2003

Fantastic news this month! Ann Chang and Nathan Bender were engaged on March 11 in Paris after having dated at Dartmouth and post-graduation. Oliver Bernstein and his longtime girlfriend, Corrie, were also recently engaged. Congratulations to both couples!

A new academic center, located just north of Baker-Berry Library, has been named by a generous gift from the parents of Charlotte Haldeman. The center will hold the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding, the Fannie and Alan Leslie Center for the Humanities and the Institute for the Study of Applied and Professional Ethics.

Now that she knows what she's doing with her life (or at least the next four years), Sarah Murray wanted to report she's starting medical school at Columbia University this August. Emily Brown let me know that, "Starting in September, I will be teaching first grade in Grafton, Vermont. I'm excited about having a classroom of my own." Back in May Jeremy Skog finished his master's degree in economics at Tufts University and has now moved to Philadelphia, where he'll start studying toward a Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania. "I'll be in the insurance and risk management department of the Wharton School and I hope to see some other Dartmouth alums there in the next couple of years." On the other hand, if you happen to find yourself in Tijuana this summer, please let Rebecca Meyers know, since she'll be there. From Tokyo Juliana Sasaki wrote to say she spent all of March partying with Nicole Grannon, and injune Samuel Kardon and his brother, Issac 'OS, stopped by on their way to China. Juliana is still teaching English and writing, and is planning a fourmonth trip to Spain for next year.

There is real work, and then there is what Kyle Yamamoto does for a living. He spent June 7 playing 100 consecutive holes of golf over a span of 11 hours on behalf of the United States Golf Association. His group raised $2,000 for a local junior golf program in Colorado Springs that offers free golf instruction and course access to underprivileged youth. As he so aptly put it, "More fun than a marathon and a lot less"running."

Justin White wrote from Washington, D.C., to say that he "ditched the actuarial profession in March, and since then have been working at an economic consulting firm called Analysis Group." When not spending upwards of 60 hours a week at work, Justin can be found hiking and canoeing or just exercising his liver at a happy hour. He's been living in a little house with Adrian Hartline, Mindy Pereira, Esther War- shauer-Baker and Grace Lee, and the happy roommates have even planted a little garden out back.

Jessica Sharkness randomly ran into Crandall Peeler and Sarah Ives at a Red Sox game on Memorial Weekend. "They were both looking hale and healthy, unlike the Red Sox, who unfortunately lost the game. I got a sunburn on my lips." Ouch!

Speaking of chance meetings, on his way to back to Dartmouth for Green Key weekend, Matt Jungers found himself sitting on the plane next to Jen Johnston! Matt barely had time forthe return trip to Hanover, what with buying a new house and winning vacations to Orlando and the Bahamas for being a top sales rep for Eli Lilly. He had a blast though and mentioned he saw Taylor Spencer, Patrick Granfield, Brent Jones, Pablo de la Huerta, Rob De Simone, Mary Fraga, Charlotte Coultrap-Bagg, Mike Sirota, Stephanie Sklar, Michelle Hogan, Bill Shields, Nirav Kapadia, Lauren Bates, Charles Augello, Rachel Wolfe, Courtney Grimes and Kerry Quinn.
