2005

Hi, ’05s. Hope you all are well. Thankfully there is quite a bit to report on the post-holiday season. First, classmate Callie Thompson wrote in to provide us all with an update. She is currently a senior interaction designer at Chaotic Moon, a large creative technology studio that was recently acquired by Accenture. Based in Austin, Texas, Callie also runs her own art and textile line, Beam (callenthompson.com), and is in the middle of a new collection—a woven line of fair-trade scarves and upholstery fabric through Kara Weaves’ weaving cooperatives in Kerala, India. Callie was married in Austin last October to her partner of 8 years, Eli Robinson. Eli’s dad, grandfather and two aunts are Dartmouth alums and many Dartmouth friends attended the wedding. Eli’s aunt, Justice Beth Robinson ’86, officiated the wedding for the couple. As many of you may know, Beth was one of the key activists for same-sex marriage in Vermont, kicking off the nationwide push for same-sex marriage. Callie said it was especially awesome to see Beth’s 15 years of devoted legal work allow her and Eli to be legally married.

While on the topic of weddings, Jeremy Keyes was recently engaged to Jillian Redner. A wedding in Stamford, Connecticut, is set for June. Margot Langsdorf and Drew Levine were also recently engaged in the future bride’s hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, this past December. Congratulations to both couples, we wish you all the best!

Finally, there are two new Dartmouth family additions to report. Sudeshna Chatterjee-Paer and husband Jesse Paer ’04 welcomed son Jai Kamuela Paer into the world this past November. Jai joins Ashley and Joe Workman’s second son, Wesley Joe Workman, as the latest Big Green family additions. A big congratulations goes out again to the moms and dads!

Keep sending updates, folks. Look forward to checking back in this spring.
