2003

I'm still recovering from all the fun I had at our five-year reunion a few weekends ago. Almost 500 classmates were able to make the trip back north to catch up and reminisce. Dartmouth certainly looked a.Jot different, with all the new dorms and academic buildings, but still felt very much like home. Or at the very least it's safe to say we made it our home again for one more weekend.

I first ran into Adam Kaplan, who had just flown in from California, as we were checking into our rooms in Gile (probably the only thing I don't miss about Dartmouth is the communal bathrooms!). Under the class tent I saw outgoing class president Lola Adedokun and my high school classmate Paula Wotherspoon, who is doing quite well out in Los Angeles with boyfriend Seth Richardson. Justin White, my freshman neighbor down in French, was present and accounted for, celebrating both our reunion and his recent graduation from Tuck School of Business. He is off to Baltimore to work in equity research for T. Rowe Price and a kind informant let me know he graduated No. 1 in his class! Daniel Ofer and Sammo Gontha made the trip back all the way from England, but Patrick Granfield and Kerry Quinn Granfield did them one better, flying in from Dubai.

My good buddy "Scottie Too Hottie," aka Scott Stewart, told me he's still doing some woodworking for fun and even started his own SAT math prep course. I ran into Anna Serotta but sadly never found her fiance, Colin McGlynn. I wanted to thank him again for all the IM hockey games he won for my team as a complete stud in net.

President Wright welcomed us back at a lovely brunch on the Green Saturday morning and Joe Ackley and Stephanie Bonan were on hand to present him with our class gift to the Dartmouth College Fund. That night we wined and dined down on the Connecticut River and then partied the night away in our class tent. Things really got going with Blame It On the Boogie, and Ethan Mitnick easily gets my vote for best dancer ever. New class co-presidents Alexios Monopolis and Alan Washington seemed to know everyone in our class, so I think we'll be well represented over the next six years. Many thanks to you both for stepping up on behalf of our class, and now everyone knows whom to e-mail with suggestions and ideas.

A huge thank you must go out to reunion co-chairs Jillian Cusack and Kamil Walji and the rest of their reunion staff. All of their hard work certainly paid off. If you haven't already done so, consider filling out the class survey, which you can find here: http://dartmouth. org/classes/2003/reunion. We'll be compiling the information in upcoming editions of our class newsletter. And it's never too early to start thinking about our 10-year reunion, which will be in 2014 with the classes of 2004 and 2005. Let us know if you have any ideas!

I've now moved to Pittsburgh to start my family medicine residency at UPMC St. Margaret. One of my classmates is Kristen Scopaz 'oo. Dartmouth alumni really are everywhere!
