2001

Hello, ’01 family. I hope you are all well and spending this summer outside after a very long spring.

Abby Gillard wrote in with some great news. She and her wife, Lisa Grefe, welcomed their daughter, Mary, into the world this spring. Little Mary has already traveled from her home in Iowa to visit Hanover. Abby and family got to catch up there with Katie Gay man and Caleb Moore and their family. Pre-baby and pre-travel prohibitions, Abby and Lisa went to the finals ofthe Women’s World Cup in France and also met up with Mary McVeigh ’03 and Erin Osborn ’05.

The ’01 class officers have been busy creating some great opportunities to get together. Make sure to followthe 2001 Facebook account as well as the new Instagram account. You will find information about’01 gatherings, including virtual happy hours. Another great new initiative is an online book club highlighting’01 authors and ’01-related content via Goodreads. By the time of this printing, the book club will have probably finished up All Four Stars byTara Dairman and willbe working on The Benefits of Being an Octopus by Ann Braden.

Either there is not much going on in the ’01 universe or everyone is too inundated with emails and Zoom meetings to spend any more time in front oftheir computers to send updates. Myguess is probably a little bit of both. Here’s to hoping that some of your Zoom meetings involved catching up with some old Dartmouth friends.
