1982

I am back from a whirlwind trip to Israel for the wedding of Jay Shofet and Adeena Sussman. Jay has lived in Israel for all but a few years since we graduated. He is now the director of partnerships and development at the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel. Adeena is a food writer, recipe developer and cookbook author. And they throw a great wedding. The food was fabulous and, more importantly, Jay and Adeena’s love for each other and for their families and friends created a powerful energy in the room that fueled a long night of dancing and celebration. Also attending the wedding was the newly minted Adrienne Lotson, Ph.D. It has been a busy spring for Tee, who, in addition to receiving her doctorate in anthropology from the graduate center of the City University, was elected president-elect of the Dartmouth Alumni Council. Tee is embarking on a new chapter of her life as a professional thinker and writer while continuing to work as an administrative law judge and hearing officer for the City of New York to pay for those pesky habits of eating and having a roof over her head. No matter how many degrees Tee gets, she will always be the life of the party. We had a great time with Tee and with her traveling companion, Juanne Renee Harris ’85. Yisrael (Jay) Rosenberg has been living in Israel almost as long as Jay Shofet. Three years ago Yisrael left his career in information technology and now works for the organization that gives tours of the tunnels under the Western Wall. We enjoyed the chance to visit with Yisrael in Jerusalem, arranged by my cousin, whose wife is Yisrael’s wife’s cousin.

Jay Shofet isn’t the only newlywed in our class. Bruce Martin was married on June 18,2016, to Alison Nelson, a teacher of gifted elementary students. Bruce is a senior vice president in commercial lending with JPMorgan Chase in Chicago.

With her stint in the White House behind her, Cathy Green Solomon is now the chief operating officer of N Street Village, Washington, D.C.’s largest provider of housing and support services to homeless and low-income women. Cathy’s daughter, Julie, graduated from Dartmouth in

June and is headed to New York to make a go of it in theater set design, after spending a summer interning at the Williamstown Theater Festival. Her older daughter, Amy (Princeton T4), is an associate producer at HBO, working on Silicon Valley and a new show starring Bill Hader that will air this winter. Cathy’s husband, Bob, is happily consulting to business-to-business software companies, while the two of them wonder how two M.B.A. parents raised such creative daughters!

I regret that I must end with the sad news that classmates Scott Davidoff and Peter Zimmerman died recently. May their memories be a blessing. Obituaries will appear in the online edition ofthe Dartmouth Alumni Magazine.

I hope to see you all in less than a year at our next reunion in Hanover—June 14-17, 2018!
