CLASS NOTES
2020
Dr. Daniel Schruth, Seattle: The last few years have been busy! During my first year of practice ownership, we moved the office to a new location and my first daughter was born. Although it was stressful, I am loving being a new dad and doing orthodontics every day in private practice at Rainier Valley Orthodontics (www.rainiervalleyortho.com). I’m grateful for the experience and training I gained at UWSOD. I can’t believe it has been almost eight years! (Spring 2020)

REUNIONS
The Class of 2012 celebrated their 10-year reunion on the shores of Lake Washington. More than half of the class made it to town, plus spouses, children, and dogs. It was great catching up and learning where everyone has ended up and what is new in their lives. Although we missed a number of people, we are looking forward to the next one! – Rusty Johnson
