1997

Theresa Ellis wrote with news of several '97s. She stays in regular contact with Amanda Paulson, who lives in Chicago with her husband and writes for the Christian Science Monitor. "Herwriting is superb and she remains really connected to things that take her outdoors." She keeps up with Miranda Johnson, who just finished fouryears of graduate school and is going to clerk for a judge in or around New York City this year. Theresa also stays in touch with Sarah Lenczner Caputo, "who just had two beautiful little girls. (I should let her share that news, but they are so cute, it's hard to resist!) Sarah and Tom [Caputo '96] are still in Seattle, which means that I don't get to see them as often as I would like, but with some frequency nonetheless. All told, it's really nice to have a web of Dartmouth folks who remain, to this day, some of my closest friends."

Sarah provided more details on the new additions to her family: "My daughters Jane Katherine and Allison Margaret were born March 12, nine minutes apart. They were a month early and on the small side—Jane was 4 pounds, 6 ounces and Allison was 5 pounds, 3 ounces—but in great health and were able to come home from the hospital with us. They keep me and my husband, Tom, busy, but happily so!

"I left my job as a major gift officer at the University of Washington when I was put on bed rest part-way through my pregnancy. I'll be taking care of these babies full-time for a few years and then I hope to get back into development.

"As for other'97s in Seattle: Abby Klingbeil and Dave Zipkin are getting married. Emilie Ellis hosted a Dartmouth party at her moms home, which was wonderful. Great weather, a beautiful view of Lake Washington and a chance to see the Blue Angels fly. Mollie Greves has started a pediatrics fellowship."
