David Gacioch graduated from Cornell Law Schooh in May and moved to Boston. He's working in the trial department at McDermott Will & Emery LLP and has accepted an offer to serve as law clerk to the Hon. Ernest Torres, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island starting in September 2005.

Yale Dieckmann started B school at Kellogg in September, along with a few other 'oos—Laura Adams, Chris Cerf, J.J. Ofer and Jason Deeken. "We're keeping the Big Green spirit alive in the Midwest. Unfortunately, pong (the real version...none of this Beirut crap) has yet to make its way out here. If my place were big enough, rest assured I'd drop a 9-by-5 table in my living room and start sharing the love!"

Abby Gaunt is in her last year of law school and will be clerking for a federal judge in N.Y.C. next year. She also recently attended the fall wedding of Libby Levitan and Pete Graf'99. It was a beautiful day in the Hamptons with lots of Dartmouth folks in attendance.

Elizabeth Wald was married to Matthew Frank in October. "Our wedding was in Littleton, Massachusetts, on a beautiful fall day. We're living in Lowell, Massachusetts, now—he's working at a real estate investment banking firm and I'm an assistant editor at Blackwell Publishing, working on the life sciences list."

Evette Robinson is in Charleston, South Carolina, in her first year of medical school at the Medical University of South Carolina. "My M.Ph. studies at Emory are currently on hold until my fourth-year electives. I plan to graduate with both degrees by May 2008. Also, in October,jeremiah Smith (U.S. Naval Academy '02) and I were married on the Isle of Palms here in South Carolina. The wedding was held just before sunset on the beach—perfectly small, short and sweet."

Carolyn Levine married Jason Lanzetta in Anguilla, British West Indies, in November. Meaghan Fanning, Meghan Hewit and Kate Ryan were on hand to celebrate at Cap Juluca, a spectacular resort on the beach. Carolyn and Jason met atJ.P. Morgan in New York, where they both trade U.S. equities.

Will Schoen and Michelle Comeau were married in August in downtown Los Angeles at the Los Angeles Athletic Club with lots of Dartmouth friends in attendance. Will and Michelle honeymooned in Bora Bora. Nick Russell and Jen Caine were married at Jen's parents house in Lyme, Connecticut, in August. Jen's finishing the second and final year of her M.F.A. in painting at BU and Nick is still working in consulting in Boston.

Sarah (Dahl) McKeown and her husband, Morgan '98, welcomed the beautiful Jacob Dahl McKeown into their lives on April 9,2004. "He was 6 pounds, 14 ounces and 20 inches. He is a very happy baby and we are having the time of our lives!"

Lastly, it is with great sadness that I report the loss of Nilanjan (Nilly) Banerjee '01. Nilly passed away at the end of November from cardiac arrest due to an undetected congenital heart defect. He was a dedicated member of the ski patrol, the Dartmouth Review, Fire & Skoal and Bones Gate. He befriended students from all walks of life, was unfailingly loyal to his friends and will be missed greatly by his Dartmouth family. With the loss of Zeke and Nilly, 2004 was a difficult year for the class of 2000.1 wish everyone a happy and healthy 2005.
