Remember reunion is June 18 to 21. I am looking forward to seeing many classmates there!

I have news from Dani Klein Modisett—she has a book coming out in May. It is called Afterbirth: Stories You Won’t Read in a Parenting Magazine and is based on a hit show by the same name that has been running in New York and Los Angeles. Dani will be coming back to Dartmouth in June for our 25th reunion and hopes to do a book signing/reading at the Dartmouth Bookstore. The show has been written up by the Los Angeles Times and the New York Post and has had its own segment on NPR’s “Day To Day.” The book is being published by St. Martin’s Press and can actually be preordered now. It features 37 well-known writers/comics/ musicians, including Matthew Weiner (creator of Mad Men), Moon Zappa, Andrew McCarthy, Cindy Chupack (executive producer of Sex and the City) and bestselling novelists Deborah Copaken Kogan, Beth Harbison and many more. Sounds entertaining! I am looking forward to seeing Dani at reunion.
