1995

Believe it or not, the planning for our 10th year reunion is starting to take shape! Yes, I recognize that we all left Hanover a while ago, but almost 10 years ago?! It does not seem possible. If you want to participate in planning the reunion weekend, contact Kaja Schuppert at kaja.k.schuppert.95@alum.dartmouth.org.

Susan (LoCurto) Willison sent me an e-mail from Amsterdam, saying that she, husband Geoffrey Willison and their two girls are going to be living there for the next year to 18 months. Any Dartmouth alums living in or passing through Amsterdam should contact her at susanlwillison @hotmail.com. The Willisons have been living in Amsterdam since December 2003 and are having a great time traveling as much as possible. Susan says that Cara (3.5 years) and Morgan (1.5 years) are good little travelers. Susan also wrote me news of other '95s. Nicole Palczer and Chase Arnold were married last June in Mattapoissett, Massachusetts, at Chases family's home. And Alicia Abell married Will Peppo (Duke '96) in May of last year in Alicia's hometown of Chevy Chase, Maryland. Susan says that both weddings were just beautiful and littered with Dartmouth '95s. Susan says she's going through a bit of with drawal because she enjoyed being a full-time bridesmaid! Nicole and Chase live in N.Y.C. and Alicia and Will are living in Boston. Susan also wrote that Laurie (Lewis) and Jon Shapiro just had their second child, a boy named Max Alexander. They already have a daughter, Julia, who is 2.5 years old. The Shapiros still live in N.Y.C., where Laurie works in recruiting for Deloitte & Touche and Jon works at Goldman Sachs.

Jennifer (Lasky) Morvan wrote that she and husband Yann are the proud parents of Sophie Anne Caroline Morvan, born February 3 at Yale New Haven Hospital. Prior to Sophie's birth Jen was working as an interior designer for an architectural firm in New Haven, Connecticut. Jen has been working with this firm since finishing her studies in architectural history at Yale. She says that she is now at home, pursuing a few smaller design projects on her own. This past summer husband Yann moved from his job with AIG in N.Y.C. to work as a marketing manager a bit closer to home. Jen says that during her pregnancy she was able to touch base with quite a few '95s, including Leah (Cummings) and Larry Breckenridge, who visited New England this past fall with their two daughters, Nora (3) and Julia (1). Leah and Larry still live in Colorado, where Leah is pursuing a masters degree in counseling and Larry works in the mining industiy, requiring frequent trips to Guatemala. Jen writes that Molly McDougal is attending law school in Boston while Tamara Busch is practicing law in Greenwich and Stamford, Connecticut, and is now also a proud homeowner. Heather (Koop) and Stewart Fulton were married in September 2001, and are living in Bedford, New Hampshire, where Stewart is a medical resident. Elisabeth (Smith) and Rob Parrott are living in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Rob is a doctoral candidate in the physics department at Harvard University. Liz and Rob also have two daughters, Hannah and Emma. Elsa (Brooke Brightley) and Mark Woodall are living in Fairfax Station, Virginia, with two daughters, Phoebe (3 years) and Leyton (1 year). Elsa is working part time as an attorney from home, where she also home-schools her children. Lastly, Tamara Norman Smith, now a creative memories consultant, is living in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband, Chris, and their two daughters, Katya (3 years) and Natalia (1 year).

Thanks for your news this issue! I'm looking forward to receiving more of it for next time.
