2009

Elyssa Benedikt had a baby girl in April (Lilah Rose). She, Josh, and big brother Aden have been enjoying their newest family member! Natalie Berger and Adam Powers welcomed a baby girl, Clara Josephine Powers, on July 14. David Kopec welcomed a son, Daniel Sylvan Kopec, named after his dad, Danny Kopec ’75, on July 20. His wife, Rebecca, and Daniel are doing well. Sarah Lawson started a job as a speech-language pathologist in the Northshore School District in Bothell, Washington. Alessandra (Necamp) Mooney married John Mooney in an intimate, joyful, and very socially distanced wedding ceremony atop the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia in July! The wedding was meant to be in April and include many Dartmouth alums, though luckily Marissa Knodel and Tara McNerney were able to attend this one, held at 12 Ridges Vineyard (owned by Craig Colberg ’73). Alessandra and John spend much of their time in the mountains but currently live in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. Alessandra will be pursuing a master’s in conflict resolution at Georgetown this fall. Emma Palley and Colin Fletcher are happy to share the birth of their daughter, Sloane. They live in Denver. Brian Scullin and his wife, Shannon, welcomed a son, Finnian James, in July. Everyone is doing well, although Finn’s 21-month-old sister, Delaney, is still trying to figure out why she isn’t getting as much attention as she previously did! After enduring a warm Phoenix summer, they’re all looking forward to cooler temperatures this fall. Kat (Rice) Wallach and her husband, Marshall Wallach, Tu’17, welcomed their first child into the world on July 18. Emily Louise, “Emmylou,” can’t wait to meet everyone at our next in-person reunion! In the meantime, if you find yourself in Denver, head on over for a backyard social distance hangout! Milan Williams just celebrated his one-year wedding anniversary in July and moved to Philadelphia. He has been working as a teacher and in video production for the Southeastern Conference on a CBS show as the “football guy” on the crew that makes the announcers look smart. Most importantly, he started a sauce and seasonings business called Captain Grille Co., where he sells Yellowhammer Sauce and Love seasoning that can go in any and everything.
