1995

I hope everyone's winter has started well. I have lots of news to report!

First, Tiffany Brooks wrote to say that she married Pablo Bernal of Bogota, Colombia, in Holland, Michigan, on June 23. Tiffany and Pablo were classmates at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and received their M.B.A.s in June. Other '95s in attendance at the wedding were Courtney (Motfinger) Cole, Jason Cole, Alexa Lessow, Gillian (Fraser) Moran and Julie (Kanarowski) Turner. Tiffany and Pablo now reside in the Seattle, Washington, area.

Speaking of Alexa Lessow, she sent some news from N.Y.C., where she's lived for 12 years. Alexa is in her fourth year of private practice in otolaryngology and really loves New York, though she wouldn't mind moving where there are some trees and space. Alexa and her fiance, Pete Rosa, will be getting married in 2008, and Alexa expanded on Tiffany's wedding report by mentioning that Julie and Gillian were pregnant at the wedding and both later gave birth to little girls. She added that Tiffany is now expecting, making the Dartmouth family circle even bigger.

Jen (Sopko) Hee passed along that she and her husband, Corwin, welcomed their second child Jason Daniel, on October 15. She says that he's a total sweetheart and a good sleeper, which makes for a great combination in a baby. Jason was welcomed home by his big brother Alex.

Kenneth Gordon had quite a lot of news on his fellow alums. First, he and his wife, Christy (Horner) Gordon, live in Cromwell, Connecticut. Kenneth still works as a lawyer with ESPN and Christy is a recovering New York corporate lawyer. They have 2-year-old Julia, who "is still pretty cool" and who will clearly be either a comedian or politician (or some combination thereof).

Alison Cares and Todd Johnson (RPI '95) have moved back to Massachusetts from West Hartford, Connecticut. Alison is a professor of sociology and teaches at one of the satellite campuses at UMass. She has a 4-year-old daughter named Lena, who is affectionately known as "Lena Beana" by Kenneth and Christy's daughter. They don't see Alison and her family as much as they used to but expect to catch up with them soon.

Kenneth will be attending Michael Greene's February wedding in Charlotte, North Carolina, which will effectively take Michael off of the singles market. Michael is a partner in the law firm of Goodman, Carr, Laughrun, Levine & Murray and worked as an assistant district attorney for three years for the Mecklenburg County district attorney's office in Charlotte. In 2004 and 2005 Michael was named as one of Charlottes Legal Elite in the field of criminal defense by Business North Carolina magazine.

As a fellow Mouse employee Kenneth regularly corresponds (and reminisces about glory days on the gridiron) with Kent Dahn, even though Kent is across the country on the West Coast. Kent graduated from the Anderson School at UCLA and is part of brand marketing for the Buena Vista Home Entertainment Group in California.

Finally, Kenneth reported that Ryan Nally is doing great—he and his wife, Jennie, recently had a baby.

That's it for this time. I also have the scoop on another '95 getting hitched and on a tapdancing classmate, but I'll keep you in suspense on those until the next issue.
