1987

First, apologies to Martin Spottl, whose name I misspelled in my last column.

Shana Hopperstead has been living in Park City, Utah, since 1997 with her husband, Ross DiCaprio, and kids Jessica (9) and Ross Jr. (8). After working at GE for 19 years she left in 2006 and, following four months of playtime with her kids, started at Zions Bancorporation as a project manager. Somehow Shana wedged in finishing an M.B.A at Westminster College in 2006 and since then has been making up for lost time with the family. She coaches her kids' soccer teams and enjoys playing in an over-30 coed soccer team in Park City. Her family enjoys skiing and soccer as well as escaping life in the mountains for beach vacations. This year they visited Maui, complete with surfing, snorkeling and whale watching, and Hilton Head, South Carolina. Shana saw Jeff Lee earlier in the year when his son Cole and her daughter jessica were working on their "rolller er coaster marbles" science project together. He and his family live in the same Park City neighborhood and their kids go to the same school. She was expecting a visit from Lynn Van Ummersen '86 with her three girls in March to enjoy the "Greatest Snow on Earth." Lynn now lives in the Orlando area with her husband, Tom Chin.

Kim Jacobs has lived in New York City for 20 years since Dartmouth graduation. She sits on the board of her family's wine and spirits distribution company. Recently Kim started at Dune Road Group as a di- rector of new business development. Dune Road Group, a brand communications com- pany, designs Web sites and marketing/ advertising materials for new liquor brands and financial services' firms (private equity firms and investment banks). "If anyone needs Web design or advertising/market- ing services, please contact me at kim@ duneroadgroup.com." She had previously done ad sales at the deal.com for eight years, selling to investment banks and wine and spirit companies. Since Kim has already run two marathons, she jokes that she's single and working on getting married: she's "still looking for that guy who I am told is circling right about now." Kim keeps up with Julie Grossberg Harding, who has been acting for almost a decade, with credits in film, Broad- way and commercials. See if you can find her in a Carnival Cruise commercial (hint: she's in a bikini on horseback—go Julie!) or look for her in a forthcoming movie called The Clique. Julie, her husband, Billy, and their daughter Dylan live close to Kim on the Upper West Side.

From Newton, Massachusetts, Kathleen Kusiak reports that after working in commercial real estate since 1988 she started her own business seven years ago providing strategic planning and business development to commercial real estate companies. In addition she has begun investing in/developing commercial real estate with a Dartmouth '87 friend. She has been married 11 years and has children John (9) and Anna (6). "This fall a group of Dartmouth women will go on our fourth annual girls weekend out West. The group includes the following '87s: Diane DeLuca Gabianelli, Anne Kubik, Lauren Schwartz, Wendy Chronister Rogers, Ellen Proctor Wilson, Christine Foley Kollmorgen, Lisa Sweeney Caputo, Carolyn Negley Wester, Jennifer Lane Hamlin, Allison Oberman Exall and Pam Haering. We spend three to four days talking, hiking, running, getting massages, hot tubbing, doing yoga, cycling and shopping."
