1991

1991

Hello, classmates! Even though we did I not have our 30th reunion, the class officer changeover has occurred and it’s time for me to “retire” from the position of class secretary. Thank you to everyone from across the girdled earth who reached out to me and contributed to this column during the past five years. It has been a true pleasure and an honor to serve in this role for the amazing class of 1991!

I was fortunate enough to have spent a few nights in Hanover in June, and while so much has changed (holy construction!) many things remain the same. A walk around OccomPond brought back memories of ice skating, j ogging through Pine Park, and looking for the top of Baker Tower in the distance. A stroll down Main Street still included a stop at the Co-Op for anew T-shirt and a visitto Lou’s for a cup of coffee. And the faces of the students (now unmasked) still radiate a certain sense of purpose and possibility that many of us remember from our time as undergraduates.

This month my one piece of news is from Linda Ricci, who is making an exciting career move. Linda has joined the law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP, in its Boston office as a shareholder in its whitecollar defense and special investigations practice. After Dartmouth Linda went to Yale Law School, where she was the editor of the Yale Law Journal. After getting her J.D. she clerked forthe Hon. John M. Walker Jr. in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit andthenforthe Hon. John S. Martin Jr. in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. She went on to work at the U.S. attorney’s office forthe District of Massachusetts, where she was a member of the economic crimes unit and later served as chief of the narcotics and money laundering unit. Her experience includes hands-on work conducting investigations, providing strategic direction to investigators, prosecuting crimes, and handling in-court proceedings in areas including financial fraud, money laundering, securities fraud, criminal tax violations, and crimes related to Covid-19.

Thanks again for all of your support! Have a wonderful autumn!
