden.
What are you each up to now?
We're both in Pittsburgh where Alex is a second year Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation resident at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. I am working as the Behavioral Health Program Coordinator at a federally qualified health center that offers primary healthcare services to the local community, including a significant refugee population.

We both interned for members of Congress (Blair for a Republican and Bret for a Democrat) during the spring term of our sophomore year. We participated in Dartmouth’s Civic Skills Training in DC the week before our internships began. We met during the training program and continued to spend time together and explore the city throughout the term. Eight years later, Bret proposed at the same hotel where Civic Skills Training roomed us.
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
Sophomore Summer! From swimming in the river to gazing at the stars from the Green for our Astro 3 lab, it was an amazing time.

How did you meet?
We first met in the fall of 2009 through Dartmouth Ski Patrol. Ok, full disclosure: I was a senior at the time and interviewed Luisa, then a freshman, for the organization. Luisa was somehow able to see past my orange and blue Croo hair and joined Ski Patrol. We spent that winter getting to know each other on Friday afternoon shifts at the Skiway, but didn’t start dating until the fall of 2010.

How did you meet?
We met through mutual friends at Amarna in 2010. John uncorked bottles for me while I was serving at Amarna Wine and Cheese and also helped roast apples and sausages for our Octoberfest party. Soon after, I drummed up the courage to ask him to be my date to the annual Noche Dorada celebration, and he said yes. We had a lot of fun, he ended up joining Amarna, and we have been together ever since!
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
It is hard to pick just one memory, but our favorite place was definitely in the Amarna kitchen. It is where we first spent time together and where we had our first fight (over the proper way to sanitize a counter). Most Amarna social gatherings involved homemade food, and so we really bonded over a hot stove our first year together.
What are you each up to now?
We are living in Queens, NY, where we enjoy exploring the local food scene and cooking. I am a poet and non-profit fundraising professional, and John is a corporate lawyer and fisherman.

Robbie and I both played lacrosse at Dartmouth, so we always knew each other freshman year, but didn’t really become good friends until our sophomore year. Sophomore year, a lot of our friends lived in the apartments above Murphy’s and Robbie and I lived in apartments right next to each other. We started dating our sophomore spring!
What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
Nothing beats the fall and spring at Dartmouth. Getting to be outside with everyone, cooking out, going to the football games, Homecoming and Green Key. Our senior fall, we came back to campus and had a big cookout one of the first weekends at Theta Delt before a football game. Coming back to Dartmouth always feels like coming home and we both just remember feeling so happy to be back with everyone entering into our senior year.
What are you each up to now?
We’ve been in New York City since graduation and have been living in Battery Park for the past two years, which we love. Robbie works in finance and I work in advertising.

What’s your favorite Dartmouth memory together?
The night before we graduated was very special. A bunch of friends took part in the tradition where you bring a candle to the BEMA and sing the alma mater. I remember looking up at the stars and feeling full of appreciation for this place that we had all met and loved so dearly.
What are you each up to now?
We are currently living in Bozeman, Montana. Silas was given the opportunity to ski for a professional ski team at Bridger Ski Foundation, and I run the Education Department at the Children’s Museum.
