1991
Greetings from Denver and your new Class Notes secretary. I am taking the reins from Jon Murchison, who has dutifully kept us all connected for the last six years. Many thanks to Jon for providing all the skinny on the class of 1991.
Remarkably (and humbly), Murch never wrote about himself while class secretary. However, now that I am in the driver's seat, I told him that he had no choice. Murch lives in San Francisco and married his wonderful wife, Julie, in 2003.Their 19-month-old son Henry thoroughly enjoyed his first trip to Hanover for reunion. Murch works at Google and oversees media relations for the Google founders and CEO, litigation issues, finance and acquisitions. Murch has had the good for tune of hosting visits at Google by the Big Green Bus, which is a waste-vegetable oil-powered school bus crewed by Dartmouth students. It tours the country as a means of promoting environmental responsibility and awareness. The BGB was also recently featured in Newsweek. Check it out at www.thebiggreenbus.org!
Happily (and conveniently), I can provide word from Karin Markey Jonas, who lives a mile away. She and husband Jim have two awesome kids, Bennett (almost 8) and Markey (5). Karin works at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and oversees the museums special events.
Lissy Carter Rooney wrote from Coronado, California, where she is the art teacher at the elementary school there. She teaches 700 children (!), including her daughters Cece (10) and Cate (7).
Carolyn Watt Williams lives in Carbondale, Colorado a stones-throw from Aspen. After years of teaching and college counseling at the Colorado Rocky Mountain School, Carolyn started her own prep school and college counseling business. Colorado Educational Consulting is raging and she is having a ball. When not steering other kids to college she is mothering Sage (5) and baby Luke, who is almost a year. If you are already gunning to get your kids into Dartmouth you can write Carolyn at carolyn@coloradoeducationalconsulting.com.
Michelle Mulvany Gallagher sends word from Wellesley, Massachusetts. She keeps busy with Jack (7), Cormac (4) and Annie (18 months).
Alex Giovsky and his wife, Cheryl, live in Hamilton, Massachusetts, with 7-year-old twin boys Nick and William. Seven, he said, is a great age for fun with the "little whompers." Alex is a partner at Nutter in Boston, where he practices corporate law. He has been there for 13 years and finds it hard to believe we are old enough to be doing anything for that long. Ain't that the truth?
Carrie Heinonen has spent almost two years as the vice president for marketing and public affairs at the Art Institute of Chicago. She says it is like being back in college because her boss was the director of the Hood when she was a Senior Fellow there. Carrie was also named a 2007 Marshall Memorial Fellow, funded by the German Marshall Memorial Fund. She traveled to Paris, Lubeck, Lisbon, Krakow and Brussels to learn about European Union policy issues. Some choice moments included dinner with several German members of parliament and a private meeting with the U.S. permanent representative to NATO. Carrie says, "Dianna Goldberg May and I still need to swap stories—as she was a Marshall Memorial Fellow in 2000."
Now, it is my mm to beg, plead, cajole, entice and bribe all of you to send your own updates. Please don't disappoint. We don't want the '91 column to run blank and I would hate to fill our space with the challenges of raising two itty-bitty boys.
