1998

I've a lot to impart this month, so buckle your seatbelts. Here goes: Anil Doshi wrote in (just after the last submission deadline had passed, so this update has been a long time coming): "In September I married Sue Oh. We went to high school together but I had lost touch with her until a mutual friend invited us out to drinks about two years ago. A bunch of Dartmouth alums were there to celebrate with us, including Kyle Teamey, Rob Simik '99, Darlyn Rodriguez '00, Khalid Roberts and wife Betsy (Lewis) Roberts, Sharat Raghavan (a groomsman) and wife Karen (Hung) Ragavan '99, Eric Petitt (another groomsman) and fiancee Denise Dunning, Meghan McCarthy, Amit Malhotra, Scott Listfield, Michael Lee, Ed Kim, Marene Jennings, Neil Desai, Kevin Colan and wife Diedre d'Entremont, Margaret Chu, David Berkowitz and wife Anna (Schechter) Berkowitz, Abby Augusta, Ryoji Takeyama '00, Tommy Kim 01, Hai Gi Li '99, Yuhka Miura '00, Priscilla Cham and husband Kerwin, Tom Ranter '00 and wife Erin (Chisholm) Kanter '00 and Greg Johnston 99."

As some of you may know Sylvie Hogg lived in Italy for a time following graduation and has been writing travel guides about Rome and Italy for Frommer's, TimeOut and DK, among other print and Web publishers, since 2001. Although she now lives in New York City she continues to travel back and forth to Italy several times per year to research new travel writing projects. Her most recent book,MTV Italy, has just hit store shelves, and she'll be doing publicity for it and the brand new MTV travel guides series over the next few months. Sylvie credits the Dartmouth Classics department and several Italian language classes for setting the stage for her career as a travel writer and part-time historian, archaeologist and anthropologist.

Nicolle (Haneman) Keally was kind enough to send us a wonderful picture of the many Dartmouth alums who got together for her wedding to Alex Keally '98, Tu '04. Unfortunately, there's no way to shoehorn a picture into this space, so you will all have to use your imagination. Shown (left to right) were: Terry Jacobs '69, John Rosenwald 52, Tu '53, Amy (Yost) Murray and husband Patrick Murray, Danielle (Guthrie) Johnson and husband Teddy Johnson '94, Whitney Hale '00, Clay Hale '64, Peter Rosenwald '56, Tom Rosenwald '56, Tu '57, Ben Donohue, Abbey Doolittle, Sylvie Hogg (who gets the prize for two distinct, unrelated appearances in a single column), Harryjacobs 42, Blair Kenney, Kirby (Cook) Grabowski and husband Mark Grabowski, Steve Vogel, Nicolle Keally, Heather (Duckworth) Smith and husband Todd Smith '95, Peter Lanfer, Graham Gallivan, Kara (Josephberg) Paldino, Lauren (Brenner) Goody '99, Jen (Greene) Abbey, Mike Goody, Jared Abbey, Kristen Hinman and Chad Trexler.

Finally (although I'll catch hell for it because she's not a big fan of seeing her name in print), on December 9 Susan O'Bell did me the great honor of agreeing, in front of an assemblage of Dartmouth and other folk in Cleveland, to be my wife. Present for the ceremony and festivities following were Erika de Papp '90, Kevin Arista and wife Molly (Hershey) Arista, Justin Carrino and wife Christine (DuRocher) Carrino, Chad Woodman (a groomsman), Kevin McCart '97 (another groomsman) and wife K.K., Leslie Kinsey '99 and fiance Zack Segal, Nevin Patton '97 and wife Kelly, and Anne (Renna) Owens and husband Nicholas.
