Biographies:

President: Kendall B. Wilson

After graduating from the University of Texas School of Law in 1990, Kendall practiced law for 7 years. During this time, she also taught pre-law at Southern Methodist University’s Talented and Gifted summer program and at her alma-mater, the Hockaday School.  She was both a litigator and a mediator.  After having two children, Kendall wanted a more flexible schedule and began teaching, a passion she found when working for Professor John Rassias at Dartmouth.  She taught 8^th grade English at the Hockaday School for the next 7 years.  Currently she tutors Spanish and English and helps seniors in high school prepare their college essays. She recently founded an import business called San Miguel Treasures. She imports artisan objects – jewelry, paintings, and gift items – from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and the surrounding area. She has just completed her first book, Smile! It Gives Your Face Something to Do!, a book of advice for teens who are about to go to college.

Kendall enjoys walking with her dog, hiking, snow skiing, scuba diving, and travelling.  She is recently married to Rick Wilson, a career marine, and she has two daughters, Lauren (Emerson College Class of 2015) and Jessica (9^th grade). Kendall has been on the Executive Committee for the last 5 years, serving as a member-at-large, and she actively helped with our 25th reunion book. She was also on the reunion committee for our 20^th reunion.

Vice-President for Class Projects: Jenny Plath

Jenny began her professional career in London, working for the literary book publisher Faber and Faber Ltd.  After returning to the U.S., Jenny held editorial positions at Farrar, Straus and Giroux, and ELLE Magazine, where she was Assistant Features Editor.

For the past 17 years, since graduating from Harvard Business School, Jenny has worked for MBI, Inc., a direct marketing company located in Norwalk, CT.  Over the years Jenny has held various positions in marketing, product development and advertising for the privately-held collectibles firm.  She currently holds the title of VP and Senior Manager, Creative Services, and runs the company’s two internal creative departments, responsible for the development of the marketing materials and much of the product design for this $400 million company.

She is also currently serving as college placement consultant for The Pierrepont School, a 10-year old private day school for academically gifted students in Westport, CT.

Last summer, Jenny married Ben Boulton, an inner-city high school English teacher, experienced mountaineer and obsessed rock climber.  Jenny is the mother of twin girls — Margaret and Vivienne — who are graduating from elementary school this June.

Jenny enjoys many outdoor activities with her family including trail running, hiking, skiing, and rock climbing.  She also loves gardening, jewelry making, paper crafts and all kinds of word play, and is addicted to the Sunday NY Times crossword puzzle.

This will be Jenny’s first official role for Dartmouth, and she is looking forward to serving the class of 1986 as a Vice President for Special Projects.

Vice-President for Mini-Reunions: Krista Thomas Corr

Krista left Dartmouth in 1986 to work at Outline in Dallas, Texas.  This most-coveted of the corporate recruiting positions lasted a total of one year before the Dallas office was closed down.  Krista then moved to San Francisco, to prepare for law school as a paralegal at Morrison & Foerster.  After bothering to take the LSATs and to apply to   law schools, Krista decided to change her path yet again.  Having rejected law school admission and with no particular career prospects in sight, Krista applied to the FBI on a whim.  She went to Quantico 21 years ago and has never looked back.  Krista has been a Special Agent assigned to the Boston division for her entire career and has worked Public Corruption and Government Fraud cases for over nineteen of those years.  Some highlights of her work include convictions obtained against a Massachusetts Speaker of the House, a State Senator, and a Boston City Councilor.  Krista has also had the opportunity to participate in a number of interesting investigations as a twenty-year member of the Evidence Response Team.  She has traveled to Saudi Arabia twice to investigate bombings, spent over a month pouring over evidence in the Egypt Air plane crash, and worked countless hours processing evidence obtained after the 9/11 attacks.  Krista has taken advantage of the opportunity to teach evidence collection courses to law enforcement personnel overseas, including the Royal Thai Police in Thailand and representatives of the various police forces in Brazil.

Krista is married to Bart Corr, a corporate pilot for Beacon Capital Partners.  They live together in Newton, Massachusetts with their two daughters, Julia (7) and Megan (5).

It is a little-known fact that, in 1996, Krista was named by the College as the Mini-Reunion Chairman of the Year.  Krista continues to enjoy socializing and throwing parties and would be honored to do so with more of a purpose during the next five years!
