1996

Good autumn to all! Lots of news, so let's jump right in.

Correction: In the previous issue, the update for Maribel Sanchez Sandoski should have read Maribel Basfien Sandoski—apologies to all parties.

I reconnected with Maribel Sanchez Souther, who returned to Hanover in 2002 to coach the women's cross country and track team at Dartmouth. In 2003 she married John Souther in Hanover. Maribel and John welcomed their first child, Jackson Nicolas in April. Congratulations to you all!

Finishing her Ph.D. in molecular genetics at Rutgers in 2002, Elizabeth Manheim spent a year at Sloan-Kettering in basic research but quickly moved to clinical medicine. Now an embryologist at the Center for Reproductive Medicine and Infertility at Cornell, in her own words, she "makes babies in the lab of the clinic and has even made a few for classmates and friends." Last winter she guest lectured at Dartmouth for the class "Ethics and Techniques of Assisted Reproduction."

I heard from Pei Lynn Yee that my '93X China FSP class had a congee brunch reunion to catch up in San Francisco. In attendance were Gloria Chung, Christina Hsieh, Andrew Kingsdale, Josh Wilson, Jessica Baptist '95 and Pei Lynn. Andrew regaled the group with stories of his time in China post-Dartmouth and Gloria shared pictures of her daughter. Josh and wife Lindsay now have two boys. Key

takeaway: Everyone looks the same! Fun was had by all and the group intends to meet up again soon—8.8.08 in Beijing would have been great!

Bridget Canniff in 1998 married her HTH Dan Fellini from Portland, Oregon. Having worked in immigrant and refugee advocacy after Dartmouth, she pursued a master's in law and diplomacy from the Fletcher School at Tufts in 2003, concentrating on community development and social change in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Later her global community health work focused on Africa, Asia and Latin America and since 2006 a Northwest American Indian tribal organization based in Portland. Heather

McNemar and her husband, Matt Habinowski, met in the Peace Corps in Kazakhstan. The couple for the past few years has been living in Kyiv, Ukraine, where Matt is a Foreign Service officer and Heather teaches English. The couple welcomed their first child, Eleanor Grace, in May and the family will be off to a new assignment in Moscow in December.

liana Davidi Reeves sent me the following: "On November 22,2006, in the middle of my three-year master's of science in engineering and management program at MIT, Dan treated me to a wonderful meal at the Top of the Hub. After dessert Dan got down on one knee and proposed, capping a wonderful day. We moved to Florida, got married this past November and went on safari in Africa for our honeymoon." The couple now resides in Atlanta, where liana is the director of software engineering for InTouch Interactive.

In June Anh Thu Cunnion wrote me that she was "getting married this Saturday and a little crazed to write anything else right now."

Erica Meitner told me she attended the wedding of Anne Elizabeth Stone in April. She was married to Matthew Corde Harad. Rabbi

Jerome K. Davidson officiated at the Tribeca Rooftop. Annie is a clinical fellow in pediatric pulmonology at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York-Presbyterian Hospital/ Columbia University Medical Center. The bridegroom is a hedgefund portfolio manager who went to school in Palo Alto, California, and Cambridge. The show of'96s was impres- sive, with Kimberley Sanderson-Hutfilz, Nina Wessel English, Jennie Tranter, llan Tito, Wenonah Madison and Berit Campion among them.

Be well—keep on keeping on!
