2009

Hello, ’09s! As you’re reading this, you may be getting ready to head to Hanover for our 10-year reunion. It’s hard to believe it’s been 11 years since we graduated. Until we can all catch up in person, here are some updates. Udit Banerjea and Alaina Smith married back in November 2019. Andrew Han got engagedto Harmony Barker. Katie Herman married Patrick Murphy in Atlanta on January 25. Lindsay Maitland Hunt’s new book came out on April 28, Help Yourself: A Guide to Gut Health for People Who Love Delicious Food (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). Like her first cookbook, Healthyish, Help Yourself has more than 125 recipes, but this book also covers her personal story, the science of gut health, and a new way to think about eating with all this in mind. In June Sarah Lawson will be graduating from Northwestern University with an M.S. in speech, language, and learning and beginning a career in speech language pathology. Johannes Lohmann has moved to London with his wife and is now the head of employment and organizational behavior at the Behavioural Insights Team, where he works on solutions to social challenges based on behavioral economics. Let him know if you are in London or happen to come through. Ray Padgett and his wife are having their first kid, a daughter, in early June (she might be the youngest reunion attendee) and his second book, about tribute albums and Leonard Cohen, is out in September. Diana Punko is finishing her psychiatry residency in New York City in June and will be moving to Boston for a fellowship in consultation-liaison psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital in July. She would love to reconnect with any ’09s in the area. Molly Roy has been traveling in Europe for the last year with her boyfriend and plans to come back to the United States in May. Then her plan is to head out West to either Arizona or Colorado to work on a campaign through the November election. By the time this is published she should (she hopes) know which campaign (national/ state level, etc.). Federico Sequeda and his wife moved to Washington, D.C. from Boston. Work took him there so he can be more in touch with international economics and policy spheres. He is super looking forward to seeing more of the Washington, D.C., Dartmouth crowd. Peter Shellito has moved a lot in the last four years but is now in Seattle, where he and his partner plan to stay. —Liz (Doolittle) Kahane, 7 Chatmoss Road, Henderson, NV 89052; (617) 909-7669; elizabeth.d.kahane@gmail.com
