A Moving Experience | They’re here! The annual invasion of parents and freshmen took place on September 5, a move-in day that saw several hundred of the 1,169 students in the class of 2022 arrive to occupy their dorm rooms. And furnish them. The annual sustainable moving sale moved a high volume of mini-fridges, lamps, coffee makers, bicycles, and other necessities—and raised several thousand dollars to support Dartmouth’s sustainability efforts.

Buddy BallI have been torn in recent years between my love of watching football and my medi-cal judgment that the sport is bad for its participants. Buddy Teevens’ solution is ingenious, and both his—and Dartmouth’s—decision to implement it is courageous [“Game Changer,” September/October]. I am proud of Dartmouth for appropriately dealing with the problems of chronic trau-matic encephalopathy (CTE).

KEVIN G. RYAN ’56, DMS’57Santa Barbara, California

The story about football coach Buddy Teevens ’79 and his innovative and, it seems, lone wolf approach to football—his “Dartmouth Way”—evokes “The Dart-mouth Plan.”

More than 45 years after being imple-mented as a way to admit more students without immediately adding dorms, din-ing halls, or athletic facilities, we see how far-reaching and effective it was. It opened—better late than never—the doors of a Dartmouth education and experience to women. The D-Plan also let multitudes of students choose their route through four years: an internship in Chicago while peers took classes, six months of Olympic train-ing that didn’t delay on-time graduation, or the flexibility to extend language abroad programs.

Like Teevens’ football foresight, the D-Plan has not yet caught on at other col-leges. It is their loss, while Dartmouth thrives. Let’s remember that football once centered on running the ball because the forward pass had too many negatives as-sociated with it. Today, pass-happy games attract millions of fans. We can only hope that someday soon another Dartmouth in-novation will positively impact lives for the better.

STEVE BELL ’76Buffalo, New York

As a former football fan, I found the statement that Dartmouth football play-ers will become doctors, bankers, and engineers and, therefore, will “need their brains” tone deaf. Did Mike Webster, Dave Duerson, and Junior Seau not need their brains? All played pro football, and all three men suffered from CTE. As a psychiatrist, I’d suggest they needed their brains to function just as much as I need mine.

It is this sort of hypocrisy and, dare I say, elitism on DAM’s part, that supports my decision to continue my boycott of the sport.

ERIK ROSKES ’86Baltimore

The article claims Teevens was the first to eliminate tackling in football practice. I played on Earl Hamilton’s freshman team at Dartmouth in 1961. I later transferred to St. John’s University in Collegeville, Min-nesota. Its football coach, John Gagliardi, allowed no tackling in practice.

JON FABRI ’65Charleston, South Carolina

InspiredTwo tremendously inspirational articles in the new issue. What a treat! My wife and love of 66 years passed away last year, so I was particularly sensitive to the devo-tion shown by the four climbing buddies who tackled Mount Xanadu as a memo-rial tribute to their departed friend Chris Vale ’18 [“Mission to Xanadu,” September/October]. What a feat in acknowledgement of their loss.

And then the story of what Buddy Teevens has done for Dartmouth football and young athletes around the country. As one who was brought up with head-butting football and lost his best friend to football-related dementia, I am tremendously im-pressed with Buddy’s ability to transform our national sport. Go Big Green!

JACK WOODS ’51, TH’52, TU’52Basking Ridge, New Jersey

Starry Eyed I was probably the first Dartmouth student to encounter Vincent Starzinger’s mag-netic brilliance [“The Zinger,” September/October]. This occurred in the spring of 1960, before he started teaching in the fall. He had come to Hanover to participate in my senior fellowship’s so-called “summit conference.” On this occasion I presented the fruits of my constitutional law proj-

ect concerning the judicial philosophies of Justices Frankfurter and Black to a small group of invited faculty. All I remember of this event is my distinct impression that Starzinger was charming and keenly intelligent.

I graduated and went on to Harvard Law School, where Starzinger also earned his law degree. During my third year there, I drove to Hanover for a visit. I connected with Starzinger, and we found ourselves at the Hanover Inn bar. I remember noth-ing about our conversation, and our paths never crossed again, but my sense of his delightful company and analytic acuity remains with me, and the accuracy of this perception has been confirmed by the rec-ollections of his many students who came after me.

STEPHEN SAYRE SINGER ’60New York City

True BelieverThank you for the excellent September/October issue. It might have been titled “How Sports Enhance a Dartmouth Educa-tion.” Dartmouth football decides its pri-ority is player safety and shows the rest of the sport a better way forward. Jeremy Howick ’92 [“Buddha on the Water”] ex-plains that losing crew races is educational and winning crew races can depend upon the phrase “Believe in yourself and pull harder.”

My own experience was the reverse of Jeremy’s—we won the Eastern Sprints my freshman year in 1973 and not so many races for the next three years. I learned as much at the boathouse and on the river as I did in the classroom. Obviously, the nature of the education was different in each set-ting, but the lessons I learned have lasted

me a lifetime. Thank you, Dartmouth, for your wis-

dom and your “both/and” approach to education.

THAD BENNETT ’76Conway, Massachusetts

Truth SeekerAs much as I enjoyed the interview with David Shribman ’76 [“Continuing Ed,” Sep-tember/October] and respect his accom-plishments, in his attack on fake news he says he has “never worked for a paper that has knowingly printed a syllable it knew to be wrong.” The real standard should be that the paper printed only syllables it knew were true.

LARRY BELLUZZO ’72Millsboro, Delaware

PolarizedThe cover [“The Crusader,” July/August] features Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand ’88 with the quote, “You must stand up when evil is spreading.” Labeling an opposing political opinion or party as “evil” is getting close to a call to man the barricades. It’s old-time religious in its call to action. It does not appeal to the intellect but to a god who pun-ishes evil through his agents here on Earth. If we cover our lack of common civility by labeling our opponents as evil enemies, we can justify the inevitable violence that will result from the crusaders trying to destroy the evildoers.

BUD KONHEIM ’57 Weston, Connecticut

Sen. Gillibrand said the Catholic Church is wrong to oppose abortion because “Our Constitution demands separation of church and state, and the church is meant to be an individual faith. . . .Anytime you’re trying to impose your religious belief on somebody else, it’s unconstitutional and morally wrong.” By advocating for the civil rights of babies to be born, Catholics are not trying to impose “religious beliefs” on anyone. Unborn babies are a defenseless minority. They want to live. The church teaches abortion is wrong because it kills innocent human life. As Mother Theresa said, “ ’Tis poverty that a child must die so that you can live as you wish.”

JOHN CASE ’65 Denver

Sen. Gillibrand, the sole vote against former Gen. Mattis for secretary of defense, said

“He did not have the relevant experience. President Trump might have thought a general is a good secretary of defense. We decided in the Constitution that it was not a good idea.”

There is nothing in the Constitution on the subject. The National Security Act of 1947 requires an officer be seven years out of uniform before assuming the post. A congressional waiver was granted to Mattis and to five-star general George C. Marshall, who was both secretary of state and defense under Truman. Numerous former military men became secretary of war, secretary of the Navy, or president. Gillibrand, a lawyer, should know better.

CHRIS LANGDON ’73Winter Park, Florida

MemoriesYour article about Jerry Zaks ’67 [“The King of Broadway,” July/August] was par-ticularly moving because I attended the same production of Wonderful Town he did, with the woman I married the following year. The performance of the song “A Quiet Girl” from the show moved her to tears. We were married for 35 years before she died in 2001 at the age of 58.

CHARLES STEPHANY ’63Redmond, Oregon

A Multitude of VoicesWith all due respect, I take issue with the suggestion of writer Hemant Joshi ’04 [“Your Turn,” September/October] that the voices of our more senior grads be un-ceremoniously relegated to the wilderness. While he is entitled to his opinion, I sub-mit that his picture of atavistic male grads smoking cigars and reading The New Yorker in leather chairs is, at best, a cartoonish ex-aggeration. Few, if any, senior alumni hold fast to the Indian symbol, a single-gender college, or cave-age histrionics.

To the contrary, today’s “old alums” have loyally supported the school, finan-cially and otherwise, for decades. My class of 1967 alone has donated more than $9 million to the College over the years, so that, along with other endeavors, we can have an alumni magazine where we can voice our opinions.

Since its seminal focus on the educa-tion of one endangered minority in 1769, Dartmouth has never sought to exclude its alumni, young or old, but to include them.

Sarah Palacios knows what it’s like to almost lose everything, and that’s why, as the new head of the Native American program, she’s passionate about inspiring students to keep faith with their heritage.

In the early 1900s, smallpox wiped out her tribe, the Pueblo of Pojoaque. Its few survivors fled New Mexico. When they came back years later, other tribes helped them relearn their language and culture. “Traditional ways are not at odds with thriving in contemporary society. They make us stronger,” says Palacios, a 2005 Stanford graduate who mentors students and advises Native American student or-ganizations. “We can use our education to empower our culture.”

What’s your typical day?On practice days, I’m there early to get the cameras and scoreboard ready and help put out the MVPs [Mobile Virtual Play-ers]. Then I film different parts of prac-tice. When we travel, a big part is making sure room keys are in order. When you have 100 keys, it’s easy to mess up. On the field, I catch field goals for kickers and film games.What’s the best part of the job?Being a part of the team. I wasn’t expect-ing players to welcome me into the fold. When we won games, they high-fived me. Some of our best players say, “Thank you for what you do,” and I’m like, “But you just won the game. All I did was film.”What’s changed since freshman year?Now that I’ve learned the players and po-sitions, it’s improved my ability to film. Coaches have more trust in me. Film is crucial. It’s how they see what they’re do-ing wrong, because it’s hard to see that in the moment.Is it difficult working in a male sport?No. I’m 100-percent respected by the players and coaches. I think I cemented that the first day of practice by throwing a spiral pass. They were like, “Okay, she can hang. She can keep up with the boys.”Did you know the game well before you became manager?I grew up in a family that revolved around sports, so I already had a great knowledge of football. Even so, it’s been amazing to learn even more from the coaches and players.What’s surprised you the most?How hard the players work and how much strategy is involved in the game.How is working with coach Buddy Teevens ’79?He’s incredible. He checks in a lot. It speaks volumes when this leader every-one idolizes takes the time to talk to me. It shows how much he cares about everyone who’s part of his organization. —Annie Phifer ’20

No one dreads long New England winters more than Dartmouth’s rowers. During an especially long winter,

they might not return to practice on the Connecticut River until April, putting them at a significant disadvantage.

“In terms of our competitors, we’re the farthest north,” explains Wyatt Allen, head coach of the heavyweight rowing team, which finished ninth overall in the country and fifth in the Ivy League last year.

A new $7.5-million, donor-funded renovation to the team’s training facilities at the Friends of Dartmouth Boat-house is expected to compensate for weather challenges. It will create a new wing to house moving-water tanks, commonly found at many top collegiate rowing programs.

“Not having moving water limits how effective your training can be,” says Wendy Bordeau, coach of the women’s team, which cracked the top 20 last year.

The new tanks are far more valuable than the current still-water tanks in Alumni Gymnasium. They mimic out-door conditions and let coaches give hands-on assistance while students row. Holding 16 athletes at a time, the tanks allow team members to learn to row in unison and hone their technique. The new space will also house 30 indoor rowing machines—ergometers—and consolidate all training to the boathouse, allowing two teams to practice simultaneously.

The new equipment adds another selling point for re-cruits. While Hanover’s winters are tough, coaches have historically touted conditions on the Connecticut River. “We’ve got over 40 miles of rowable water—that’s a longer stretch than most places—and in my four years here, we’ve never had a practice where we couldn’t go out on the river due to wind,” says Allen. The renovation, scheduled for completion at the end of 2019, includes a makeover of ven-tilation systems and locker rooms.

Dartmouth’s rowing program has come a long way from its humble, albeit creative, beginnings. In 1937, oarsmen carved a hole through a frozen Occom Pond to create their own rowing tank with a makeshift barge.

Tucked into the pines as a place of respite for the team, the 1980s-era boathouse gradually morphed into the team’s training grounds. Like the renovation, it was constructed solely with alumni donations. “Our goal is to give the best possible experience to undergrads,” says Andre Hunter ’83, president of Friends of Dartmouth Rowing.

The Indian World of George WashingtonColonials called Washington the “Father of his Country.” Native Americans knew him as Conotocarious—Devourer of Villages. This National Book Award-nominated biography by Calloway, a pro-fessor of history and Native American studies, focuses on Washington’s Indian policy and frontier dealings. Calloway mas-terfully recounts how the Sen-eca half-king Tanaghrisson, a seasoned warrior and diplomat, bested the young Washington and sparked the French and In-dian War. But the future presi-dent was a quick study. During Revolution-ary War negotiations with the Mohawks, their leader Joseph Brant warned other tribes that the general is “very cunning, he will try to fool us if he can.”

To learn their stories, she traveled the globe, interviewing workers and activists in Asia, Europe, Latin Ameri-ca—and the United States. Her fast-paced narrative introduces readers to a Marxist organizer of hotel workers in Rhode Is-land, the survivor of a garment factory collapse that killed 1,134 in Bangladesh, and McDonald’s workers in Manila struggling for full-time employment. She says that amid “the ravages of neo-liberalism” emerging worker-led social responsibility codes leave her hopeful about the future.

“Any conflict resolution is an information game. The more information you have from the other person, the more power you have to resolve the issue and achieve your goals,” says White, who began her career in law and now teaches courses on negotiations and conflict management at Tuck School of Business. “Too many times we enter into a conflict thinking that we have to persuade or corner the other person so that they must do what we want them to do. That never works.” Instead, White offers this advice. —James Napoli

>>> Fruit flies can learn to tip off other fly species about parasitoid wasps, according to a new study in PLOS Genet-ics by Balint Kacsoh, Adv’18, a graduate student at the Geisel School of Medicine. Kacsoh’s research team exposed a group of flies to some wasps in a clear compartment. During the course of a week, researchers observed the initial cohort of “teacher” flies using wing movements to communicate the threat to a different species of “student” flies in a neighboring compartment. They responded to the alarm by laying fewer eggs. “It really surprised us that an insect we think is so simple and whose behavior is mostly thought of as being hard-wired has this compli-cated repertoire of language and that socialization has such a big impact on its ability to learn and interpret cues in its environment,” says Kacsoh.

STAY CALM“First, diagnose the problem: Is there a misunderstanding? Is there a personality conflict? Does a person just rub you the wrong way? Or do you have a conflict over real resources or a difference of opinion on a decision that needs to be made? I would separate out the feelings that I have right off the bat because I don’t want to be driven by my emotions. I want to recognize them, but I don’t want to be driven by them.”

LISTEN“Sit down face-to-face. Always give the other person a chance to talk. Try to get to the root of the problem and frame it around common goals. Use ‘I’ statements. For example, you might start by saying, ‘Here’s what I’m trying to accomplish,’ or, ‘Here’s what I think we’re working toward.’ Try to get agreement on general principles, then bring out the particular issues. Negotiation is interpersonal.”

BARTER“After you feel that both parties understand each other completely and have all the relevant information, you can make a proposal. You may not do it all in one conversation, and you might need to get more people involved at the table. If you’re not sure the other person is ready to go along, put two proposals on the table. Don’t think of it as a tug-of-war, where there’s a winner or a loser. It’s an exchange.”

GET IT IN WRITING“If a coworker is truly toxic, try to reduce the degree of interdepen-dence between the two of you and put everything in writing. A face-to-face meeting is fine, but follow up ev-erything in an email so you have a paper trail. You don’t want to have to get back together to relitigate what was decided the last time, because then the con-flict will persist.”

>>> The northeastern United States has seen an increase in “extreme precipitation events” (two or more inches of rain or snowfall within 24 hours) following a major spike in 1996, reports geography professor Jonathan Winter in the Journal of Geophysical Research. Winter and his colleagues analyzed data from hundreds of weather stations and discovered that the Northeast is the only region of the country experi-encing such a significant rise in ex-treme rainfall. The team identified a warming Atlantic Ocean—combined with warmer atmospheric tempera-tures and human-caused climate change—as the primary factor driving more intense tropical storms up the Eastern Seaboard. “Humans have been increasing the tempera-tures. It’s safe to say we’re causing part of it,” says Winter. “The dice are loaded for more precipitation.”

Magic to Live ByReid Duke ’11 earns big money on the pro circuit of the game Magic: The Gathering. b y R O B W O L F E ’ 1 2

living. “But we supported his plan as long as he could make enough money to live on.”

A few months later Duke won the On-line World Championship and a grand prize of $25,000. He spent the next few years working odd jobs and traveling to dozens of competitions and amassing “pro points” to help him climb the player rankings. His success and subsequent ranking give him an advantage: In Hartford Duke starts his first day with three byes. Duke steam-rolls several hopeful amateurs, includ-ing 10-year-old Dylan Copple of Jupiter, Florida, whose father says Magic helped his son learn to read.

That night, having clinched a spot in the second day’s competition, The Pan-theon adjourns to a nearby barbecue joint. They strategize over beers and brisket: What matchups should they be prepared for tomorrow? What would be the ideal move in a given game situation?

Day Two of the tournament has a differ-ent air. The few remaining players sit tense, shoulders hunched, heads down, focused on their cards, cordoned off from spectators so judges can rush to every call.

Duke opens with a loss. Now he has to win every match to get to the finals. Still, he looks tranquil as he shuffles up to play his Round 10 opponent, Sean Sabia, who soon steals Duke’s Tarmogoyf and stifles his game.

The match is close. One clever play or mistake could swing the momentum. In a decisive moment, Duke makes a bold move but is stymied. He shows rare signs of frus-tration, picks up his cards and snaps them, one by one, into the graveyard of played cards. Soon he extends his hand in conces-sion. There will be only token prize money for Duke this time.

His friends gather afterward to swap stories, but Duke sits alone in the middle of the now-empty row, looking at his phone. “If it doesn’t sting a bit, that means you don’t care enough,” he says.

Yet even when a pro player is knocked out of contention, the grind isn’t over. To gather more “pro points” for tournament byes, appearance fees, and to uphold his world ranking, Duke needs to play more games.

Soon enough, the Duke of Magic finds his seat for the next round. He shakes his victim’s hand and starts shuffling.

powerful cards. Worse, his opponent has stolen his Tarmogoyf, a powerful scaven-ger of the grave. The stakes are high. With $10,000 in prize money on the line at Grand Prix Hartford and several thousand spec-tators watching closely at the convention center in Connecticut’s capital, Duke is facing elimination.

Duke, the world’s third-highest ranked player of Magic: The Gathering, makes a comfortable living playing the game. On-lookers knew he’d faced higher stakes with aplomb. In November 2011, as his class-mates were starting new jobs, Duke, having graduated early, was in San Francisco, com-peting in the Magic Online World Champi-onship. He won. “It was super intense,” he recalls. “I felt almost like a weight pressing in on me.” Compared with that, this Hart-ford match was nothing.

Duke, who stands atop an estimated 20 million Magic players around the world, travels the globe to uphold his ranking. From Toronto to Tokyo, he plays in tour-naments with grand prizes of up to $50,000. In 2017 he spent 35 weekends on the road and logged 65,000 miles while hauling in prizes and appearance fees.

The day before his Connecticut card-playing crisis, Duke strolled into the Hart-ford convention center with his best friends, Magic pros known as “The Pantheon.” Magic is almost always a one-on-one duel, but these card-carrying all-stars give each other advice on strategy before matches. On that sunny Saturday morning they’re among 1,800 play-ers, mostly young men in cargo pants and graphic Ts who sit in row after row of tables, shuffling, casting dice, and calling out to black-shirted officials with cries of “Judge!”

Known affectionately as “The Duke” to

fans, he has gained a following for his calm, deliberate play, his kindness to beginners, and his distinctive hairstyle, middle-parted bangs straight out of a 1990s boy band. A gaggle of fans track him in Hartford, wait-ing to ask him for a photo, an autograph, or advice on card choices.

“He’s an amazing teacher,” says auto-graph seeker John Johnson, a professor of astronomy at Harvard. Before friends dragged him to a Magic game shop, he thought it was a role-playing exercise where people “dressed up as knights or something.” Afterward, he was hooked. “It’s almost infinitely complex,” Johnson says. “But it exists in this finite space.”

In Magic, two card-wielding wizards face off to cast spells and summon creatures to defeat each other in an intricate battle of wits. The goal of each player in most cases is to reduce his opponent’s “life total” from 20 to zero. There are as many ways to play Magic as there are to play poker, but competitors at major tournaments usually bring their own hand-crafted decks, carefully assembled from the strongest cards in their personal collections.

In recent years more and more players have flocked to Magic and its video-game

cousins. Newzoo, a leading company in online gaming market research, predicts that in a few years professional leagues for games such as Magic, World of Warcraft, Dota 2, and League of Legends will become a multi-billion-dollar global business. This “e-sports” industry is expected to reap nearly $1 billion in revenues in 2018.

Duke grew up in the hamlet of Sugar Loaf, New York, where he was introduced to the game at 5. (His brother, Ian, also picked up the game, and he now designs Magic cards.) In high school Duke cultivated a love of competition on his rowing and math teams and in mock trial events. Duke says he owes some of his Magic prowess to his major in economics, the science of choice.

“We were a bit surprised,” says his father, Don, recalling when their son told his parents he wanted to play Magic for a

Every time Dartmouth athletes step onto the playing fields, we feel a tremendous sense of unity across our campus. We revel in their triumphs and agonize over defeats. We clench our collective fists as they try to hang onto a narrow lead and

rejoice at the sight of a record-setting performance or game-winning goal in the final few minutes of play.

Each year, and particularly at Homecoming, I am reminded of the power of sport to bring us together. For those few hours when we are assembled in the stands at Memorial Field—or at any of our venues on campus—we are bound together in common purpose, setting aside differences to focus on rooting the Big Green to victory. By the same token, the athletic experience brings together hundreds of student-athletes, united by their passion for sport and their competitive spirit. For them the experience is transformative.

I’ll always remember the 2015 Dartmouth-Harvard football game. We suffered a crushing blow, losing 14-13 in a game we had dominated for the first three quarters. It was a tight race for the Ivy League title that year. Both teams were undefeated, and with the loss, Dartmouth’s championship hopes dimmed. With three games left in the season, the Big Green showed up fighting, winning all three outings—including a come-from-behind victory over Princeton in the final game—to tie for the Ivy League title. For me, the memory of running back Kyle Bramble ’16, Th’16, weaving his way into the end zone with 24 seconds to play in that game is as vivid today as it was three years ago.

But we all know it’s not just about winning or losing. It’s the collective, shared experi-ence we remember long after the competition is over. For passionate fans such as Gail and me, it was a moment of elation as we stood with hundreds of other fans who lingered long after the game was over to bask in the victory together. For the athletes involved, mounting that comeback was the ultimate lesson in perseverance.

Athletics are among the purest forms of experiential learning. More than anything else, that’s the reason we value and invest in our athletic programs. Student-athletes learn skills that extend far beyond the playing field—determination, resilience, integrity, teamwork. Those attributes, inherent in sport, are among the most valuable and transfer-

rable skills today. Club sports provide those opportunities as well, in addition to the personal growth that comes from students assuming responsibility for scheduling, transportation, fundraising, and logistics.

Every year Gail and I strive to attend at least one game, match, or meet for each of Dartmouth’s 34 varsity athletic teams. A highlight for us last year was bearing witness to Cha’Mia Rothwell ’20 blow-ing away the competition in the 60-meter hurdles during the 2018 Indoor Ivy League Heptagonal Championships. In addition to setting Dartmouth and Ivy League records in that race, she posted the fastest time in New England history and was named female track performer of the meet, with two event titles and a second-place finish. More than just the victories, we admired the countless hours of training and hard work that led to her spectacular 8.20-second sprint to the finish line.

As you sit on the sidelines at your next Big Green sporting event, think about all that our athletes and coaches put into and get out of the athletic experience, and just how much athletics enrich the Dartmouth experience for us all.

Legendary NBA basketball coach Phil Jackson once said, “Not only is there more to life than basketball, there’s more to bas-ketball than basketball.” Indeed, an invest-ment in athletics is an investment in our community, our educational mission, and the leadership development of hundreds of student-athletes across our campus. Win or lose, that’s something to celebrate.

More Than a GameThe field of play has long been a realm of

experiential learning. . b y P H I L H A N L O N ’ 7 7

Blood, Guts, and BeerMishaps dogged a student leader of campus blood drives—until he tapped a winning idea.

b y W I L L I A M L A M B ’ 6 7

It was a dark fall night in Hanover. Standing just beyond the arc of the streetlights in front of Dartmouth

Hall, I didn’t see the black lug wrench flying at me. Moments later, as I came to my senses, I found myself on the ground with a broken nose and blood oozing from my lips. Spitting out part of a tooth, I stood up under the 4-by-16-foot-long “GIVE BLOOD!” banner I’d raised a few days earlier.

Ironically, I was the one who had thrown the wrench.

Dartmouth was again hosting a blood drive for the College and Hanover. In past years there had been lackluster support, as only about 75 students or residents had donated during the quarterly drives. In spring 1964, I volunteered to take over the job of running the event from a graduating fraternity brother. Determined to increase participation, I tried my best to get the at-tention of students and town residents be-fore each drive.

Sometimes things didn’t go as well as I had hoped.

With a long length of rope and an exten-sion ladder, I hung the banner high along College Street, attaching the ends of the rope to two stately elms on the Dartmouth Hall side of the Green. Wanting to avoid needing a ladder to take down the banner when the drive ended, I tied the sign to the elms with tight slipknots. To ensure the sign wouldn’t be stolen, I rigged it so no lines dangled. My knots would loosen only when I pulled extra hard on the banner.

To do so, I would have to tie one end of a rope to my car’s bumper and the other to my lug wrench. Then I would hurl the wrench—with the rope attached—over the banner with enough force to ensure it would land far away. After retrieving it, I would tug both ends of the rope and yank down the banner.

Now that the drive was over, I flung the wrench with all the strength I could mus-ter. Hearing it whoosh as it flew over the banner, I started to step where I thought it would land. Unfortunately for me, in-stead of running out 50 or 60 feet straight ahead, the lug wrench somehow abruptly changed direction and swung back, scor-ing a bull’s-eye in the middle of my face.

This wasn’t the only time my efforts backfired. For the drive two years later, I bought a 10-foot-diameter weather bal-loon that I planned to fill with helium. I would paint “GIVE BLOOD!” on it and tether it to a light pole at the corner of Wheelock and Main, Hanover’s main in-tersection. Throughout the day, it would remind students and town residents on their way to work or class to do a good deed.

It was unusually cold that morning. I inflated the balloon without incident. Pick-ing up our brushes, a fraternity brother and I painted streaky but legible letters on its surface. As we finished, we realized that instead of drying naturally, the paint froze. Moments later, as we launched our flying advertisement, a breeze rippled its skin. The shell of frozen paint instantly trans-formed into hundreds of tiny, razor-sharp knives that pierced the balloon’s thin skin. The resulting muffled explosion deflated both the balloon and my ego.

By late winter 1967, I realized I needed to do something more grounded. With the campus still covered in deep snow, I de-cided to use the Green itself as the can-vas for yet another “GIVE BLOOD!” sign. Shortly after dawn one day, I mixed gallons of green food coloring to use as paint. As I walked out each letter, I poured the “paint” on the snow, certain these 20-foot-high let-ters would alert everyone as they traveled around the campus.

When I was halfway through, I looked back to admire my work. The letters were

nowhere to be seen. Just as syrup poured on a sno-cone sinks to its bottom, all my “paint” had seeped to the ground, leaving no trace on the surface of the snow. Feeling defeated, I finished the job anyway.

When the blood drive ended, I stopped by The Dartmouth to ask its editors to pub-lish the results in the next edition. A staffer told me that the previous day a strange story had come in over the news wire. The captain of a commercial airliner flying over Hanover had filed a report saying Dartmouth must be mighty serious about its blood drive, because someone had painted a gigantic “GIVE BLOOD!” sign in the snow on the campus Green. Some of the newspaper’s staff had looked out a second-story window overlooking the Green, but seeing no such message, they ignored the report. My sign reached newspapers across the country, but no one in Hanover ever saw or heard about it.

Not all of my ideas were painful embar-rassments. One worked beautifully, and it came to me early on. Knowing Dartmouth students’ love affair with beer and ignoring New Hampshire’s minimum drinking age of 21, I brazenly asked Dean of Students Thaddeus Seymour if the College would

give kegs to the fraternity and dormitory whose members contributed the most blood. It would be Dartmouth’s very own “blood replacement program.”

Thanks to Dad Thad’s response, my job became simple. I just needed to get out the word and deliver the beer. Droves of young men swarmed our blood drives, and dona-tions jumped by nearly 1,000 percent. The Red Cross was ecstatic.

What happened after the lug wrench hit me? I pulled down the “Give Blood!” sign and picked up a keg that just happened to have been won by my fraternity. Two-thirds of my brothers had given pints, and by the end of that evening they were replaced in full.

S P O R T S

Three-For-AllOne night more than 50 years ago, the men’s basketball team went back to the future with a bold experiment in scoring. b y C H A R L E S M O N A G A N ’ 7 2

It wasn’t the score that made national headlines when Dartmouth played Boston University on January 28,

1961, in Hanover. What was historic was how the game was scored. In a first for the NCAA—and 25 years before it officially introduced the three-point line—every field goal counted for three points.

Dartmouth coach Alvin “Doggie” Ju-lian came up with the idea. The former head coach of the Boston Celtics, then in his 11th year at Dartmouth, was tired of free throws. Only three years earlier the one-and-one rule had been put in place, allowing an extra foul shot once a six-foul limit had been reached. Julian hated it.

“This game wasn’t meant to be de-cided by free throws,” he told a reporter, adding that too many teams were losing despite scoring more field goals than their opponents. “We increased the value of the foul with the one-and-one rule,” he told The Boston Globe. “Why not enhance the value of the field goal now?”

Julian’s frustration was only exacer-bated by his team’s woeful performance that season. After leading his players to strong showings in the late 1950s, Julian found himself in charge of a disaster that was headed for a 5-19 record. He was desperate for change and, with nothing to lose, hatched a plan to change the game. Three-point field goals, he argued, “could cut down on sloppy bombing and make teams work for good shots.”

At a meeting of Ivy League coaches two weeks before the BU game, Julian, chair-man of the coaches’ rules committee, made his case. His peers didn’t like the idea, but they grudgingly gave permission for Julian to play an experimental game. BU coach John Burke, leading a 5-9 team, shrugged. “We’ll be glad to try the new rule and see what happens,” he told The Boston Globe.

“Can you imagine the fans’ reaction if a team is losing by three points, has the ball, and has a chance to tie it with one shot? The fans will go wild,” said Julian.

Even the guys who played the game don’trecall making history.

The coach never claimed the three-point-er would solve basketball’s problems. “But I think something should be done. Maybe this will focus attention on the need for change,” he told The Dartmouth. “All I want is that the need for some kind of change be realized.”

Twice before the NCAA had used a three-point shot. In 1945, Columbia played Fordham using a 21-foot three-point line. Fans loved it, but nothing came of it until 1958, when St. Francis and Siena played with a 23-foot three-point line. “Each team scored one three-pointer, then forgot all about it,” read one newspaper account.

ONCE THE GAME WAS SCHEDULED, The Dartmouth produced a barrage of

critical stories. “It will cause more fouling than ever,” Holy Cross coach Roy Leenig told the paper. “Doggie’s nuts on this one,” added Princeton coach Frank “Cappy” Cappon. Teammates Steve Swirsky ’63, Sam Barton ’63, and Dan Berry ’61 all came out against the experiment. The three-pointer gives you “more reason to foul at the end of the game,” Barton told the paper. “Better to clobber your man and risk two from the charity line than three from outside.”

The Dartmouth even produced a chart demonstrating that up to that point in the season, Julian’s rule would have made no difference in his then 2-10 record.

Julian held firm.A later-than-usual 9 p.m. start drew a

capacity crowd of about 2,000, mostly stu-dents. Dartmouth took early control, led

HOOPLA“Doggie’s nuts on this one,” said a rival coach of the three-point idea proposed by Dartmouth’s Julian (shown here in 1960).

57-44 at the half, and won, 119-89. Without the new rule, the final tally would have been 85-67. “The only noticeable differ-ence: the score was higher,” sniffed Sports Illustrated. “Judging from the score, unin-formed Dartmouth alumni might believe that the Indians had imported Wilt Cham-berlain, Oscar Robertson, or maybe Bob Cousy for their high-scoring triumph,” The New York Times reported.

Julian’s failed experiment was soon forgotten. There’s no record of him at-tempting it again. When contacted by DAM, no one at BU’s or Dartmouth’s athletics departments knew of the game, includ-ing Big Green coach David McLaughlin. “You always have ideas on what rules could be changed,” he says. “It’s amazing to me that one guy like Doggie could have imple-mented his idea in an actual NCAA game. Different times, I guess.”

Even the guys who played the game don’t recall making history. Not guard Steve Spahn ’63, who scored 13 points, or forward Charles Church ’62 or guard Elliot Gerson ’63. “I have little recollection of the three-point field goal experiment against BU,” recalls guard Howard Keys ’61. (At DAM’s request, the athletics department went digging and discovered an old score sheet, which you can view on our website.) Dartmouth center George Ramming ’61 and guard Robert West ’63 dominated the game, scoring a combined 70 points.

In December 1966, Julian collapsed while coaching his team during a tourna-ment in Rochester, New York. He died seven months later. The next year he was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.

The idea of a three-pointer didn’t die with him. The American Basketball Asso-ciation implemented a three-point line in 1967, the NBA adopted the rule in 1979, and the NCAA joined the fray in 1986.

“I suck at digital,” confesses Lara Porzak. “I just don’t get it.” In a world full of pixels, Porzak is a hardcore analog adherent.

Without formal training, she’s mastered her craft through years of obsessively tinkering with vintage equipment, much of which dates back to photography’s 19th-century origins. She has held onto hard-to-find film stocks and printing paper for more than a decade, and she has sources in Los Angeles and Santa Fe, New Mexico, for other specialized supplies. “It’s not called ‘collecting’ when you are a hoarder,” Porzak deadpans.

Ethereal tintype images and film prints lined the white walls of her temporary gallery in Venice, California, last summer. The tintypes are created on metal using a process that’s well over 100 years old. Her portraits and photographs of animals and nature are rendered with painterly imperfection. Whether it’s an over-sized butterfly meticulously materialized through manipulating close-up lenses and 1860s photo-processing chemistry or a hazy, forested landscape, there’s a haunting quality and spiritual depth to her work.

“Beauty is beauty. If I see it, I’m going to do it,” she says. “I go

to Yosemite and photograph Half Dome. Am I going to do it as well as Ansel Adams? Hell, no. Will I do it differently? Yes.”

After graduating as a theater major, Porzak—daughter of Brian Porzak ’65—moved to Santa Fe, in part because of the awe-in-spiring light. There she found movie production work. “I always had a camera, but I didn’t know you could make ends meet with it,” she says. “I’m still not convinced you can.” In the early 1990s she was an assistant director in Romania on a series of slasher movies. Subsequent unglamorous gigs in prop departments and on sets took her to Los Angeles.

In 1994 she was a bridesmaid in the wedding of her friend, actress Elisabeth Shue, whom Porzak met through Shue’s brother, Andrew ’89. “I didn’t know what to give her, so I took some pic-tures,” Porzak says.

She quit the movie business and eventually shot enough high-

profile weddings—including those of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi and Annette Bening and Warren Beatty—to pay the bills and plow ahead with her film, tintype, and daguerreotype projects.

If couples want traditionally framed, razor-sharp Technicolor-esque wedding portraits, she’s not the one for the job. Instead, Porzak’s images have a dreamy aesthetic, which she captures on film with inexpensive plastic Diana cameras. She has numerous Dianas, each with “its own voice,” she says. “I decide which voice and which lighting to articulate” what’s in the frame. “It’s like a painter picking which brush and which color to use, and that’s where the magic begins.”

On a grassy plateau in the central Ethiopian Highlands, thousands of feet above the Great Rift Valley, Kerby discovered the power of images to enhance both research and storytelling. He traveled to the region in 2011 with anthropologist Vivek Venkataraman, Adv’16, to join scientists at the Guassa Gelada Research Project on an expedition to document the interactions of Ethiopian wolves and gelada monkeys, the world’s only grass-eating primates. Kerby returned from the National Geographic-funded trip with more than 20,000 photos, some of which he presented at the magazine’s headquarters in Washington, D.C.

“The senior natural history editor told me, ‘Don’t just focus on pretty pictures of monkeys. That’s not a story. Make sure you get behaviors—those are interesting.’ That advice stuck with me,” says Kerby. “You can’t just take a bunch of nice pictures and expect someone else to tell the story for you. That’s at the core of your job as a photographer.”

With the encouragement of photojournalist mentors and Nat Geo staff, Kerby continued to develop his camera skills in the field. He captured dramatic shots of gelada monkeys during moments of play, aggression, birth, rest, and death. After a few additional trips funded by National Geographic Society grants, his pictures were published in a feature article in the April 2017 issue of the magazine.

“Photos are great for telling stories, but they’re also fantastic sources of scientific data,” says Kerby, whose research as a postdoc-toral fellow in Dartmouth’s Neukom Institute for Computational Science examines the impact of climate change on the ecology of Arctic tundra. “I use drones to spy on natural landscapes as they change. You can use technology to tell a story that’s beyond what

humans can observe on their own, for example, by making a 3-D model that captures the thawing of permafrost over a huge area and several years.”

For the past three years Kerby has joined the environmental studies foreign studies program in southern Africa to assist un-dergraduates with landscape mapping and analyses using drone photography. Back in Hanover, students have pulled data from videos of robots in a BattleBot-esque arena as part of an exer-cise that explores animal behavior and landscape patterns in Kerby’s upper-level course, “Spatial Thinking in Ecology and Conservation.”

Recently Kerby cofounded the High-Latitude Drone Ecol-ogy Network, a group of researchers from across Eurasia and North America who share field expertise and develop protocols for landscape mapping in challenging northern environments. He’s optimistic about the potential of drone photography as a tool for science. “There’s a lot of opportunity to shift how we’re look-ing at climate change in the Arctic,” he says. “How can we revisit this challenge from a new perspective? Sometimes you have to bring new tools to old problems. That’s when the most powerful advances happen.”

V I S U A L D ATA “Photos are great for telling stories, but they’re also fantastic sources of scientific data,” says Kerby, who accompanied under-grads on the environ-mental studies foreign studies program in Namibia (above). “If you get someone to stop and make them curious, then you’ve succeeded as a photographer.” He has also used cameras to document animal behavior in the Ethio-pian Highlands (below) and climate change in the Canadian Arctic (bottom).

“Be intensely yourself ” was Ralph Steiner’s advice to aspiring photographers. In a career that spanned seven decades, the artistic acrobat leapt from one genre to another. He produced stunning im-ages notable for their odd angles, abstraction, and bizarre content.

Steiner was pen pals with Ansel Adams. He dined with photo pioneer Alfred Stieglitz and his wife, artist Georgia O’Keeffe. He rubbed shoulders with Henri Cartier-Bresson and was a lifelong friend of Dust Bowl documentarian Walker Evans.

“He was one of a few people who bridged pure abstraction and representation in photography and folded a social, political bent into his work in the 1930s,” says Kelly Sidley ’98, an assistant photography curator at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Steiner’s bold eye won him multiple spots in the first photography exhibition at MoMA in 1937, a groundbreaking event that came at a time when photographers sought validation that their genre was a legitimate art form.

Nearly 60 years after graduating from Dartmouth, Steiner wrote that he “became a madman photographer to escape going

into the [family] brewing business.” It was not an easy transition. “In those days—1917 to 1921—to be at Dartmouth, Jewish, neurotic, and shy was like being

a Martian with a green head and four eyes,” he told an interviewer. “I was a skinny little guy, afraid of the world, and couldn’t very well be captain of the football team, so I took up photography. There must be something about shyness and the darkroom, something in all that hiding in the gloom.”

Steiner, a chemistry major, wanted to study photography at Dartmouth, despite fearing students might think he had “homo-sexual leanings” due to his serious interest in the arts. Biology professor Leland “Doc” Griggs, a nature photographer, told Steiner he could convince the College to let him teach a photography course. Steiner was thrilled.

He was the only student in the class. The two eccentrics (Griggs enjoyed walking around town with a tame crow on his shoulder, according to Steiner) got along splendidly. Griggs’ kitchen served as their classroom, and “gigantic” portions of strawberry shortcake highlighted their meetings.

Upon graduating, Steiner published his first book, Dartmouth. Its 24 images show the campus in winter stillness and at play. “It is not the moment of majesty that [Steiner] prefers to catch, or of climax—but the moment of revelation,” Dartmouth art professor Homer Eaton Keyes, class of 1900, wrote in the book’s introduction.

Steiner evolved his soft-focus Pictorialism style to become a sharp-edged Modernist. His 1920s photos of typewriter keys and industrial power switches are “geometrically bold, stark, graphic images that celebrate the machine age,” says Anne Havinga, senior curator of photographs at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. His lens also captured warped movie, cigarette, and soda pop billboards that were “at once celebratory of mass culture and critical of the phony promises of the advertising industry,” according to Anne McCauley, a professor of the history of photography and modern art at Princeton.

Seeking other challenges, he left photography for the movies as the decade ended. In 1929 he directed H2O, one of the first Ameri-can art movies, which consists of 11 minutes of water rippling, gushing, dripping, splashing, undulating, and reflecting light. He worked as cinematographer on the 1936 Dust Bowl documentary The Plow That Broke the Plains. Following work as photo editor for the experimental leftist newspaper PM, Steiner went to Hol-lywood in the early 1940s for an unsatisfying stint as an assistant producer for MGM mogul Louis B. Mayer.

As a magazine and publicity photographer after WW II, Steiner displayed his mastery of portraiture. He had an eye for the freak-ish and quirky. He shot stripper Gypsy Rose Lee and her sequined entourage arrayed around a Rolls Royce on, of all places, a dirt road. On assignment in the late 1940s for Walker Evans, then a Fortune magazine staffer, Steiner wangled CEOs into kooky situations, such as riding a burro or driving a forklift.

Later in life Steiner fell in love with classical forms. His im-ages of sheets billowing on clotheslines make them look like Greek gowns. He even made a movie with the wry title A Look at Laundry.

wouldn’t get lost, but the lis-tener might,” says Jim Hughes,

founding editor of Camera Arts magazine. He and Steiner became friends when Steiner, in his 80s (“a bundle of energy,” Hughes recalls) lived in a white frame house near the Green in Thetford, Vermont. “His eyes, even behind thick lenses, did twinkle when he wanted to be amusing, which was most of the time,” says Hughes.

He visited Steiner at his summer place on Maine’s Monhegan Island, where the photographer spent hours patiently waiting to capture the right cloud at the right moment. He hoped the resulting images would break the shackles of consciousness and cause viewers to free associate. This dream-stuff is the subject of his 1985 book In Pursuit of Clouds, which was published a year before his death at 87.

“It’s a shame he’s not better known,” says Edwynn Houk, whose self-named galleries in Manhattan and Zurich represent the estates of top Modernist photographers (but not Steiner’s). One of Steiner’s most powerful images, says Houk, shows two tiny figures standing against the looming vast sea as seen from a high vantage point. Two Men and the Ocean is “virtually a self-portrait of the artist,” he says. “Someone who feels so isolated and separate from the world. It seems like a very personal picture.”

“I’ve never had the need to shove what I’ve done under anyone else’s eyes,” the self-effacing Steiner once said, and Sidley and Houk agree that the rarity of his gallery shows hurt his career and limited his name recognition.

Less interested in fame than in being true to himself, Steiner said, “A creative person sees things not as they are, but as he is.” He was known for saying, “By showing a picture, you’re showing an X-ray of your heart.”

A Skimo JourneySki mountaineer champ wants to grow the sport. by HEATHER SALERNO

SILITCH GREW UP ON THE SLOPES of New England as an alpine and Nordic racer in high school and as a member of Dartmouth’s ski team and Mountaineer-ing Club. But before moving to Chamonix, France, in 2001, she’d never tried ski moun-taineering, or “skimo.”

In this sport, skiers hoof up tall peaks, often several thousand vertical feet, wear-ing skis that are sheathed in snow-gripping mohair climbing skins. Then they rip off the skins and blast downhill. “At the top there are people with cowbells cheering,”

she says. “It is essentially the old way of skiing—before chair lifts—when you’d work for your turns.” Events range from team efforts that can last four days to individual sprints—Silitch’s specialty—that are over in three minutes.

Soon after seeing skimo for the first time, Silitch’s competitive side kicked in. She started training hard in 2008 and became one of the only American contenders on the European-dominated circuit.

Silitch didn’t enter her first major contest until she was 35, after she gave birth to her two sons, which put her up against racers in their 20s. Yet Silitch took home gold in 2012 at the World Cup, racing in Tromso, Norway, at the age of 40. She claimed gold again the following year—this time on the slopes of Italy’s active volcano, Mount Etna. She’s the only North American to accomplish this feat. “Winning two gold med-als wasn’t really what was important,” she says. “It was about the journey—the sweat, the tears—all of the things that got me there.”

Until recently Silitch lived in Park City, Utah, where she juggled work as a fifth-grade teacher and advocate for skimo, which Outside magazine calls the hottest winter sport in North America. Silitch founded the Park City Ski Mountaineering Team in 2015, and this year the team has at least two junior members eligible to try out for the world championships. Ski mountaineering will also be part of the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics, and the sport’s governing body is pushing for its inclusion in the 2026 Olympics. “It would be one of my dreams to get one of these kids there,” says Silitch.

After she earned a teaching certificate in elementary education at the College, Silitch coached under the Col-lege’s ski director, Cami Thompson Graves. She then led courses on environmental ethics and wilderness education in the United States and East Africa as a field instructor for the National Outdoor Leadership School.

In search of a full-time teaching position, Silitch settled in Boulder, Colorado, where she met her future husband, Michael, a mountain guide. After they relocated to Chamonix, a village in the French Alps that’s home to Mont Blanc, Europe’s highest summit, she cofounded the Chamonix Ski Alpinism Club. It has grown to 80-plus members from seven countries in two years.

Now Silitch is looking forward to sharing her love for skimo in the Upper Valley. This fall she returned to New Hampshire to teach at Cardigan Mountain School in Ca-naan and coach its mountain biking and Nordic ski teams. She’ll continue to advise the Park City program and looks forward to traveling to the 2019 world championships in Villars, Switzerland.

“I will continue to help grow skimo in the United States and serve as an ambassador for the sport,” Silitch says. “The presence of more Americans is really important.”

A Tough TestEducator reforms Massachusetts school system.

AFTER HE LED TURN-AROUND EFFORTS IN SOUTH Boston and Chicago—and served as superintendent of the Wakefield, Massachusetts, school system for two years—Zrike was chosen to take on an even bigger challenge. When Massachusetts officials decided to place Holyoke’s public schools under state control in 2015 after years of chronic underperformance, Zrike was charged with im-proving around an entire district. More than 77 percent of Holyoke’s families are economically disadvantaged, and English is the second language for nearly a quarter of its 5,500 students. “Massachusetts has some of the na-tion’s best schools, but we still have tremendous pockets of struggle,” says Zrike. “That’s motivating. That’s what gets me up in the morning.”

A former principal and administrator in Boston and Chicago with a doctorate from Harvard, Zrike has extended the school day, expanded programs that allow instruction in both English and Spanish, and merged high schools. This fall marked the opening of two middle schools (including one focused on science, technology, engineering, and math) and the launch of a new high school model that allows for more personalized learning plans, with opportunities for college-credit courses, internships, and job shadowing. He has also established alternate pathways to better serve high school students who are struggling. “We know one size does not fit all,” says Zrike.

Holyoke has made dramatic progress in other areas, too, with gains in early literacy and a dropout rate cut nearly in half. Zrike says teacher retention remains an issue, and rising district costs have made improvements more difficult. He’s inspired, though, by what he sees in classrooms every day. “Students are lighting up about what they’re learning and actively participating,” he says. “To me, that is a sign of success.” —Heather Salerno

“I want our kids to have the same competitive advan-tage as any child in the state,” says Zrike. >>>>

“It’s as if you’remountain biking,going up and downdifferent peaks.”

Wristy BusinessA veteran turns to time.SOTAK NO LONGER USES A SHOE-box to store the inventory of vintage watch company Analog/Shift, an “ar-biter of iconic design,” according to luxury lifestyle magazine Robb Report. Now the firm’s timepieces, which range from $2,000 to more than $200,000, are kept under lock and key in its brightly lit Manhattan headquarters.

The company sells watches from the 1960s and 1970s—a period that chief operating officer Sotak describes as the “zenith of watchmaking.” These predate quartz and battery-powered watches, so a wearer typically has to wind them. “It’s a connection with a mechanical iden-tity,” he says. His own collection includes two 1960s Rolexes, a modern Seiko dive watch, and, for sentimental reasons, his grandfather’s watch. He’s also an enthusiast of the art of clockmaking, out of which watchmaking grew. “Buy a mantle clock, wind it, put it in your house, and let it chime,” he says. “It will remind you of time and how precious it is.” Last year Analog/Shift’s sales ticked past $5.5 million.

Sotak took the circuitous route to entrepreneurship, via two years as a news assistant with The New York Times and a decade in the Army, in-cluding a deployment in Afghanistan. “There’s no bigger catalyst for evolution in a human than being in an extreme environment,” he says. “Operating in a life-and-death space puts things into perspective quickly. It’s a great gift to be given at such a young age.”

Analog/Shift has benefited from a revitalization of interest in vintage timepieces, and the company has been featured in GQ, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and Esquire. History, design, mechanics, engineering, research and development: “There’s much more to a watch than you ever believed possible,” he says. —Rianna P. Starheim ’14

Drama KingTheater director takes his company across the globe.

AS A CHILD, GREENWOOD ENJOYED HIS FIRST theater performances at the Opera House in Lebanon, New Hampshire. Although his parents lost their house in Etna, New Hampshire, during the Depression, they sold apples to earn enough money to take him to shows, experiences that inspired Greenwood to become an actor. He has since spent more than four decades as the artistic and managing director of the theater company Sun.Ergos, which performs for schools, companies, and communities around the world.

Greenwood won a full scholarship to Dartmouth, where he majored in theater and acted with the Dartmouth Players, giving an “impressive performance as the ghostly Darius” in Aeschylus’ tragedy The Persians, according to the Aegis. After winning the coveted Marcus Heiman Award for Theater Arts, he earned a master’s from the Yale School of Drama and chaired acting-directing programs at the University of Oklahoma and the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada, where he founded Sun.Ergos in 1977. Since then Greenwood has created 62 productions and toured 26 countries, from Serbia and Singapore to Tunisia and Mexico.

“We bring stories, legends, and ideas to life, weaving the threads of the world’s cultures into the tapestry of theater and dance,” he says. With a mix of theory and practice, he pushes audiences and students to “reconsider their preju-dices and open up their minds to the cultures of the world.”

Numbers CruncherMeet the secret weapon of the NFL champion Philadelphia Eagles.

PAGANETTI GREW UP A FAN OF THE NEW ENGLAND Patriots and their coach, Bill Belichick. The hooded one inspired Paganetti, a young running back, in football as well as school. “My first real curiosity about economics came when I learned he was an economics major,” Pa-ganetti says. Injuries curtailed his college football career but allowed him to coach at his Bedford, Massachusetts, high school during his last two years at Dartmouth.

These days, armed with his econ degree, Paganetti serves as a defensive quality control/assistant lineback-ers coach for the Philadelphia Eagles. Older brother and fellow assistant T.J. preceded him to the team and helped him land an internship in 2015. During games Paganetti gets in coach Doug Pederson’s ear—from the press box—using analytics to help make crucial decisions, especially on offensive fourth downs and conversions after touch-downs. Those days typically begin with a workout and a brief review of paperwork. “So much of the NFL is about your preparation, and our game plans and strategies are finalized before game day,” says Paganetti. “Game day is actually the easiest day of the week for me.”

The rest of the week is a grind, with days running from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. His schedule is filled with meetings, practices, and assignments, all tied to strict deadlines. Days off are nonexistent, but the payoff was glorious last season. “I realized I ended up working 200 days consecutively from the start of the season to the Su-per Bowl,” Paganetti says. “It was an incredible moment to win the Super Bowl, especially with my brother. The unbelievable at-mosphere at the parade, with millions of fans lining the streets, is something I will never forget.”

MotivatedDemocratic organizer mobilizes midterm voters.

“ If we take the time to organize everywhere, there’s no such thing as unwinnable territory.”

BROWN LIERMAN CUT HER TEETH ON BARACK OBAMA’S first presidential campaign. Now as political and organizing director of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), she’s helping her party try to take back Congress and chip away at GOP control in most states. This fall’s midterm elections are “life or death,” she says. “We’re go-ing in the wrong direction, from healthcare to taxes to gun reform.”

No zip code is off limits, a major change for the DNC, which in the past focused almost exclusively on presidential elections. Brown Lierman says that led to erosion of Democratic influence, so the party’s current strategy supports candidates year-round across the country, using grassroots techniques and digital strat-egies. In many districts she’s abandoned expensive TV ads for text messaging and online videos. “TV is the least effective way to reach people we’re trying to engage with,” she says. “I’m a good example of that demographic—young black women who live in the suburbs. I don’t even have cable.” In Florida, where many races are contested, she’s scouring databases to find Puerto Ricans who

moved there after Hurricane Maria.Although she was a government and sociology major, she never

expected to pursue politics. That changed when she got an intern-ship in Senator Obama’s office. “I remember doing really important work like opening mail and giving tours,” she laughs. After gradu-ation she worked for his campaign and “totally drank all the ‘hope and change’ Kool-Aid.” Victory led to jobs in the White House and as national political director of Rock the Vote. When offered her present job last year, Brown Lierman was pregnant with daughter Belle. She wondered what she would say to her daughter if she asked her what she did when Trump—who Brown Lierman says lacks moral leadership—became president. “I need to say I was trying to fight for a better future for her,” she says.

What might the future hold? “I’ve thought about running for office. I’ve thought about becoming a full-time mom. It’s all over the place,” she says. “For now, I can’t think past November 7.”

FirstTHE ODYSSEY OF DARTMOUTH’S FIRST BLACK GRADUATE, EDWARD Mitchell, class of 1828, comes to life in this scholarly account by Lee, a pro-

fessor at Yale’s school of medicine, and Pringle, a botanist at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Ontario.

A Baptist minister, Mitchell was the first black stu-dent to graduate from an Ivy League school, and before him, only three other black men had graduated from U.S. colleges. “I realized how inconsequential a black man was at that time, and that makes his achievement so much more consequential,” Lee tells DAM.

When Mitchell started school, he was 32, by far the oldest freshman in his class. The trustees blocked his admission, but all four classes petitioned the board to admit him. “We think him entitled to the highest praise…[for his] noble and independent course,” they wrote. Soon after graduation Mitchell and his second wife and children left for present-day

Quebec, where he preached for nearly 40 years. He was “the most profound theologian ever to have resided in this region,” a Baptist historian wrote.

Baptized Edouard Michel, a Catholic, on Martinique, he was the ille-gitimate child of a French official and his mistress. French was his native language, and he spoke English with an accent. Though the island was a slave colony, he was raised free.

Like a latter-day Jonah, Mitchell found his calling at sea, first aboard a French warship at age 15 and later as a sailor on an American merchant ship. But the “numerous temptations of vice” of a sailor’s life left him fearing his “wicked course,” he later wrote. When a storm hit his two-masted brig, he prayed for deliverance. Working as a porter in Philadelphia, he married, but his wife and children died, possibly in an epidemic. “Providential fate” brought him to the College. Dartmouth President Francis Brown, returning from a trip south in 1820, stayed with a merchant for whom Mitchell worked and hired him to drive a carriage home to Hanover.

Because Mitchell left no letters or diaries, his thoughts on the Civil War are unknown. In a student essay his views on human bondage were clear. “The Christian orator…would urge [listeners] to break off the shackles of slavery,” he wrote. “But it is the slavery of sin!” —George M. Spencer

“As Mom aged, we thought it best if she stayed in her house, but, we were wrong. Even with hours of expensive home care, Mom wasn’t thriving. She needed more. She especially needed more socialization— not isolation. And more affordable and reliable access to care when she needed it. So she made the move to Wheelock Terrace.

She truly loves her elegant new home! Life is more complete in a community with lots of friends and activities, chef-prepared meals, daily care, medication management, and even transportation to appointments and outings. I visit her often, so I know Mom is happier and more relaxed now… and I am too. We only wish she’d moved sooner.”

“We are so happy Mom is thriving again.”

We’d be delighted to meet you. Please call Gretchen Stoddardat (802) 280-1910 or visit us at WheelockTerrace.com.

C L A S S N O T E S1 9 3 8 -1 9 4 9

38 I share here a blast from the past from an amazing freshman in November 1938.

“I slept 13 hours last night, missing two classes this morning. The reason was a sort of body-building ceremony [that] the Outing Clubbers call ‘going on a trip.’ There were six of us—two upperclassmen and four uninitiated and innocent freshmen. Leaving the comfort and security of Hanover Saturday afternoon, we drove northeast through unexplored wilderness of for-ests and farms.

“At the foot of Smarts Mountain we parked the car and started the climb to the top. On top of the steep south face of Smarts is the hut, a log cabin perhaps 15 by 25, well roofed and equipped with blankets, several double bunks, and an iron stove. It was damp and chilled inside when we six mud-bespattered pilgrims arrived, and with commendable enthusiasm I grabbed the axe and went for firewood. The axe looked as though gen-erations of freshmen in their search for fuel had mistaken the granite of New Hampshire for coal.

“After supper and once the dishes were washed, we sat around the stove and sang songs while it exuded smoke at every pore. There’s a choice ditty about roller-skating by St. Peter’s knees in an old Ford car with a deacon who is being converted to the full life of Mae West—you ought to learn that, Pop; go great in the Rotary Club.

“Around 9:30 p.m. we all rolled into our bunks. Upon rising, one of the two upperclass-men stood in the doorway stating, ‘What a day!’ No clouds, four inches of new snow, and I wish I had a camera.

“By the way, if old Santa Claus still is under the illusion that I am a man of virtue, I should like very much to suggest not an electric train or a machine gun, but a good pair of hickory skis. I’ve been seeing some movies of skiing up here, and it appeals to me as an escape from monotonous life, perhaps even from life itself, if done with discretion!”

Life is truly a wonderful experience and should be experienced to the fullest—live each day as if you were still a freshman with all the awe, wonder, and challenges that lie ahead. A very happy holiday season and all of life’s blessings are being sent your way!—Jean M. Francis, 2205 Boston Road O-139, Wil-braham, MA 01095

41 I feel sad as I write this, for I believe this is the end of my giving informa-tion about the class of 1941.

There has not been anything offered by members for the past two issues. I have greatly enjoyed my contacts with you, and should you feel inspired, please send your news, and I will publish it!

Dum vivimus vivamus!—Jane Hanks, 2630 Kings Crown, Fort Myers, FL 33908; [email protected]

42 Summer is nearing its end as I write this. During these past two months I had phone chats with Mary Lind-

strom (Guy Swenson’s widow) and Ginia Allison. I email and exchange letters with Bob Gale, who sends us some ruminations from Dartmouth at War. “The older I get, the more I think about WW II. So I often browse in our 2011 Dartmouth at War book. Three quotations stand out. In October 1940 John Brewer saw Jack Stinson packing his car and asked where he was going. ‘Going to Boston to join the Navy!’ John answered, ‘Wait for me!’ Rich-ard Ensor, Army soldier, wrote that ‘all we did was blow up bridges’ in the Philippines in 1944. One day a 10-year-old native boy became their guide: ‘He wore a…hempen shirt…gathered at the waist by a coconut fiber belt…. No pants. No shoes. The grin never stopped.’ Joseph Nason, Navy pilot, was shot down on October 23, 1943, while bombing Bougainville, caught by the Japanese, and later wrote that, ‘of 63 Allied prisoners…only seven survived the horrible conditions.’ On October 23, 1943, I was flown with other Air Corps men from Maine to Scotland to start my European adventures. When I talk with veterans such as Brewer, Ensor, and Nason, I say, ‘You were braver than I ever had to be.’ ”

Then Ginia Allison sent an article from the Valley News with the headline, “Tuck School Changes Admission Criteria to give ‘Nice’ a Chance.” This suggests a different and interest-ing way to view candidates. Our stereotype of a leader has been someone who thinks tough. Tuck does not think so. This is especially significant today, when we are experiencing so much hostil-ity in the news. This is the first revision of Tuck’s criteria in 15 years. As the paper reports, “The leader who can build consensus in a cooperative environment has supplanted the previous model of the imperious CEO who barks orders from the corner office without regard to how it is being received down the line, according to business school counselors.”

Again, I ask for news from each of you. It is what makes this column come alive.—Joanna Caproni, 370 East 76 St., Apt. A 406, New York, NY 10021; [email protected]

43 A fond hello to my class of 1943 family. I will be taking former class secretary John Jenkins’ role in Class

Notes. John announced in the March/April issue that he was retiring due to “late middle age,” and said he hoped a volunteer or widow would take his place.

It pained me to see no ’43 column in the past three issues. I believed and hoped a classmate closer to Hanover would rise to the occasion. When that didn’t happen, I dropped a note to John, who said, “Fine, George. You can take my place.”

So, here I am, 3,000-plus miles away in Wal-nut Creek, California. I live in Rossmoor, a gated retirement community of 10,000. I will try my best and recently received the College’s list of contact information for surviving classmates and widows.

The class of ’43 75th reunion was September 28-30, though I was unable to attend. I flew back

to Hanover and really enjoyed three previous reunions (55th, 60th, and 70th). Sadly, I missed our 65th because I had an aortic valve replace-ment surgery two weeks before the get-together.

It was more than 79 years ago that the class of 1943 matriculated on the Big Green campus—and 651 bright-eyed frosh joined together for meals in Freshman Commons. It was September 1939, and Nazi Germany had invaded Poland on September 1. We were known as the first war-time class.

I am writing this column on August 15, a date my class will never forget: V-J Day! I was on the island of Mindanao in the southern Philippines. I was a sergeant in the U.S. Army and served as a Japanese language expert.

More about that later.—George Shimizu, 2642 Saklan Indian Drive, Apt. 2, Walnut Creek, CA 94595

45 As your class secretary, I believe it’s obligatory to make it north to Ha-nover from Cape Cod, Massachu-

setts, for Homecoming Weekend October 26-28. I can then report back to the class on the current signs and sounds on the campus.

Word has reached me that the town is taking a dim view of our age-old Friday night bonfire ritual. At best, town officials want it subdued. It’s also a must that my son Del and I are at the Saturday afternoon football game with Har-vard. If there is any justice at all, the Big Green will scalp the Crimson to end the curse of 14 straight losses.

Another good reason for the odyssey is to arrange a meeting with Angela Stafford, who’s in the office of alumni relations. We want to at least start preliminary plans for our 75th reunion in October 2020. It’s hoped we can get local class president Matt Marshall at the “sit down” and have vice president Harry Hampton with us by confer-ence call. Nonpareil Angela will be advised not to expect a heavy attendance.

Our class’ condolences go out to the family of Dr. W. Arthur Staub, who led a brilliant medi-cal career and passed away last year. Surviving him are his devoted wife, Alla, three children, 12 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.—Bud Street, 99 Locust Lane, Barnstable, MA 02630; (508) 362-3780

46 Bob Skutch, who honed his writing skills as editor of Jack-O-Lantern and attending Robert Frost semi-

nars as well as rooming with Howard Samuel, editor of The Dartmouth, has offered a creative suggestion to classmates to submit any 15-min-utes-of-fame memories they may have (rather than their latest medical report).

His memory was a children’s book he wrote titled Who’s In a Family in 1995. The book in-cluded all the different kinds of families: biracial, gay, lesbian, and multigenerational, as well as animal families. In early 2000 a Boston public school offered kindergarten and first-grade stu-dents the opportunity to each pick a book from a large collection and bring it home so their parents could read it aloud. An irate father responded by storming the principal’s office, demanding that

young readers such as his son not be exposed to Bob’s book. The father, bankrolled by an organiza-tion, filed suit in federal court against the school, which prevailed on First Amendment grounds. The parent got the same organization to appeal the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which refused to hear it. Hence Bob’s 15-minutes-of-fame memory.

Following the unfortunate death last year of Jack Howard, our class lacked a president. As vice president, I requested our class executive com-mittee of Harvey White, Frank Guarini, Dave Chalm-ers, Saul Nirenberg, and Bob Levenson to nominate a president and offered to assist whomever they might select. Those who responded requested that I assume the role of president, which I have accepted. Jack set a good example of dedication and unselfish leadership, which I will attempt to emulate.

The College has sent me a complete but outdated list of our classmates. This would be a good time to update your profile with a note to me including your “most memorable 15 minutes.” My most recent update is a return to my infec-tious disease practice following recent surgery.

Our class sympathy to the families of our recently deceased classmates Michael Warden Ward, who died on April 17, and William Brown Davidson Jr., who died on May 10.—John L.E. Wolff, M.D., 860 Knollwood Road, White Plains, NY 10603; (212) 772-1700; [email protected]

47 This issue has to do with the usual class news and also the class dues. Where does your yearly contribution

go? In the past we spent it on the president’s office intern, the alumni magazine, reunions, other spe-cial projects, and the Memorial Book Fund. We no longer contribute to the above. We do, however, contribute to the Dickey Center for International Understanding, the Center for Social Impact, Dartmouth Partners in Community Service, and the athletic sponsors program. The book fund has about $21,000 in it, and books are purchased in memory of deceased classmates. That will remain so until the last classmate drops from the College rolls.

This was all started in 1968 by the class, with George Bingham in charge until his death in 2014. The College then took over. The first member of our class to have a book given in his memory was Borkess Carroll, who died in 1993. There are 61 classes that also have memorial book funds, and at the end of 2017 our fund had assigned 499 books to deceased classmates. If family or friends wish to see an assigned book while visiting Ha-nover, it can be readily identified by the library. I am indebted to Tom Wolfe, the Memorial Book Fund manager, who sent me a wealth of informa-tion to pass on to you.

We are saddened to report the death of Samuel Doyle, M.D., on December 18, 2017; Har-old Johnston on January 25; George Phippen on February 12; Theodore Platz Jr. on February 28; Robert T. Harvey on March 5; Albert G. Wilson Jr. on April 8; and Ernest Brazel on April 6.—Joseph D. Hayes, P.O. Box 697, Rye Beach, NH 03871; [email protected]

48 Regional family get-togethers are a lot of fun and from a generational point of view there is a nice sense

of continuity watching cousins relate to each other. Pete Foster’s annual gathering—45 people this year–is held in July at the Charter Hotel near Vail, Colorado. He and I remonstrated that when our children start to retire it’s a clear sign we are aging. His oldest son, Michael, is retiring after a career working with psychologically dis-turbed students in the Middletown, Connecticut, school system. His other two children, Susan and David, are continuing interesting careers. Dr. Sue Foster has been the pastor of the East Woodstock (Connecticut) Congregational Church for the last 30 years. She completed her doctor of ministry degree at the Hartford Seminary in 2014. She comments, “I am a writer, preacher, retreat lead-er, counselor, wife, mother, volunteer chaplain, daughter, sister, friend.” Her new book, Retreats to Go: Twelve Creative Programs that Renew and Refresh, is available on Amazon. David Foster, who got his Ph.D. in ecology from the University of Minnesota, is a faculty member at Harvard, where he teaches ecology and is director of the Harvard Forest, the university’s 4,000-acre eco-logical laboratory and classroom in central Mas-sachusetts. He is the principal investigator for its long-term ecological program. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation, its more than 100 scientists and students investigate the dynam-ics of New England’s landscapes and the effects of climate change, human activity, and natural disturbances. His latest book, Meeting of Land and Sea, published in 2017, reviews the ecology and future of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.—Dave Kurr, 4281 Indian Field Road, Clinton, NY 13323; (781) 801-6716; [email protected]

49 Current news is hard to come by. Quent Kopp was looking forward to celebrating his 90th birthday with

a large family reunion in Yosemite, but Mother Nature and the fires changed his plans.

Robert Ellinwood Alden died on June 25 in Stamford, Connecticut, where he lived. Bob was always a class leader, serving as president and on the executive committee for many years. Bob spent 45 years as director of sales development at WOR Radio in New York City. He is survived by his wife, Persis, son Stephen, and daughters Nancy and Susan.

Harvey Horton Chandler died on April 25 in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, where he lived. Harv spent his early career with the Public Ser-vice Co. of New Hampshire, and then with two publishing companies. He was active in com-munity affairs and enjoyed sailing and golf. Harv leaves his wife, Suzanne, son Bradlee ’81, and daughters Janet and Susan.

William Ros Davis died on April 19 in Bloom-field, Connecticut, where he lived. Bill had grad-uate degrees from Tuck and Thayer and spent his career in various executive positions at the Stanley Works in New Britain, Connecticut. Bill is survived by his wife, Lenore, sons Jeffrey and William, and daughter Katherine.

Richard Woodworth McFalls died on Febru-ary 28 in Riverside, California, where he lived.

Richard was inspired by Dartmouth philosophy professor Eugene Rosenstock-Huessy, earned his PhD., and taught at Riverside community colleges before shifting into real estate and rental renovations. He is survived by sons Lawrence and Oliver and daughter Ricarda.

Douglas Boutwell Parsons died on June 6, 2017, in Ossipee, New Hampshire, where he lived. Doug ran his own furniture store in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, for 34 years. He is survived by his wife, Barbara, three sons, and a daughter.

Joseph Frank Kelley died in March 2011 we have just learned. Joe received his M.D. from Western Reserve School of Medicine and prac-ticed in Cleveland, specializing in allergy and im-munology medicine. He was survived by daughter Elizabeth.—John Adler, 1623 Pelican Cove Road, BA123, Sarasota, FL 34231; (203) 622-9069; (941) 966-2943 (fax)

50 Our cherished classmate and class secretary Alex Hoffman has put down his pen due to illness. But although he

is no longer contributing to these Class Notes, he was able to attend the opening reception of an exhibition by his two talented children, Peter and Susan, at the Southern Vermont Art Center at Manchester, which Alex had a hand in creating. I have volunteered to take over the role of class secretary (sort of ) and roving reporter (kind of ). Classmates: I now need your information sent to me (information below), and I will try to carry on in my good friend Alex’s (and Nev Chamber-lain’s) stead.

An enticing tidbit of romantic memorabilia is that our tireless treasurer, Jacques Harlow, tied the marital knot (once again) this past summer with a wonderful lady, “Rusty” Rodriguez, in Quechee, Vermont. They can be reached at 732 Wheelock (as in Eleazar) Road, Quechee, VT 05059.

By the time this issue appears, what’s left of the fearless ’50s will have enjoyed a meaning-ful mini-reunion at the Homecoming (Harvard) weekend October 26-28. Crafted by our peri-patetic (is there really such a word?) prez and Brownlee, it started off with a Friday evening at the newly done-up Moosilauke Ravine Lodge followed by the traditional Harvard-Dartmouth “super scrimmage” the following day.—Tom “Smiley” Ruggles, 8 Concord Greene, Unit 5, Concord, MA 01742; (978) 369-5879; [email protected]

51 Charlie Russell was honored with our Spirit of ’51 Award (our 35th recipi-ent) at our “summer vacation in Ha-

nover” mini-reunion in August. He and his long-time partner, Peggy Read (widow of our classmate Howard Read), have both served on our class execu-tive committee. Charlie also edits our newsletter, ’51 Fables. He was recognized for “a lifetime of loyalty, generosity, and kindness” and as “a quiet contributor who is always giving.” Buck Scott, who received our first Spirit of ’51 Award 37 years ago, made the presentation.

Twenty-eight of us were on hand for the cel-ebration, including Nat and Howie Allen, Al Brout and daughter Ellen, Carole and Jack Giegerich, Carl

Glassberg, Barbara Hall, Jean and Pete Henderson, Ed Landau, Ki and Bill Leffler, Lu and Peter Martin, Dotty Mori, Amy and Henry Nachman, Ilse and Paul Orth, Peggy Read, Charlie Russell, Mary and Buck Scott and daughter Sally, Joe Spound, and Liz and Jack Weingarten.

The Nachmans, who have arranged so many marvelous class gatherings, once again laid on a full and varied set of events. We were treated to a spell-binding lecture by former U.S. Senate ma-jority leader and international peace negotiator George Mitchell, a local opera performance, and nonstop conversations among ’51 family mem-bers, rejoicing in 71 years of friendship since our 1947 matriculation. Next year’s Hanover mini-re-union will return to the usual fall schedule. Exact date and program details will be provided soon.

Delicious meals were served at the homes of the Weingartens, Halls, and adopted classmate Ben Schorr, whose beautiful yard was a perfect backdrop for our picnic and award presentation. We also ate at the exquisitely rebuilt Moosilauke Ravine Lodge and (are you detecting a theme here?) at ’53 Commons, where the bright decor and sumptuous food offerings bear little resem-blance to the place where we took our meals as freshmen.

Tribute was paid to five recently deceased classmates: John Greenwood, Joe Lindner, David Stillman, Tom Tenney, and Roger Thomas. Living members of our class now number 213, 31 percent of the 675 matriculants in 1947.—Pete Henderson, 450 Davis St., Evanston, IL 60201; (847) 905-0635; [email protected]

52 The weather was perfect—and so was the attendance—as classmates and family gathered in the Upper Valley at

the nearby Quechee Club in Quechee, Vermont, for our annual class of 1952 summer luncheon on August 23. We had 26 people sign up, and 26 people showed up. We trust they all had an enjoy-able afternoon. Attendees included Anne and John McDonald from Ticonderoga, New York, and Vic Trautwein from Portsmouth, Rhode Island, our most distant travelers for the occasion. Dodie and Jack Boyle, Julie and George Hibben, and Cecily and Steve Parkhurst drove up from the metropolitan Boston area, while Mary and Alden Fiertz joined us from Brattleboro, Vermont, and Judy and Gene Cesari came down from South Ryegate, Vermont. From closer to home, we enjoyed the company of Liz Russell, Judy Breed, Jane and Jack Unkles, Dan Van Dorn, Charlie Curtis and daughter Cindy Curtis, Boots and Jim Churchill, and class presi-dent Frank Logan and wife Drewry, as well as your class secretary and his wife, Maggie. In addition to the opportunity for all those gathered to have a chance to renew and share friendships, Frank Logan presented a most interesting story of the struggles of Dartmouth in the early years of the College and the role of some key participants, reminding us that Dartmouth will be celebrating its 250th anniversary in 2019. Does the name John B. Wheeler ring a bell? Frank’s presenta-tion was well researched, and his remarks will be provided to the class as a whole. As you might expect, we are not having so many of this kind of

gathering these days, like the ones we also held in New York and San Francisco for so many years. In other class news, College fund chairman Jim Churchill, reports another banner year of College support in fiscal 2018, with $374,000 committed. Unfortunately, we report the loss of several other friends in recent months. Two Cleveland class-mates, Norman Jeavons and John Klein, passed away in July, along with Frederick “Ted” Fellowes from Virginia. Nelson Ehinger, Darien, Connecticut, died in August of this year.—William Montgomery, 11 Berrill Farms Lane, Ha-nover, NH 03755; (603) 643-0261; [email protected]

53 When you read this, our sensational 65th reunion will be a pleasant mem-ory. But as I sit here writing this, ex-

citement is building as classmates contact each other to ascertain whether they will be attending. Put Blodgett and his committee have worked hard to make this reunion unforgettable. They have planned super events allowing time to rest and sit and enjoy each other as well as our wonderful College. Ron Lazar writes that his report on this year’s Dartmouth College fund for the class of 1953 is a happy one, worthy of our class of 1953 legacy of leadership. His committee of Bob Hen-derson, Phil Beekman, Dick Blum, Bob Malin, George Sarner, Bob Simpson, Allen Collins, Dick Loewenthal, Fred Stephens, Jack Avril, John Cernius, Tom Duke, Carl England, Bill Friedman, Dave Halloran, Don Mc-Michael, Dick O’Connor, Dave Stowe, Bernie Sudikoff, Tim Thomas, and Ed Weltman did an admirable job. Our class gift of $476,456 is the second-largest 65th reunion gift the College has received, and our 72.4-percent participation is a new record. The generous and some incredibly generous gifts were received from 202 classmates joined by many widows and friends. Kudos to all!

Once again, our most prolific writer, ambas-sador Peter Bridges is busy. He has just completed a second memoir, Woods, Lakes, Waters, Peaks: A Diplomat Outdoors. (Read an excerpt at the DAM website.) I have read the book and enjoyed follow-ing Peter and Mary Jane on their adventures as they climbed some of the highest mountains of the world. I would call this an ode to the natural world by a man and his wife who have taken the time and expended the energy to see it in its un-fettered beauty. In addition, Copperfield Review, which publishes historical fiction and poetry, has just published Peter’s latest poem, “Mount Hope,” about what the New England colonists of the 1600s called King Philip’s War. “King Philip” was really the great Wampanoag chief Metacomet, and this is the story as he might have told it.

With sadness, I offer the condolences of our class to the families of our dear classmates Bryon Menides, James Steubner, Scribner Fauver, and Nor-man Carpenter. We shall miss them.—Mark H. Smoller, 401 Lake Shore Road, Putnam Valley, NY 10579; (845) 603-5660

54 Dan McCarthy’s new book is Hammer and Silicon: The Soviet Diaspora in the U.S. Innovation Economy— Im-

migration, Innovation, Institutions, Imprinting, and Identity. This deeply personal book tells the

untold story of the significant contributions of technical professionals from the former Soviet Union to the U.S. innovation economy, particu-larly in the sectors of software, social media, bio-technology, and medicine. Drawing upon in-depth interviews, it channels the voices and stories of more than 150 professionals who emigrated from 11 of the 15 former Soviet republics between the 1970s and 2015 and who currently work in the innovation hubs of Silicon Valley, Boston, and Cambridge, Massachusetts.

From our intrepid swimmer Steve Mullins, “I won the 400-meter free at the Pan American championships last weekend, including breaking the 85-plus record by 45 seconds. It was the fastest race I have had in years (25 seconds faster than Budapest Worlds last year).”

Yesterday as coming home from the YMCA I was listening to NPR and heard a detailed report about what was going on in Turkey. At the sign off the speaker was identified as Peter Kenyon (Jr.)—the son of our Pete Kenyon.

Pete updated us on the ’54 projects commit-tee annual report, saying that in 2017 the class raised a very sizeable amount to be placed in an endowment fund to continue the financing of internships after the class is unable to do so. This amount has been invested, and the annual inter-est will be used to support the funds required to continue these projects. In 2018 these funds provided 50 percent of the funds required. This allows the class to sponsor or increase support to other key projects. Also, the class finances a book chosen and placed in the library in the name of each deceased classmate. The book’s title and name of the author are sent to our classmate’s widow. The fund outgrows the spending.

We are sad to announce the passing of Philip De Turk, George Fitzgerald, Ralph Gardner Griffin Jr., and Valentine Grundman.—Wayne Weil, 246 Ridge Road, Rutherford, NJ 07070; (201) 933-4102; [email protected]

55 Shortly after our stay at the Trapp Family Lodge, we spent four days in the College Grant. July Fourth saw

fireworks by heat lightning and fireflies. Hellgate Gorge has swift water for Brook Trout. We kept a 17- and a 14-incher for breakfast. We also had a good pool both above and below the rapids for day and private night swims—and should you choose, it’s a good canoe day trip down the Dead Diamond. All the cabins, managed by outdoor affairs, are well-stocked and comfortable, with good access, but Hellgate is the best summer spot.

Bob Fanger, Ted Ely, Jere Daniell, and I helped celebrate the 100th anniversary of the DOC there in 2009. Not many of us can still do Tuckerman’s or climb Moosilauke, but the Grant still awaits your visit.

Taro Shindo of Takarazuka, Japan, one of 11 classmates and widows who reside overseas or in Canada, sends greetings to the class in a re-cent email. He spends his days quietly, and, like many of us, is slowing down in activity. He adds, importantly, “It is my constant hope that America continues to be a symbol of fairness and justice and keeps the strong leadership over the world.”

News from Gere Coffey is that he will be the

keynote speaker at the 30th anniversary celebra-tion of HABCore, a support program for homeless individuals and families. Founded by his late wife, Margaret, and a small working group, HABCore started with one group home that Gere and Marge obtained and called John’s House, named for their late son. It housed five men. Today HABCore has grown to support approximately 300 homeless and low-income families, individuals, and those with special needs in Monmouth and Ocean coun-ties in New Jersey.

John Baldwin arranged a special visit for Bill Cassell’s granddaughter, Semantha Collins, to the Military Medical College in Bethesda, Maryland, where John taught for many years. Semantha is completing premed courses at Tufts University and is enrolled in Air Force ROTC. She hopes to follow in John’s footsteps as an emergency physician.

Sadly, we report the passing of John Cornman, Bob Perkins, Robert Taylor, Ed Willi, and Roger Young.—John Dinan, 20 Gardiner St., Richmond, ME 04357; (207) 252-7442; [email protected]

56 I received an email from Theodore “Max” Weymouth recommending the viewing of a Dartmouth recruiting

film titled Dartmouth Visited (1956), which can be seen by googling that title. The film is 38 minutes long, and many faces from long ago flash by—Max spotted Glen French and Dick Zock, and I spotted Bill Loyer and Hank Bloom. I recommend that you see it for yourself, and who knows who you may see.

I have much sad news at this time. Mort Galena called to say that Bob Taub had passed away. I roomed with Bob at Tau Epsilon Phi during se-nior year. I also got a call from Bill Loyer letting me know that George Yeager had passed. I vividly recall attending a class cocktail party at the lovely Yeager apartment in New York City. I have not yet received official notice from the college of George’s passing, but expect it shortly. Official notices have been received for seven others.

The sounds of the Barbary Coast jazz band marching up Main Street signal the passing of Douglas Winston Bleiler, Theron Taggart Chapman Jr., John DiNoto, Clifford Geddes Allen Jr., Stuart Klapper, James Quan, D.D.S., and Robert Jay Taub, M.D. All will be sorely missed, and remaining class members bow their heads in silent tribute.

On a lighter note, I saw Bill Hamilton and his wife, Janet, while they were celebrating their 61st anniversary at Ariana’s restaurant in the Lyme Inn, north of Hanover. Marsha and I were cel-ebrating our 60th, and we highly recommend it.

I close with the fifth stanza of my 1997 poem titled “Classmates Forever.”

Connections renewed every year,Reunions when friends reappear;Tailgating at games,Recalling the names,Homecoming a time that’s so dear.

57 Your scribe has been promising a fake news item just for fun, so here goes: A White House tweet announces Calvin

Towle was named assistant to the president for

repelling fake news. Salary is $1,000,000, plus tips. Calvin promises to succeed even if he has to arrest 140 characters.

Remember the referral last column to our class website, [email protected], managed by Adam Block? Since then, great issues of the day have been discussed by Bruce Bernstein, Bob Copeland, Jay Greene, Art Koff, Mike Lasser, Bob Marchant, Wendell Smith and Charles Tseckares. Judy Stemple and Wendie Howland weighed in as well. Tune in. It’s an entertaining and provocative read.

Byron Krantz has received the Centennial Medal Award from Case Western Reserve School of Law. It is the highest award bestowed on any graduate and recognizes demonstrated excel-lence and leadership in the practice of law and public service.

George “Pope” Urban is busy traveling with his grandchildren when he isn’t in Maryland tutoring elementary schoolchildren, working with a nonfiction group, painting with acrylics, or kayaking. He retired from his ear, nose, throat, head, and neck surgery practice two years ago, but hasn’t had time to miss it.

Bill Curry was accepted to Dartmouth Medi-cal School back in the day, but chose Union Theo-logical Seminary instead. Union sent Bill to St. Philips in Harlem for his fieldwork and changed his life forever. It’s home. He bought an old build-ing ithere n 1975 and has been restoring it ever since. He’s also a collector of arts and crafts. His collection of Grueby pottery is one of the larg-est in the country, and his contributions to the Hood Museum have earned him membership in the Bartlett Tower Society, proof there are many ways to demonstrate one’s love for Dartmouth.

Ron Read has been teaching a technical management leadership class at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. His students are scientists working on the wide-field infrared space telescope, which has a field of view 100 times greater than the Hubble space telescope and will measure light from more than a billion galaxies. Wow. Can fake news compete with the search for life-supporting planets? Don’t think so.—John W. Cusick, 105 Island Plantation Terrace, Vero Beach, FL 32963; (772) 231-1248; [email protected]

58 Reverting to his traditional role, 60th co-chair Frank Gould will be hosting the ’58 mini-reunion during the Oc-

tober 26-28 Homecoming Weekend, as this col-umn, written in August, reaches you. It’ll feature Friday’s post-bonfire to-do at Lewiston Depot in Norwich, Vermont, and Saturday’s class meeting at the Black Center in Hanover and the pregame tailgate at Dave Bradley’s nearby law office, and after the Harvard football game, the gala class banquet at the Lyme Inn. Late-deciders, contact Frank or treasurer Mike Simberkoff, per Frank’s “Go Big Green” July mailing.

Speaking of the fall mini, class veep Sam Smith proposes changing its timing permanently to an earlier, warmer, leafier, less-congested early October date. John Trimble has Sam’s proposal on his meeting agenda for this year’s mini. The


C L A S S N O T E S 1 9 5 9 -1 9 6 3

consensus in an August conference call of class officers and committee chairs was keen on Sam’s idea. That call, by the way, marked John’s kickoff of his laudable, unprecedented presidential sec-ond term. Wah-hoo-wah, John!

Other takeaways from that conference call (which occur at least bimonthly) included an af-firmation of class solvency, even after the on-bud-get cost of June’s super 60th reunion; a reminder to remember the Class of 1958 Scholarship Fund in our wills; recognition of the multiple roles still played by Ralph Manuel (memorial books, Williamson awards, etc); and an excellent sug-gestion by Hal Bernsen to publicize administration contacts for classmates with grievances about the College and how it’s run today. Take note, Frank Gado, Cack Bittner, and others.

59 Many alumni opening this maga-zine turn first to the notes for their own class, and some read not only

the notes for their class but also notes for other classes, in particular those of similar vintage. Members of ’59 who also look at notes for other classes in the senior wing of the alumni body will find a number of differences in both content and style here. While some class columns chronicle individual deaths, ’59 notes have generally omit-ted notice of individual passings and related obit-type information, leaving such matters to the “In Memoriam” section of our website (www.1959.Dartmouth.org) and to this magazine, which currently prints just the names of the deceased and posts obituaries on its website. Your current scribe does not intend to change the practice of omitting individual death notices from our Class Notes. However, having tried to focus the notes on common themes, there is no doubt that passing on has become a common theme for us octogenarians. Without listing individual names, here are some general statistics.

There were initially about 750 ’59s. Of those, 234 are known to have died as of the end of June, all of whom are listed on our website. Of those we have lost, almost 50 percent died since our 50th reunion, and 64 have died since the 55th, held in 2014. Some classmates will prefer that these notes, like some others from classes of similar vintage, include individual names and obit-type information. Others will prefer that the delicate subject of death not be addressed in these notes at all, even as a general theme. Regardless of individual preferences, we remem-ber our deceased classmates in several ways. In addition to information on our website and the memorial services held at major reunions, the class has for many years, mostly under the guid-ance of Jim Bybee, participated in the College’s memorial book program. Through this program the class underwrites the cost of books acquired by the College library system, one for nearly every deceased member of the class, bearing the name of the memorialized classmate.—Dick Hoehn, 845 Union St., Marshfield, MA 02050; (781) 834-4113; [email protected]

60 My old sailing buddy Bob Prouty is the second to last of his class at Dart-mouth Medical School to retire. Bob

fully enjoyed a pediatric practice, often seeing three generations of patients visit his office on the same day. Cheers for a philosophy major practic-ing the art of medicine.

Bruce Hasenkamp’s son, Peter ’98, Th’99, Th’00, comments on his visit to Detroit with the Thayer race car competition in 2004. “I re-member that visit quite clearly. It was one of my first interactions with a group of alumni, and I came away humbled that they would take such an interest in the Formula team and pleased to see that the Dartmouth experience is lifelong and that the friendly, inviting attitude that drew me to the College seemed to also be shared by a group of alumni I had never met. A pleasant coincidence that Sid Goldman happened to be one of the people there that day, and the 1960 thread carried through to Michigan from my upbringing in California. I try to remember that visit when I am interfacing with current undergrads or recent alumni and ensure I do my best to emulate the example you set that day.”

Ed Berkowitz is rightly proud of his nephew, Ethan, currently mayor of Anchorage, Alaska. Ethan’s dad, Nate, lately attended the West Coast monthly get-together in Sausalito, California, along with Roger Hackley, Rick Roesch, Hap Dun-ning and partner Carolyn Geiger, Mary Farquhar, Elaine Horschman, Karl Mayer, Peter Farquhar, Lee Horschman, and Dick Foley.

Robert Hager (formerly of WDCR and 35 years as a correspondent for NBC) laments the widespread and often incorrect use of the term “fake news.” “Fake news should properly be used only to describe news that is factually wrong—a relatively rare occurrence in mainstream media but more of a problem with offbeat news websites and blogs. The larger issue is that many use the term incorrectly to describe any report with which the user simply disagrees, even if it is accurate reporting or a fair-game opinion piece.”

Let’s hear from you before Homecoming and while we’re still standing.

Cheers to all.—Sid Goldman, 97 Bay Drive, Key West, FL 33040-6114; (305) 745-3645; [email protected]

61 What an outstanding fiscal year ended June 30 for the class of 1961! Our an-nual class activity report score, which

includes selected statistical areas, was an excel-lent 95 out of a possible 100 for all non-reunion classes, which ranked us in first place. With respect to this year’s Dartmouth College Fund (DCF), we easily exceeded both our dollar goal and our lofty participation goal. We ranked first among all classes, both reunion and non-reunion, in DCF participation at 77.3 percent. We ranked third in dues participation at 59.5 percent. We ranked fourth in cumulative gift planning at 12.6 percent. Regarding class communications, we were tied for first place with several other classes, with areas covered including the DAM class col-umns, websites, and newsletters. We had five mini-reunions, including two outstanding and well-attended mini-reunions, one in Hanover

during October 2017 and one in Newport, Rhode Island, during May. We had 13 class officer and executive committee meetings (which placed us in second place) and two class meetings open to all classmates. We initiated a new multifaceted endowed class project titled The Class of 1961 Robert Frost Endowment for the Arts and In-ternational Relations, divided into two parts, the Class of 1961 Arts Initiative Award and the Class of 1961 Stephen W. Bosworth Award for In-ternational Relations (named in honor of a re-cently deceased classmate who was, among other positions, a former U.S. ambassador to several countries). One classmate was awarded the pres-tigious Dartmouth Alumni Award, although the actual presentation will not be until the Alumni Council meeting in November. We established the first special classmate award for outstand-ing contribution to the class, the College, and the community, and granted the award to three classmates during the year. The class of 1961 should be extremely proud of its achievements, its class officers, and its fellow classmates for a job well done.

The next off-campus mini-reunion is scheduled for May 15-18, 2019, in London, and will celebrate the 80th birthday for most of our classmates. This class event, our first outside the country, will be run by Frank and Dawn Stephens who reside in London. Enrollment applications are available on the class website.—Victor S. Rich, 94 Dove Hill Drive, Manhasset, NY 11030; (516) 446-3977; [email protected]

62 O’er the girdled earth we roamed: Gordy McKean and Pat visited Hawaii recently, island-hopping by cruise

ship followed by a week at Aulani-Disney. Pe-ter Knight and Zaida traveled to Finland for a conference about Peter’s consuming interest in universal basic income, followed by visits to Stockholm, Berlin, and Görlich, Germany, for a meeting with former World Bank colleagues. Earlier the Knights met up with Peter Brink and Susan in South Africa. Ed Hirsch’s post to the listserv about his recent tour of Japan sparked recollections of visits to Japan by Russ Hardy, Carl Herbold, Steve Reid, and Jim Blair.

John Thees and Elyse made their annual es-cape-the-Texas-heat pilgrimage to the Colorado Mountains, where they will get together with Al Huck and Pat. Elizabeth and I, living in Galveston, Texas, made a less-successful attempt to escape the heat by taking a 4,800-mile, five-week road trip throughout the baking-hot Southeast in July and August. While in Savannah, Georgia, we met up with Steve Geller, who teaches Shakespeare and satire in addition to writing novels and blog-ging. Earlier in London we enjoyed lunch at the legendary Queens Club as the guests of Pat Giles and Bonnie. We missed Mike Howard and Ngila, who had just departed London for their place in France, where they entertained Alan Rapoport and Arja.

Ted Beal and Kathy played golf in Scotland. Ted, a psychiatrist, is now 75-percent retired. During the past eight years Ted conducted about 5,000 patient visits at Walter Reed Army Medi-cal Center with vets returning from combat in

the Middle East. He has compiled his insights into a book, Stories Outside Our Moral Universe: America’s Unshared Grief with the Honorable 1%. Galleys are available on request ([email protected]). Comments are welcomed.

Class authors: David Laing just published a 325-page autobiography titled The Dartmouth Man: A Charmed Life. Jerry Cohen, who for 50 years has taught foreign languages at the Univer-sity of Missouri at Rolla, is the author of several books on etymology. Both authors are available on Amazon.

63 This month’s column focuses on two guys who did it their way.

Tom Washing gave up a stable career with an East Coast tax, corporate, and securities law firm in 1985 to move to Boulder, Colorado, where, with little capital of his own, he founded Sequel Venture Partners. One client, the early startup company Pan Theryx, inspired a new book by Tom titled An Unlikely Intervention (Leather Apron Media, July) about Pan Theryx’s battle to eradicate acute infectious diarrhea, the second leading cause of death globally among children aged 5 and under. An Unlikely Interven-tion is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other sites. With dramatic flair, Tom chronicles the creation of DiaResQ, an inexpensive food-based product, and how Pan Theryx founders Tim and Bimia Starzi got the medicine accepted in In-dia and Guatemala, where the disease has struck hard. Tom served as founding chairman of the University of Colorado Center for Entrepreneur-ship, chairman of the Colorado Venture Capital Association, and chairman of the University of Michigan technology transfer advisory board. He is a coauthor of Passion for Skiing (2010) and was an assistant film producer of Passion for Snow (2013), the Emmy Award-nominated documentary based on his 2010 book about ski-ing. Net proceeds from An Unlikely Intervention will be put toward free diarrhea prevention and treatment and access to medical supplies for underserved rural and low-income populations.

Charlie Pugh had a good thing going as of-ficer and director of Wheat, First Securities, a regional investment firm in Richmond, Virgin-ia, and six years as chair of the Richmond City board of education, among many other public service projects, when in 1982 the Tuck School grad and wife Pat decided to pack it all in. The Pughs sold their house and 31-foot sailboat and headed to Mount Desert Island in Maine, where they built a home largely with their own hands. A self-described “corporate dropout,” Charlie took an 80-percent income cut while finding multiple part-time jobs that included serving as a crewmate on sailboats up and down the East Coast and Mississippi River. “I had experienced an epiphany of sorts,” Charlie wrote in our 50th reunion book. “I wanted to know my wife and our two daughters (Sherri and Davonne) better,

Independent Living At Its Finest

Rogers Elliott was a member of Dartmouth’s Psychology Faculty for over 52 years. He and his wife Soong moved to The Woodlands from Norwich, Vt., in 2010. Here’s why: “I joined the Dartmouth faculty in 1961. My goal — to be a scholar and teacher — was Dartmouth’s as well. I remained for 39 years as a professor and another 13 as an adjunct. The Dartmouth community became an important part of our lives. When I retired, Soong and I wanted to stay in the area for many reasons: friends, the College, and the unique blend of social and cultural advantages the Upper Valley o�ers. We enjoyed all this during 48 years in Norwich, but as we and our house became creakier, we had to arrange for easier living. The Woodlands coincided with our needs and we were among the �rst residents. It has many amenities: comfortable apartments in varying sizes, the pool and �tness room, indoor parking. There’s one more that’s not counted as such but is critical: small size. There are about 85 residents and we know them all. We never imagined we would �nd such a friendly, collaborative community. We miss our old house but we don’t miss our old friends because they’re close by. And, we’re delighted with new friends we’ve found in abundance—including several retired Dartmouth alumni, faculty and sta�. In short, it’s a neighborhood. Every evening in our dining room certainly one of the better restaurants in the area, sociability and good conversation are on display. It’s easy to think of The Woodlands as a cruise ship permanently docked.”

and I wanted the girls to know me before strik-ing out on their own.” Now married 54 years, the Pughs have six grandchildren, and one of their daughters has returned to build a home next to their parents on part of the original land. These days you can hear Charlie on Maine’s WERU FM Community Radio, streaming on WERU.org, where he is a rotating host of Sunday Morning Coffeehouse, 7 to 10 a.m. playing folk, bluegrass, and Celtic music, and cohost of Front Porch Folk, Tuesdays 9 to 10 a.m., taking requests for old and new songs, especially ones with historically, so-cially, or politically significant lyrics.

64 The 2018 Dartmouth College Fund drive ended June 30. Thank you to our 248 classmates who donated

$481,232 to support Dartmouth primarily with what will be financial aid for students. If you missed contributing, the next Dartmouth College Fund drive has started and will end June 2019, the same year as our 55th reunion—June 10-13, 2019, in Hanover. Thanks also to the 38 class-mates who served as volunteers for the Alumni Fund to help raise money from our classmates. The 38 for 2017-18 were Lynn Bates, Peter H. Ben-zoin, Steven D. Blecher, Bob Bucher II, Lee A. Chilcote, Fritz Corrigan, Sabin Danziger, Carl S. DuRei, Bob Engelman Jr., Brad Evans, Woody Flowers, Al Gru-ber, Bill Gunn, Paul E. Hale, Fran Hanlon, Stan Herr, Buck Kirch IV, Reed Langenbach Jr., Roy J. Lewicki, Bill Madden Jr., Sandy McGinnes, Bill McGregor Jr., Roger G. Nastou, Ray Neff, Chris Palmer, Ray Peters, Jay Regan, Robert W. Reidy II, Stan Roman Jr., Fred Rothenberg, Randy Stayin, Steve Stein, Jeff Swain, Harvey M. Tettlebaum, Hunt Whitacre, Ed Williams, Karl F. Winkler, and Alan S. Woodberry, our class head agent, who gets much of the credit for his leadership of the aforementioned team. As the College has a financial aid policy that is truly need blind for all American applicants, it is im-portant for us to support that effort to allow it to admit students from financially challenged environments.

Because Bob Bartles is so shy and retiring that he would never mention it himself (well…), allow me to point out that his poem “The Almanac,” has been selected from among hundreds of other possible “Anecdotes & Pleasantries” for publica-tion in the 2019 Old Farmer’s Almanac, which is available this fall. These days we seldom publish poetry at all, so this is a great accomplishment by and honor for Bob, whose work will now reach more than 3 million readers. I will be trying in future articles to feature other talents among our class members.

Throop Brown provided some interesting information that I would like to share with you. While we all have stories about how we got into Dartmouth, Throop has one of the more inter-esting ones. He says that when answering the question whether any relative had attended Dart-mouth, he truthfully answered: “Yes, my seventh-generation grandfather went to Hanover with Reverend Wheelock and graduated in 1774! He planned to be a missionary to the Indians, but the

best-laid plans get screwed up. In 1775 he found himself the chaplain of Knox’s artillery when they dragged the guns from Ticonderoga overland for the siege of Boston!” Throop’s daughter Sandy, a member of the city council of Santa Cruz, Califor-nia, has a Ph.D. from Berkeley. Throop is retired, lives in Snow Camp, North Carolina, in a double-wide trailer with cows and deer as his nearest neighbors, and is happily married to his third wife, who is a glass artist and former librarian. —Harvey Tettlebaum, 56295 Little Moniteau Road, California, MO 65018; (573) 761-1107; [email protected]

65 Ahhh, summer. Vacations, family fun, vicarious pleasures as grandkids do all the things good, bad, and hilari-

ous we were prone to do back when. So, brace yourselves, lads. Mini’s coming up October 11-14, about the time this mag hits your mailbox. It’s a chance to climb (a bit of ) Moosilauke, raise a glass at Debbie and Jim Griffiths’ Friday recep-tion, watch the Green compete against Sacred Heart, navigate the steam tunnel, and hang with classmates.

The July quarterly executive teleconference was held at Bill Webster’s home. Mike Gonnerman, Hank Amon, Carl Boe, Jim Griffiths, Mike Orr, and Webster attended in person; Dave Beattie, Don Bradley, Rick Davies, Dick Durrance, Steve Fowler, Dick Harris, Gary Herbst, Stu Keiller, John Rogers, Joel Sternman, and Bruce Wagner attended by phone. Gonnerman’s slides (at www.biggreen65.com) tell the story of an active past year and promise many events to come.

Roger Hansen attended the Alumni Council’s May meeting as our class representative. He re-ported that the meeting focused on the Call to Lead campaign’s three objectives: advance our distinctive educational model to become the unparalleled leader in liberal arts education, make big bets on discovery to improve the hu-man condition, and prepare students for lives of leadership. All of us can join the conversation at #DartmouthLeads.

Ward Hindman writes, “After a career in aerospace (Air Force and corporate) I retired summer before last. In April Norma and I took a trip through European riverways hosted by the Dartmouth alumni travel office. We flew to Am-sterdam, where we took guided walking and boat-ing trips around the city. I took lots of pictures of canals and buildings built 500 years or more ago. The featured lecturer was John Stomberg, director of the Hood Museum. He was a fun guy and gave some really informative talks. We had dinner several times with Fred Glickman ’68 and his wife, Margery. We also got to know Mitch Zeller ’79 and his wife, Paula. He and I had a great connection through the Glee Club directed by Paul Zeller (no relation). By the end of the tour we had history coming out of our ears and a camera full of pictures.” The food was five-star, he adds, and “I managed to gain less than 10 pounds by leaving a lot on my plate, which was hard to do.”

Keiller has added the class of 1965’s memo-rial books program list to the “In Memoriam” section of www.biggreen65.com. The program donates books to Baker Library in the name of

deceased classmates, choosing Native American subjects when possible.

I received the annual class list the other day: 738 names; 437 emails. Today, as Gonnerman and Keiller lead the class in using technology, that email address is important. Find details on accessing and editing your alumni profile, as well as looking up classmates, at www.alumni.dartmouth.edu/connect/find-alumni.

Finally, we received notice of the passing of Brian Walsh, who returned to Hanover in the mid-70s and became an important leader in Ha-nover, and of Tod Seel in September in Savannah, Georgia.

66 In September 1962 Hector Motroni moved into brand new Bissell Hall. That’s where he first encountered Dan

Gulden. Safe to say they hit it off. Hector and Dan roomed in the same Bissell suite for the next four years, along with classmates Gary Rubloff, Greg Sharp, Paul Stockstad, and David Stout.

In April, a snappy 21,690 days after Hector and Dan first met, Hector and his wife, Myra, attended the wedding of Dan and Candice Gul-den’s daughter, Gina, in Exuma, Bahamas. “The wedding on Jolly Hall beach was breathtaking,” Hector said. “It is hard to imagine that Dan and I were freshmen 56 years ago!” It is, indeed!

Scott Cheyne retired about a decade ago after 31 years helping build the Boston-based advertis-ing firm of Hill Holiday into a national power-house. He reports that he’s still close to a number of allegedly retired classmates—Dick Sheaff, the renowned art director and graphic designer who worked on more than 500 published U.S. postage stamps and who still maintains the fascinating website www.sheaff-ephemera.com (check it out!) from his Bethel, Vermont, home; Dr. Win Steubner, who spent 30 years as a primary care doctor in Williamstown, Massachusetts, and has now immersed himself in volunteer leadership roles with a half dozen Berkshire County organi-zations, from the Visiting Nurses Association to the Williamstown Rural Lands Foundation; and former Vietnam Marine fighter pilot Kevin Trainor, who stepped away from a 40-plus-year career as a lawyer in Twin Falls, Idaho, earlier this year and remains a licensed river guide, contract charter pilot, and devoted Harley rider.

A possible Netflix pilot? Utah high school student Steve Coles decides he wants to be a ma-rine biologist, but is not sure what that means. It just so happens that Dartmouth offers its first course in marine biology in our junior year. Steve is one of six in the course. He goes on to earn a Ph.D. in zoology at the University of Hawaii, where he meets Renuka from Fiji via New Zea-land. They marry, settle in Hawaii forever, and raise two kids—Devi, who lives in Geneva, and Sean, now in L.A.—each of whom now has two adorable children.

“I’ve had the great opportunity to work in or observe coral reef environments throughout the world and, to my surprise,” Steve says, “am

still involved in research after being retired nine years.” His latest research, on whether corals could have adapted to higher water temperatures during the last 50 years, is just out.

Other episodes can cover Steve and Renu-ka’s travel adventures and Indy, Steve’s amazing golden retriever pet therapy dog, which cheers 80 to 100 people each month.

On the last weekend in July Pete Barber, Bill Duval, Tim Barnard, and Warren Cook ’67 were in Princeton, New Jersey, to remember the life and legacy of Bill Smoyer ’67. Bill’s sister, Nancy Smoyer, traveled from Alaska to join Bill’s friends and teammates at the informal graveside ceremo-ny 50 years after Bill’s tragic death in Vietnam. A lasting void. Vivid, warm memories.

Our deepest sympathies to the friends and families of two classmates who passed away earlier this year: Jim Tent, a dedicated college professor and historian, and Dick Wells, an early computer pioneer.—Larry Geiger, 93 Greenridge Ave., White Plains, NY 10605; (914) 860-4945; [email protected]

67 We asked classmates to imagine mak-ing an autobiographical film and for the soundtrack to tell us what music

described their period at Dartmouth and what describes life today. Rob Kugler and Harry Jaffe each said “We Gotta Get Out of this Place” by the Animals defined their college life, while today for Rob it’s “whatever choral piece I am currently studying for the next performance” of the New Jersey Master Chorale, and for Harry it’s Jackson Browne’s “Doctor, My Eyes.” Tom Maremaa said at Dartmouth it was Bob Dylan’s “ ‘Masters of War,’ and now, incredibly, I’m listening to it again: Eddie Vedder’s 1993 version, singing with that deep, raspy voice of his and with all that heartfelt passion.” Tom has a new book coming out about the 1986 summit in Reykjavik with Reagan and Gorbachev and its geopolitical aftermath. George Wood says that John Prine and Iris Dement sing-ing “In Spite of Ourselves” defines his 17 years with his wife, Carol. The phrase “We’ll end up sitting on a rainbow” will be on their gravestone. Ethan Braunstein feels Sam Cooke’s “Chain Gang” expresses his life at Dartmouth, while now it’s “Solsbury Hill” by Peter Gabriel. Ethan’s living in the mountains of northern Arizona, teaching part time at Northern Arizona University. John Manaras recalls Dartmouth life as “A Hard Day’s Night,” but today it’s defined by Ahmad Jamal’s “Poinciana.” Nate Smith is still in the basement by the jukebox singing along with the Temptations and his brothers to “My Girl.” Whenever Peter Golenbock hears “Men of Dartmouth” he “gets verclempt recalling four wonderful years writing for The Dartmouth every day. If it hadn’t been for Vietnam, I would never have left Hanover.” Today he’d pick “Happy Together” by the Turtles, which defines his life with his wife, Wendy Grassi: “I am one lucky guy.” Charlie Hoeveler says, “prob-ably any one of 100 songs by my favorite artist, the late and great John Denver, but ‘The Wings that Fly Us Home,’ a great song about spirit and life would be on the soundtrack of my life.” For Bill White, “Dartmouth was ‘Glory Days,’ Spring-steen’s anthem to youth and friendship. Today it’s

all about being ‘Forever Young.’ ” Sam Stonefield believes the Four Tops “Can’t Help Myself ” is the meta-metaphor for his lack of self-awareness and inner direction in college. “I kind of went with whatever was flowing around me at the time. Nowadays it’s ‘How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)’—the James Taylor version, mellow and happy.” Howard Sharfstein says his song would be “Still the Same” by Bob Seger: “In 1992, after six months of high-dose chemo in the hospital, I had no hair, lost 70 pounds, and looked like crap. But when I got home and took my then 10-year-old daughter in my arms, we danced to that song and the lyrics confirmed to us that I was still the same, still her dad, and still with her. To this day I am still the same.”—Larry Langford, P.O. Box 71, Buckland, MA 01338; [email protected]

68 The Sixties at Dartmouth rocked. We studied rocks, climbed rocks, listened to rock, sang about rocks in our mus-

cles and our brains, and graduated in 1968: an unforgettably rocky year. Half a century later, 225 classmates and 397 total attendees made the trip to the Hanover Plain to reconnect with friends and remember those years and our College.

One outstanding moment at the reunion: Peter Fahey, our retiring class president, was awarded the honorary degree of doctor of humane letters from the College. Aside from his career at Goldman Sachs, his time as a Dartmouth trustee and our class president, he is also the father of four Dartmouth graduates.

For John Hamer, the 50th reunion was his first. But he’s glad he went. Great conversa-tions and powerful connections. John visited his old fraternity, which is now a sorority. “We were greeted warmly by the sisters, a rich mix of Asian-American, African-American, and Hispan-ic-American young women,” he said. John noted a rainbow flag was flying from his old room, “but they were still playing beer pong in the basement.

Greg Herschell enjoyed seeing old friends Chuck Lenth, Marshall Wolfe, and Andy Hotaling. All our wives got along well, Greg said. All the wives are smart, intelligent, self-assured women. We didn’t marry shrinking violets, he observed.

Dan Butterworth brought his puppet magic to the reunion. Last February he went to an Inuit vil-lage in northern Canada, where he has developed a close relationship. He’s heading there again in a few months to bring puppet blanks for the kids. On one trip he was welcomed with a feast that started with a fish eyeball.

Mark Waterhouse organized a great discus-sion of Vietnam, which shaped our lives in so many ways. I was particularly moved by a video interview with John “Bear” Everett Jr. The session was recorded. I’ll provide more info about that in my next column. A forthcoming newsletter will cover that discussion in depth.

Jim Lawrie has done an amazing revision of our class website at www.dartmouth68.org. Lots of pictures from the reunion. You can download an updated class directory. Check out John Melski’s stories about Dartmouth and his marriage. In the early 1980s John and his wife, Linda, volunteered to teach about sexuality to 12- to 14-year-olds at

As I am writing this, the Dartmouth football team is doing its first day of practice with full pads, and the team held a dance-off, which was videotaped and posted on The Bleacher Report.

70 The summer has been unusually wet and humid in Connecticut. I look for-ward to the cooler fall weather that

will accompany the arrival of these Class Notes. The 50th reunion committees led by Hicks “Tex” Morgan have been working hard to make this re-union our best. We need your participation to ensure that we meet your expectations and cover topics in the seminars that will evoke a strong connection with our class and the College. The panel discussions at past reunions have been thought-provoking.

In response to the August e-newsletter, Duncan Wood stated that several reunions have focused on the May 1970 strike and the Viet-nam conflict from the anti-war perspective. He suggests two possible topics. The first is “April 22, 1970: The First Earth Day.” What do you re-member? Did it make a difference in your life? The second is “Drafted, ROTC, or Volunteer,” with thoughts on military service from those who served after four years of anti-war rhetoric in Hanover.

Additional or alternative topics should be directed to our president, Jeff Demerath, who is charged with organizing the seminars.

Sadly, our classmate, Bill Holcomb, passed away on April 17 in Los Angeles. After Dartmouth Bill studied at Julliard in New York City. He was a professional performing artist with various dance and theater companies, most notably the Acme Dancing Company. Bill later decided he could provide greater service as a lawyer practic-ing business and tax law. Bill is survived by his wife, Deborah, two daughters, and his brother and sister.

Save the dates for our 50th reunion—June 11-16, 2020.—Gary Miller, 7 East Hill Road, Canton, CT 06018; [email protected]

71 This abbreviated class notes was submitted just after the Nantucket, Massachusetts, mini-reunion in late

August and prior to the ’71 Danube cruise in mid-September. Reports on these events are covered in my expanded class note that is published on our class website at www.1971.dartmouth.org. Pictorial coverage is also provided in Bernie Wysocki’s next class newsletter.

I am deeply saddened to report the deaths of our classmates Charles Collier and Phil West-

berg. Their obituaries are published online at dartmouthalumnimagazine.com as well as in the “In Memoriam” section of our class website. “The hill winds know their name.”—Bob Lider, 9225 Veneto Place, Naples, FL 34113; [email protected]

72 Fifty years ago we were freshmen who had just arrived on the Hanover Plain. We were in the midst of our

first college classes, finding our way to the Hop to pick up our mail at Hinman post office, awed by the Homecoming Weekend bonfire built to a height of 72 tiers, and wondering if our football team led by head coach Bob Blackman could pull off another Ivy championship.

Another freshman class, the class of 2022, is now experiencing many of the same things we did, and our class has reached out in an ex-traordinary way to make a connection with them. Our hope is that our interaction with them will continue in special ways over the next four years culminating in their graduation and in our fiftieth reunion.

The first part of what is called the Class Con-nections program began when the ’22s went out on their freshman trips in late August. More than a dozen ’72s went up to the Dartmouth College Grant to greet them, cook dinner for them, and listen to their stories about trekking in the wil-derness. From August 22 to September 2, the ’22s were entertained by a group of ’72s led by Geoff Clear and Marc Josephson. The group included Kerry Robertson, Fred Bickford, Mike Meehan, Peter Benziger and spouse Margie, David Mitchell, Bill Enos, Farrell Delman and spouse Mireille, John De Regt, Kirk Andrus, Gary Gulezian and spouse Greta, and me. I think it’s safe to say that all of us were impressed by the quality of the young people we encountered there, and we left with a renewed hope for the next generation of lead-ers being educated at Dartmouth. Thanks to all who participated in this special experience! Stay tuned for ways in which you can participate in our continuing efforts to forge a bond with, learn from, and, yes, assist the members of the great class of ’22 as they head out into the world. And as you reflect on our own experiences of 50 years ago, send me some memories so I can include them in the next column!

Sadly, I must report that we recently lost two members of our class. Michael Mellin left us suddenly in January while vacationing in Maui, Hawaii. His daughter, Julie, reports that after graduation Michael got an advanced degree in electrical engineering and later a Ph.D. in com-parative literature. He worked in the publishing field for many years and lived in Silicon Valley for more than 20 years. Our condolences go out to Julie, Michael’s partner, Robert Nelson, and the entire Mellin family.

Our classmate Bill Tomkins passed away at the end of May. Bill is survived by his wife, Sally, and his children, Kate and Peter. He resided in Brooksville, Maine. Our condolences go out to them and to the entire Tomkins family.

Stay well, and please let me hear from you!—David Hetzel, 5 Chestnut St., Windham, NH 03087; [email protected]

73 The curtain falls on 2018. David Barkey, Findlay High

School alum, returned to Ohio to teach high school history at his alma mater. Im-mediately post-college, utilizing his German fluency, he traveled through much of Europe. His youthful escapades, including a stint as a gar-bage man, enable him to engage and enthrall his students; a few years ago they dubbed him “The Most Interesting Man at Findlay High School.” Students describe David as a man of wisdom and inspiration, with a deep and rich connection to history and on-point puns.

Gym Source, headquartered in New York City, is America’s largest distributor of fitness equipment. An undisputed leader in fitness ex-pertise, it has built more gyms for more people and entities (including Dartmouth) than any other company in the world. None other than Bill Kemnitzer is vice president of sales.

Mark D’Andrea has been employed in the bio-tech-pharmaceutical industries for more than 30 years and for almost a decade as an independent consultant providing expert chemistry manufac-turing and controls guidance and project manage-ment for the development of biotherapeutic and small molecule drug products. He also has been an instructor in the extension program at the University of California, San Diego. In his spare time Mark enjoys softball at an athletic club in Carlsbad, California.

Hard at work at Howard University is biology professor George Middendorf, a member of numer-ous scientific societies. His research focuses on reptilian and amphibian biology with emphases on behavior, ecology, evolution, and host-parasite interactions. His research has taken him from Bolivia to Arizona and Suriname. George has also been involved in examining environmental justice issues in urban areas, implementing the environmental justice section of the Ecological Society of America, and developing interdisci-plinary and environmental studies programs at Howard.

Are classmates aware that Allin Tallmadge is a celebrated cheesemonger? He left computer con-sulting in 2006 and joined the American Cheese Society in 2007; now he possesses its certified cheese professional (CCP) designation. CCPs are an elite group of fewer than 1,000 individuals who have passed an exam demonstrating a high standard of comprehensive cheese knowledge and skills. A designated cheese educator, Allin has been in the Atlanta area since 2011 and holds cheese tastings and seminars. He likes to snack on alpine cheeses and doesn’t care if the cheese is French, Italian, Swiss, German, or Austrian. He likes to cook with cheddars and hard northern Italian cheeses; for family gatherings, he likes soft and stinky cheeses. “Cheeses in Europe are regional enterprises that drive the economies of those areas. In the United States trade organiza-tions are formed to advance a region’s economic interest. Cheddar is a type of cheese, but Vermont cheddar is different from Wisconsin cheddar, which is different from California cheddar.”

Belatedly, word was received that recently adopted classmate and Mount Holyoke graduate Carol Spodobalski died unexpectedly of complica-


their Unitarian society in Newton, Massachu-setts. One day John went to a windowless factory to get teaching props. Seeing rubber genitalia suspended from the ceiling in various states of manufacture was a “lesson in surrealism,” he said.

All classmates are invited to meet up for a mini-reunion during Homecoming Weekend. You’re welcome at our executive committee meeting at 10 a.m., Saturday, October 27, at 107 Dartmouth Hall. After that we’ll be tailgating at Alpha Delta before the game with Harvard and dinner that evening at Dowds’ Country Inn in Lyme, New Hampshire.

69 Let’s begin this column with another look at our 50th reunion, which will be a short eight months from when

you are reading this. We are currently showing nearly 300 respondents to our questionnaire and the same number of classmates who have expressed interest in attending. Please do your part to help in this reunion effort by completing your questionnaire and going to the class website www.dartmouth69.org to announce your inten-tion to attend.

The travels Jo and I have taken this year have occasionally had a bit of Big Green activ-ity. In April, while in the Pacific Northwest, we enjoyed a lunch with Allen Denison and Martha at their home on the Oregon coast. We walked the beach, took some pictures, and promptly lost them, so Allen is unable to post anything in the newsletter. In August we went to Scotland for two weeks with a group, including Alpha Theta fraternity brother Ralph Alan Cohen ’67, to at-tend the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, a month-long gathering of 4,000 performers and hundreds of venues where we saw plays, musicals, stand-up comics, solo musicians, street performers, and more. The city is magical. Many of the 15 or so productions we saw were very good, some not so much, and the country in general is well worth the effort to travel there. We spent several days touring the Highlands and western Scotland, stopping at castles and distilleries among many other local attractions along the way. The scenery is breathtaking, and the roads are as well; glad we had a driver for the wrong-side-of-the-road driving.

The Citi Field mini-reunion, so generously hosted by Sandy Alderson, was held once again in July and attracted more than two dozen class-mates plus spouses and guests. A full report on the story was in the last ’69 Times Newsletter sent to you in August by Allen Denison.

Next up for minis are Homecoming during the weekend of October 27 and the Charleston, South Carolina, event hosted by Dud Kay and Steve and Judi Cline set for November 11-13. Home-coming will be the same routine as always, with the possible exception of the bonfire, which will be either reduced or missing due to the town of Hanover overreacting to safety concerns. There may be some town leaders burned in effigy in-stead of the usual tower of railroad ties. For the

74 Thanks and kudos go out to all class-mates who contributed to the 2017-18 Dartmouth College Fund. Our class

registered 12-percent growth in contributions and a 58-percent participation rate. Our per-formance earned us three major giving awards, including the Fred A. Howland 1887 Award that recognizes the greatest increase in the number of donors in a non-reunion year class. We had 68 more donors than the previous year. Peter DeNatale, our head agent, led the charge with his inspired leadership.

After eight years of successful ownership and operation of Via Vanti!, the top Zagat-rated eating establishment in Mount Kisco, New York, Scott Mason and his wife, Carla, moved on in 2016 from the all-consuming restaurant business. Their first official post-restaurant act was to fly to England and complete the 192-mile, coast-to-coast walk from the Irish Sea to the North Sea in two and a half weeks. Of all their hiking and cycling out-ings around the world through the years, this was their favorite trip. Upon their return home to Chappaqua, New York, Scott and Carla became first-time authors, each writing about a subject of personal passion. Carla’s book, titled La Dolce Vita University: An Unconventional Guide to Ital-ian Culture from A to Z, is a wonderfully informa-tive read, recommended for anyone planning to travel to Italy or just wanting to get in the mood. Carla is currently promoting the book through speaking engagements (ladolcevitau.com), most recently in Colorado. Scott’s book is titled The Wonder Code: Discover the Way of Haiku and See the World with New Eyes (thewondercode.com). Scott has been interested and active in English-language haiku poetry for more than 15 years, receiving more than 150 awards in international blind-judged haiku competitions, including the top prize in more than 20 of them. He has served as artist-in-residence at the Studios of Key West, Florida, traveled to Japan, and edits the online haiku journal The Heron’s Nest. Scott believes that through his haiku practice he relates to the world with greater attentiveness and apprecia-tion. The Wonder Code has been extremely well received within the haiku community and has won the top book awards from both the Haiku Foundation and the Haiku Society of America.

Please remember to mark your calendars for our upcoming 45th reunion from Thursday, June 13, through Sunday, June 16, 2019.

75 Summer is a fading memory, and the snow will begin to fly soon, unless, of course, you live on the Gulf Coast

like Eliza and I do. Snow, however, remains a

reality for Cliff Ross, with whom I recently had a nice catch-up chat. We were both on a similar track at Dartmouth, dating women who would become our wives. Yep, Cliff and Robin are still married and living in Utah. I think he said he was in the Park City area and working part-time with the Salt Lake City district attorney’s office. I reminded him that he should come down out of those snow-covered mountains and join us for reunion next summer in the verdant Connecticut River Valley.

From the Hanover Plain comes another book written by Caroline Preston. Caroline was men-tioned in these notes in 2011 when she produced The Scrapbook of Frankie Pratt. I am pleased to report that she continues to produce interesting works, and I am in receipt of a copy of her latest—The War Bride’s Scrapbook. (Read a review in the September/October issue of DAM.) It is a unique “novel in pictures,” and I must say it rekindled fond memories of my mother’s own scrapbook from that era. The timeline begins in 1921, two years before my mother’s birth, and, as the title would suggest, takes us through the war years and beyond. Some of the pictures and layout are eerily similar to those in books that my mother kept. Caroline, thanks for the memories; well done!

Our class’ Facebook activity has been a little slow this summer, but there have been some en-tertaining vintage photos of classmates posted by Joe Durham and Andy McDowell. There was a particularly noteworthy photo of Dan Kenslea sporting his signature facial hair while carrying an adult beverage at a football game. Is that al-lowed? If you are not a member of our Facebook page, this photo alone ought to draw you in!

Winter is around the corner, but so is our reunion. Make ready, and get thee to Hanover in June.

76 Do you realize what a fascinating cast of characters (emphasis on charac-ters) makes up our class from pup-

peteer Betsy Tobin (nowornevertheatre.com) to painter-farmer-hay house dweller David Brown (davidbrownpaintings.com) to entrepreneur-hometown revitalizer Rich Horan?

In an attempt to touch on the activities of as many of our amazing 918 classmates as possible, I’ve enlisted our tech guru Joe Jasinski to track names mentioned in these columns, so I cover as many as possible during my tenure. Thanks to the following bold (in every way) classmates for responding to my nosey emails! Jennifer Kintzing Cadoff has made a seemingly seamless transi-tion from an illustrious journalism career to the art world. Jen’s joyous artwork ( jennifercadoff.com) has already been featured in high-profile shows such as the Art of the Northeast. Having worked in biology, archaeology, and law, Michael Arwe will conclude his favorite career chapter as a high school Latin teacher in 2019. He will then embark on a dream he says “has been with me since that freshman trip in 1972: hiking the Appalachian Trail, Georgia to Maine, with my best friend since seventh grade.”

Adrienne Alexander is also rewarding others through teaching. In her Los Angeles class called “Transformation Tuesdays” she teaches “six fundamental components of human behavior, along with tools for life to aid in the transfor-mation” her clients seek. Remembering Adi’s shining stage presence, we are not surprised she is also teaching acting and, with husband Russ Foreman, a weekly meditation class. Look for her book, The More Love Club, advertised in this issue! I was thrilled to catch another Angeleno, golden-voiced Dartmouth Aire Paul Lazarus, on America’s Got Talent singing with the amazing Angel City Chorale in a moving performance that, as of September, had catapulted the group into the show’s semifinal live performances viewed by more than 15 million worldwide.

Co-class historian and Interfraternity Play Contest winner Tom Souza debuted his play Ghosts of Appomattox, chronicling the entangled relationships during the final days of the Civil War, at Mass Music and Arts Society in Mans-field, Massachusetts. Neurologist David Urion has earned more titles and achievements at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School than I can fit here. I knew he was superhuman when he was dubbed “Zeus” by our adopted class member professor John Rassias freshman year. He is the director of the hospital’s residency training programs in child neurology and neurodevelop-mental disabilities and has an endowed chair de-voted to medical education. He is also cochair of the hospital’s ethics advisory committee. At the national level, he is the immediate past president of Professors of Child Neurology.

Congrats to Sharon Ali, the new CEO of the formidable company Prime Wellness of Penn-sylvania, which was awarded one of the first grow-process licenses for the state’s new medical marijuana industry and committed to processing the highest-quality medical marijuana products. We mourn the passing of world citizen Chris Sega: international banker, lawyer, professor, cyclist, multi-marathoner, and devoted husband (1976.dartmouth.org).—Sara Hoagland Hunter, 72 Mount Vernon St., Unit 4B, Boston, MA 02108; [email protected]

77 Doug Mavor wanted a profession he would love so much he would work for free. He hit the jackpot with a

35-year career designing energy efficient build-ings in the Rocky Mountains. Now retired, he pursues his “own version of Contractors Without Borders.” His volunteer exploits thus far include designing and supervising the construction of a log home for the king of Bhutan, assisting in the construction of the Khumbu Climbing Center near the Everest Base Camp, and helping to build a remote cabin in Alaska. His motto: “Will work for airfare!”

After raising five children and working 24/7 as a curriculum director in an elementary school district, newly retired Ellen Duke Spears is flabber-gasted at her discomfort with relaxation. Writing, painting, sewing, and spending time with her three adorable grandchildren currently occupy her, but she’s “looking for my next adventure!”

Jean Rosston is counting her 30th year in

Zurich, Switzerland: “There is culture, nature, good public transport, a clean lake, and a func-tional city.” Jean works as a conservator at the Kunsthaus Zurich fine arts museum, relying daily on her “Rassias-empowered foreign language skills.” She enjoyed a visit from Ted Lapres and his wife, Connie. To celebrate her 30-year jubilee, Jean took a month’s sabbatical and traveled to French Polynesia to explore the islands by ex-pedition ship above and below the water, where she met, respectively, Christina Thompson ’82, a Polynesian historian and cultural expert, and five different species of “beautiful sharks.” Jean hopes to attend our 65th birthday celebration in Santa Fe and welcomes classmates in Zurich in the meantime.

Jim Guth and husband John traveled to Sicily with a Northwestern alumni travel group. (Yes, Dartmouth trips are way better, they admit.) They loved the food and a charming villa at the base of Mount Etna, but report that “Sicilian wine is awful!” (Jean disagrees!)

Scott Cameron has become the principal deputy assistant secretary for policy, manage-ment, and budget in the U.S. Department of the Interior in the Trump administration. Scott rec-ognizes it’s a “stereotypically bureaucratically long title.” He coordinates agencywide policy on a host of issues, including budget, law enforce-ment, strategic planning, emergency response, and forest fires. Scott is helping to implement “the secretary’s vision to improve citizen service by aligning the boundaries of the regional offices of our eight bureaus.” He figures it will take “three years to institutionalize.”

Mark Berthiaume has organized the eighth annual Michael Brigham Memorial Fund Golf Event in honor of classmate Michael “Brigsy” Brigham, who died in 2011. The outing raises money for kidney cancer research. At this writ-ing Fred Kramer, Doug Ireland, John Hart, Kevin Young, Brian McCloskey, Gary Rogers, Rory Laughna, Tom Barnico, and Pete Volanakis plan to attend. Mark notes, “It’s a time for all of us to remember a very special friend.” Gary recalls that he met Mike on their first day at Dartmouth when their dads dropped them off at Fayerweather Hall. The instigator of Senior Tails, Mike always “helped to bring people together.”—Robin Gosnell, 31 Elm Lane, Princeton, NJ 08540; [email protected]; Eric Edmondson, Signal Hill Capital LLC, 425 California St., Suite 19, San Francisco, CA 94104; [email protected]; Drew Kintzinger, 2400 M St. NW, Apt. 914, Wash-ington, DC 20037; [email protected]

Berkeley, California, and temporary lodgings in Manhattan.”

Ann Hoover Maddox: “Harriet Travilla Reyn-olds and I met up in Hanover for a long weekend, originally focused on a day of painting at our new Class of ’78 Bunkhouse. While that job was postponed, we were able to make headway on preparations for the bunkhouse dedication weekend, meet with the caterer, check out ac-commodations near the lodge, and meet with Tim McNamara (facilities manager for the Col-lege) for invaluable help. We had dinner with pal Nick Scheu, who runs a small garden design and maintenance business in New Hampshire and Vermont. His son, Sam, is in year four of vet med school at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. He plans to practice large-animal medicine back in Vermont and New Hampshire after graduation next May. Son Ben has begun a master’s program in athletic training, sports medicine, and education at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. While he completes his degree(s), he will be working principally with the ski team. Nick reports that, ‘Every day I am appreciative of the glories of working in nature and in my clients’ landscapes. A great life so far!’

“Nick directed us to one of his clients, Blue Loon Bakery in New London, New Hampshire, the latest adventure of classmate Mike Morgan and his wife, Laurie. Harriet and I were lucky enough to arrive just as a tray of butter croissants came out of the oven, as the bakery can hardly keep up with demand! Laurie is the talented baker behind this establishment, and Mike (who was about to head out in the great company van on a flour run) said they try to use local ingredients as much as possible, including coffee from a lo-cal roaster. Check out their Facebook page for mouth-watering photos and videos of pastries, breads, and pretzels (as well as Nick’s landscap-ing and window boxes). Mike and Laurie’s four children are thriving and help out when they can.”

Fritz Rohlfing: “My latest is that I have been appointed to serve as a director of the Atherton Family Foundation. The Atherton Family Foun-dation is now one of the largest endowed, grant-making private resources in the State of Hawaii devoted exclusively to the support of charitable activities. The website address of the foundation is www.athertonfamilyfoundation.org. My day job continues to be litigating business and real property cases in state and federal courts.”

79 Another Dartmouth College Fund (DCF) campaign is in the books, and for the 20th consecutive year the

“Partycipatory” class of ’79 captured the Ray-mond J. Rasenberger 1949 Award for most donors in a non-reunion class (607) while also setting year-out records for dollars and participation (62.9 percent). On behalf of the class leadership team, our thanks go out to everyone who made Dartmouth part of their charitable giving mix, including all those who donated to a Dartmouth friends program. Special thanks also go out to

Kim Frydman and Rut Mendoza, our dedicated partners in the DCF office; our indomitable vol-unteer class agent corps; our anonymous DCF challenge benefactors; and our generous raffle prize contributors Gina Barreca, Carol Gieg, David Jeffrey, Todd Scantlebury, Buddy Teevens, Bob Wha-len, and the boys of The Confluence—Ed Baldrige, adopted classmate Bob Chamberlin, Bill Conway, Dave Klinges, Phil Odence, Norm Richter, and Dave “Guy” Van Wie.

Congratulations to Chip Debelius and Chan-ning Lynn, “two curious and passionate design-ers,” who tied the knot on August 11 in Watauga County, North Carolina. Our wish for Chip and Channing is that the canvas of their new life to-gether be filled with vibrant watercolors.

We were so pleased to hear from Arlington Economic Development director and first-time Class Notes contributor Victor Hoskins, who wrote: “My wife and I just returned from a trip to London and Paris, where we celebrated our anniversary and my [61st] birthday and got to dine at Le Jules Verne restaurant at the Eiffel Tower. Time flies when you are having fun! We feel so blessed and so appreciative of the life we have been given. Be well and laugh often—it heals the soul and makes you younger.” When asked what anniversary he and Diane were celebrating, Victor replied, “We just call it the first.” And to that we say, “Well played!”

Cindy Marder Calder, a mere puppy compared to Victor, responded to our August 4 birthday well-wishes with some ’round-the-girdled-earth news: “I am in Tuscany, Italy, for my 60th. Had lunch with Tim Prager and his two brilliant (adult) children yesterday and am having lunch with Eleanor Shannon tomorrow. Great ’79 friends are everywhere!” Cindy teaches Latin at Trinity School in N.Y.C. and tutors students of all ages for Latin and Greek during the school year, then dons her Calder Classics cape in the summer months to “offer high school students interdisciplinary Latin and Greek language programs abroad.”

With gladness came sadness this summer due to the unexpected passing of Proctor Reid (June 20) and Dave “Emmett” Hall (July 17), whose deaths feel especially poignant considering we’ve now lost 40 classmates just eight months shy of the 40th anniversary of our graduation. We en-courage you to email reminiscences to class his-torian Ben Riley ([email protected]), so that they may be added to the obituaries posted on the “In Memory” page of our class website (www.1979.dartmouth.org).

Please join us at our milestone 40th reunion June 17-21, 2020, to celebrate friends here and gone.—Stanley Weil, 15 Peck Road, Mt. Kisco, NY 10549; (917) 428-0852; [email protected]; John Cur-rier, 82 Carpenter St., Norwich, VT 05055; (802) 649-2577; [email protected]

80 We were only 10 years old in Octo-ber 1968 when we saw Dick Fosbury transform the high jump event with

his gold medal-winning “Fosbury Flop” at the Mexico City Olympics. Was the domination by Soviet-bloc athletes in the javelin throw the in-spiration for Tom Turnbull to take up the sport

and eventually make a throw in college that is still among the best ever by a Dartmouth track and field athlete?

As 20-year-olds, we cheered as the Big Green football team recovered from a string of early non-league defeats with an October 1978 win over Yale in Hanover, the Elis’ only Ivy loss that year. The victory ignited a winning streak that helped Dartmouth gain its first league title in five years (and only title during our student years). Placekicker Chris Sawch earned First Team All-Ivy honors that season.

In October of 1988 the two most popular shows on television featured big stars who are still in the news but for all the wrong reasons: Bill Cosby and Roseanne. That same month The Golden Girls and Anything but Love were also ranked in the Top 10. Thirty-something Bob Ber-linger would soon be directing episodes of both these shows.

Kudos to Bill Goodspeed. He barely edged out Deb Hart Goth and Cathy McGrath as the fastest to correctly identify the outstanding group of women in April’s column as cloaked, hooded, and smoke-intoxicated members of Fire & Skoal. So what’s the common thread that ties together this group of classmates: Frank Batten, Ted Blaisdell, Kevin Boyle, Mike Buchanan, Cas Caswell, Ronald Chen, Susan Clark, Paula Clemens, Guy Doyon, Gary Elovitz, James Gifford, Jon Herron, Corbey Low Hy-man, Brian McConnell, Ed McNierney, Mike Morton, Elizabeth Miller Nestler, Jessie Brumbry Panek, Sam Roberts, Larry Rowe, George Sayen, Marcia Lawrence Somerville, Bob Stannard, and Beverly Foster Seinberg?

The first reader to send an email with the correct answer will win a gift certificate.

I’m sure that many of us have gathered with classmates to celebrate this big birthday year. The ubiquitous (and recently retired) Mark Alperin shuffled up his life of leisure to join me for my 60th. Despite his plea of “no surprises!” to wife Lisa, Rob Ruocco ended up welcoming a parade of unexpected visitors to his home in August. The wave included neighbor Craig Lambdin, kitchen-magician Chuck Wheelock, bicoastal Hans Morris, the ubiquitous Alpo, Iowan Chuck Blades, and a risen-from-the-dead David Marchiony. No ani-mals were harmed in the celebration of Rock’s birthday.

We will close with a tribute to the stages of life, presented in limerick form.

We started as curious creatures,And morphed into ambitious reachers.As we exit the maze,It seems the next phaseWill be lived as insufferable preachers.

81 Vaughn Halyard wrote uproariously about a mini-reunion that took place this summer at a charity golf tourna-

ment in “the mosquito and black fly haven of Minnesota.” The tournament was hosted by Marc

Belton, with Vaughn, Marvin Smith, Bill Jenkins, Jim-my Bynoe, and Paul Yelder in attendance. Vaughn wore his lucky golf hat, courtesy of Geoff Hatheway and Magic Mountain. Apparently the hat has exhibited magic powers and will be donned for all future golf tournaments until it tatters. The full story, which has been published in the August class newsletter along with photographs, is a must-read. The group plans to reconvene with Tim Itin this winter, when Vaughn promises to “continue prototyping experimental, time-com-pressed ski instruction techniques on research subject Bill Jenkins.”

Mary and Doug Bates tied the knot in Jack-son, New Hampshire. The wedding was attended by Mike Peterson, Steve Levitan ’82, and Mia Lueh-rmann ’84. The couple, who met back in the day at Mary Hitchcock Hospital, have moved into their new home on Lake Pawtuckaway in Nottingham, New Hampshire. Pictures of the beautiful cel-ebrations can be viewed in the aforementioned class newsletter.

Jeff Healy was honored to join the board of the Dartmouth Club of Los Angeles, which won the Metro Alumni Club of the Year Award in 2017.

Lynn Noel shared an interesting connection with the late poet laureate Donald Hall. “I was saddened to read of the passing of poet laureate Donald Hall. I am one of many who love his work, but came by my signed copy in an unusual way, 35 years after a freshman year escapade. We were trimming our tree one December and invited a friend and her husband, whom we barely knew, over to help. He noticed the milk crate the lights were stored in, and asked me where I got it. I coughed and confessed that I’d nicked it from behind the grocery store in college. He said, ‘Dart-mouth?’ I said yes, and asked how he knew. ‘It says Hall’s Dairy, and my granddad had a dairy in New Hampshire.’ I was mortified, even more so when he offered to buy the milk crate to give to his dad. I immediately unpacked it and gave it to him. The next time we met, he said, ‘We’d like to thank you for the milk crate, my dad really loved it. He wrote some poems, and he hoped you might like one of his books.’ My jaw hit the floor. So that’s how I met Donald Hall’s son. And returned a stolen milk crate to a poet laureate. I will always see the twinkle in his eye when I open my signed copy of Unpacking the Boxes.” Lynn lives in Waltham, Massachusetts, and has recently re-released an update of her folk heritage CD, A Woman’s Way: First Millennium of Adventurous Women, first recorded while she was a research fellow of the Dickey Institute of Arctic Studies in 1999. —Veronica Wessels, 224 Buena Vista Road, Rock-cliffe, ON K1M0V7, Canada; (613) 864-4491; [email protected]; Emil Miskovsky, 520 Seneca St., Suite 312, Utica, NY 13502; (802) 345-9861; [email protected]

82 Greetings, ’82s! We hope you’ll en-joy getting to know some of the new class executive committee members.

Sarah (Riddle) Lilja joins Joanne McMullen as class co-biographer: “I’m semi-retired after working more than 30 years as a clinical social worker. I still have a small private practice working with children with behavior disorders. Now that I


have more free time to indulge my passions, this year I launched Sarah Lilja Photography, an art photography business. I will be spending four months in New Zealand and Australia in 2019 enjoying partial-retirement with my husband and taking lots of photos. I volunteered to serve on the executive committee because I had such a great experience on our reunion committee that I wanted to get more involved with our class.”

Sue Elliott writes: “My home base is in Marin County, California. I have so enjoyed connect-ing with old friends and making new ones at Dartmouth reunions through the years since our graduation. I am looking forward to joining the mini-reunion team to help organize more opportunities for the class of ’82 to get together, share experiences, and have fun!”

When Jon Baker called to ask Steve Berger to serve as our class Dartmouth College Fund head agent, Steve wasn’t really sure what the role would involve. “But I knew it meant a further chance to engage with the College and our great class of 1982. Since moving to Charleston, South Carolina, a few years ago following a 30-year career in finance in Asia, one of my favorite ac-tivities has been reconnecting with Dartmouth, whether through Friends of Dartmouth Rowing or renewing friendships at our recent reunion and now through this new role on our class ex-ecutive committee.”

Here’s why Martha Solis said “yes” to serv-ing as an at-large member of the class executive committee: “I see it as a great way to reconnect with classmates and the College, while serving our great class of ’82!”

What else is lighting up the passions of our classmates? Woody Kingman, inspired by his se-nior year Trip to the Sea, is pumped about the Canoemobile program, a wildly successful float-ing classroom project of Wilderness Inquiry that gets inner-city kids into canoes and out onto the water, where they learn new leadership skills and appreciation for the natural world. Ted Trabue, executive director of the District of Columbia Sustainable Energy Utility, loves his work: “The environmental and economic benefits are very fulfilling. Our energy-efficiency programs al-low people to divert money from energy bills into more important needs.” And speaking of Ted—TED Talks, that is—classmates are still buzzing about the amazing TED-style talks at our 36th reunion in June. (Thanks, Beth Johnston Stephenson!)

We did a little digging for ’82s who have pre-sented TED Talks around the country. Turns out that Kevin Peterson, while program director at the N.H. Charitable Foundation, took the national stage at TEDxFargo 2017—one of the largest independent TEDx events in the country—to share a great idea: impact investing. Kevin is now director of economic development at the Com-munity Development Finance Authority in New Hampshire. Bobby Charles spent 10 years writing his newly published book, Eagles and Evergreens, that celebrates adventure, small-town values, and our WW II veterans. He calls it an “uplifting, enjoyable, happy read!”

83 “Summer should get a speeding ticket” or so the saying goes. After our 35th reunion jump-started the

season, your class co-secretaries had to con-dense a bevy of memorable moments down to 500 words or less, so we begin this issue with a sequel. Thanks are due to our executive com-mittee members, who worked tirelessly leading up to the reunion and continue in their roles, including Frank Davis, David Ellis, and Wade Welch, who oversee mini-reunions; Roger Baumann, who continues as head agent for Dartmouth fundrais-ing (and, we’re told, has a wealth of news to share in an upcoming letter to the class about the 2018 Dartmouth College Fund—stay tuned); Reed Web-ster, who helms planned giving; and Patty Shepard and Robin Henning Rocchi, who are coordinating the class project.

Production credits for our 35th reunion be-long to Mac Gardner and Andre Hunter, who are our multi-tasking class co-presidents; Reed Webster, Anni Dupre Santry, and Frank Davis, our reunion co-chairs; as well as Maren Christensen and Becky Ankeny, who orchestrated the swag bags, regis-tration, and communications. Behind-the-scenes work included mailings, marketing, all sorts of accounting, and even last-minute beer runs. A shout-out goes to the Hanover Inn for its out-standing catering.

While letting the good times roll, during the weekend we also took time to reflect on the classmates we’ve lost during a lovely and moving memorial service led by Toby Hitt. Mac Gardner, Andre Hunter, and Reed Webster read the names of classmates gone too soon, and Kevin Connolly sang remembrances.

As Anni Dupre Santry writes, “Whoosh! The years have flown by. The irony of reunions is that you think you’re ‘going back’ to relive col-lege experiences and renew old friendships, and then, ha, you walk away on Sunday with new and deeper friendships and experiences with folks we have known since we were 18.”

In other news, Michael Bush, managing mem-ber of BIV Investments, recently joined the ad-visory board of Herofi, a revenue optimization company for physical retail. After 22 years as a commercial, insurance regulatory, and tax at-torney, Kevin Moriarty recently began pursuing a second career as a voiceover artist.

Anne Albright has moved from her private law practice to become a judge on the circuit court for Montgomery County in Maryland. Anne reports that she sees Jessica Rosenberg Brown when Jessica travels to Washington, D.C., in connection with her work for J Street, an advocacy group looking for solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Finally, Michael Behn, a trial attorney and for-mer federal prosecutor specializing in the civil prosecution of fraud, was featured with a client

on the July 28 episode of a new CBS News series, Whistleblower: The Case Against Northrop. The episode (season one, episode three) can still be viewed on CBS.com. Without giving anything away, we can say it’s an emotional rollercoaster. Michael has been representing whistleblowers for decades.

If only he could prosecute the summer for speeding.—Shanta Sullivan, 1541 North Sierra Bonita Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90046; [email protected]; Elliot Stultz, 421 West Melrose St., #8A, Chi-cago, IL 60657; [email protected]

84 The class of 1984 continues to be amazing. It’s very easy to brag this month. Our own Susie Huang has just

been promoted to co-head of investment bank-ing at Morgan Stanley. This makes Susie the first woman ever to run investment banking at a top U.S. firm. Susie joined Morgan Stanley in 1984 and worked her way up through its merger-advisory business, which is ranked second this year by deal volume. She has worked mostly on healthcare and consumer transaction, including the 2009 combination of Wyeth and Pfizer and a string of deals for Procter & Gamble. Before her promotion Susie ran the Americas mergers and acquisitions business. Congrats to Susie!

By the time you read these notes, Eric Dezenhall’s new book, Best of Enemies, will be in bookstores. It’s the true story about CIA officer Jack Platt and KGB agent Gennady Vasilenko, who were assigned with “turning” each other into spies for the other side at the height of the Cold War (during our college years). While they never became traitors to their countries, they did become best friends, saved each other’s lives (Gennady was imprisoned and tortured by Pu-tin’s thugs in Russian prisons during a period of years and saved thanks to the influence of Robert De Niro) and took down the most lethal spy in U.S. history, a story the book will tell for the first time. Sounds like a great read!

The husband-wife team of Amy Iorio and Ralph Barton have put their high-tech days of working at Microsoft and consulting at Yahoo! behind them in exchange for owning and operat-ing bakeries. The dynamic duo is a franchisee of a company called Nothing Bundt Cakes, which has been super successful and in the Top 15 fran-chises for the past four years. And, yes, they make only Bundt cakes, in four sizes and 10 flavors. Nine years ago they opened two bakeries in the Westside of L.A., and they will be opening the first bakery in New England for this concept in Newton, Massachusetts. Ralph reports that he “loves going ‘low tech.’ You can’t outsource cakes from India and China, and the best part is that people are ‘raving fans’ of our cakes, beyond what I could ever imagine. It’s nice to run a business where everyone who walks in the door is looking forward to getting a cake for themselves or for a daughter’s birthday, etc. They’re almost always in a great mood, which in the hustle and bustle of L.A. is rare.” Compliments to the bakers Amy and Ralph!

And kudos to Roseanne McSween for receiv-ing her doctorate in educational administration

and leadership in May from Fordham University. Her dissertation focused on two case studies in the nonprofit sector using stakeholder en-gagement as her theoretical lens. With her new credential in hand, Rose is serving as a professor of finance and fiscal management at Fordham’s Gabelli School of Business and graduate school of social service, in addition to leading the busi-ness school’s fundraising team.

85 Friends, summer is flying by in in-verse proportion to the amount of news being received. Whether that

makes any sense is unclear, but I do know I’ve got very little to share. But there is news from prolific author Matthew Dickerson, who shared news of his recent endeavors. Many baseball fans know Yankee Stadium as “The House that Ruth Built.” Well, this is essentially “The Column that Matthew Dickerson Wrote.” And thanks to him, by the way.

From Matthew: “During the past 12 months I was selected and subsequently served as a month-long artist-in-residence at two nation-al parks: Glacier National Park (Montana) and Acadia National Park (Maine). And a lodge in Alaska then offered me a writing-residence to write about Lake Clark National Park and Kat-mai National Park.

“I have a couple books due out in the next year, both works of creative narrative nonfic-tion writing that are blends of nature writing, environmental writing, and outdoor writing. One is due out this summer, and the other that draws directly from the residencies is due out in early 2019. Look for the first book, A Tale of Three Rivers: Of Wooly Buggers, Bowling Balls, Cigarette Butts, and the Future of Appalachian Brook Trout, on Amazon. And I wrote a four-part series about the experience for the Vermont newspaper Addison County Independent called “A Vermont Outdoorsman at Glacier National Park.” The series earned me the top spot for best sports column of the year in the New England Newspaper and Press Association awards for the category of papers that are not big city dailies.” Matthew began his career as a computer science professor but now also teaches classes on essay writing in the writing program at Middlebury College and has published more than a dozen books on a variety of topics.

From the “Raise Your Hand If You Truly Care” department, the Alpha Chi crew is sched-uled for an Italian bike trip in October—look for news on this cycling sojourn in a future column. I promise that no pictures of this group in cycling shorts will be shared, unless there is a ground-swell for Jack Sylvia action shots.

Finally, as you read this, spend the next few minutes dashing off a quick update note to me or Leslie. We do enjoy hearing what’s new in your life. And, as you can tell, we need news!—John MacManus, 188 Ringwood Road, Rosemont, PA 19010; (610) 331-6417; [email protected]; Leslie A. Davis Dahl, 83 Pecksland Road, Green-

86 Krista Corr writes, “After 28 years as a special agent with the FBI in Boston, I retired at the end of De-

cember. On January 2, I started a job as a senior criminal investigator with Amtrak’s office of inspector general (investigating waste, fraud, and abuse at Amtrak). I still get to perform in-vestigative work, the hours and schedule are great, and I get to collect my pension and a sal-ary, plus my family and I can ride the rails for free! Another big change, which is not so good, is that my husband, Bart, was diagnosed with epilepsy last fall. This was a career-ending di-agnosis for a pilot. He has been flying airplanes since the age of 12, so this was a huge setback for him. He has handled it pretty well and is now starting to think about his next step. I know he will land on his feet. Our girls, Julia and Megan, are in eighth and sixth grade, respectively, and are happily doing all the same things that other middle-schoolers are doing.

“Last weekend I saw Beth Riley St. Raymond, who was in town with her 10-grade daughter, Charlotte, for a huge volleyball tournament at the Boston Convention Center. Beth still works in marketing for Gillette. She, husband Marcus, Charlotte, and high school senior Emma live in New Canaan, Connecticut.

“Last fall I spent a weekend with Beth Kost-man, Jeni Moyer George, Sarah Sherwood, Stephanie Semprevivo Ferguson, and Riley at our weekend house in Newport, Rhode Island. There was a bit of hiking, a bit of drinking and eating, and a lot of laughing. Kostman is an architect on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, with two sons. Jeni is now an empty-nester in Portland, Oregon, also with two sons. Sarah is life-coaching in Man-hattan with five kids! Stephanie is working for Microsoft in Bellevue, Washington, with a son and daughter.”

Liz McClintock wrote in about the class of ’86 mini-reunion during the Dartmouth vs. Brown game at Fenway Park on November 10, 2017. “I’m impressed that so many people came out, as that turned out to be the coldest night we’ve had all fall (19 to 20 degrees)! Paul and Hugh did a great job organizing the block of seats and the party at Lansdowne. It was a really fun evening. Here is the partial list of ’86 attendees: Paul and Liane Davis, Bev Bruni Zambarono, Cathy Freud Windsor, Ellen Stein, Carrie Fraser, Krista (Thomas) and Bart Corr, Joe Berman, Bruce Chafee, Steve Kylander, Lisa Wybranowski and husband, Marie Longo with Alli-son, Hugh O’Reilly and Andrea Lordan, Jen and John Paul, Tucker Stevens, Brian Conroy, Doug Mitman, Per Furmark, Diarmuid O’Connell, Craig and Kelly Saltzgaber, Patty Doykos, John and Deb Marchiony, Karen (Voss) and Alex Gruzen, Scott Rabschnuk, Jim O’Shaughnessy, Gary Greene, Mark Proctor and wife Charlotte, Kim Spaulding and husband Paul, Martha Molumphy Hincks, Andrew Getraer, Andy Doherty, and Tim Rumberger. Rumor has it that Burgie Howard and wife Jen were there along with Larry Peterson and his wife.” —Mae Drake Hueston, 624 Poppy Ave., Corona Del Mar, CA 92625; [email protected]

87 Class president Tracey Salmon-Smith has had quite a year. First, she and her husband celebrated 20 years of mar-

riage (a milestone my husband and I reached this year as well). Then Tracey changed jobs and be-came a partner at the law firm of Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, continuing her work defending financial services firms out of its N.Y.C. and New Jersey offices. As a bonus, she will be able to visit her daughter, Avery, at Villanova University ev-ery time Tracey travels to the firm’s Philadelphia home office. But Tracey’s “most thrilling” news is that daughter Gabi will be joining the class of ’22, giving Tracey “even more reasons to travel back to dear old Dartmouth.” Tracey’s advice to Gabi (and to herself if she could do it all over again) is to “be open to possibilities, challenge yourself, and embrace what is front of you.” That sounds like sage life advice for all of us!

More good advice on making the most of one’s college experience comes from Matt McIl-wain: “Embrace diversity of thought, follow your passions, and invest in lifelong relationships.” Matt’s daughter Madison just graduated from Dartmouth this year, and his two sons are in college and high school. Matt is managing di-rector at Madrona Venture Group, a venture capital firm, where his “focus on investing in companies innovating in computer science and data science increasingly intersects with the amazing innovations happening in biological and chemical sciences.”

This past June, Matt became the chair of the board of trustees of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, a Seattle-based nonprofit insti-tute conducting research to improve prevention and treatment of cancer and related diseases. Since joining the board in 2013, he has helped “the Hutch” broaden its relationships with the Seattle-area technology community. As Matt explained, “My passion for finding cancer cures faster is a product of life experiences. My parents were both cancer survivors for many years—my dad passed away a few years back—and we have so many close friends who have been touched by cancer.”

On a class-wide note, head class agents Peter Murane and Karyn (Wienski) Calcano thank all who gave to the 2017-18 Dartmouth College Fund. We once again beat our fundraising goal, bringing in $1,972,000 against our goal of $1,700,000. “For a year-after reunion effort this is excellent, and the College is very happy with our class,” said Peter. However, we can improve our par-ticipation: Thirty-five percent of our classmates contributed, which is lower than our 40-per-cent goal. Toward that end, Peter and Karyn are expanding their class agent team. My favorite part of volunteering as a class agent is the fun of connecting and chatting with the classmates on my list, many of whom are friends, people I know and like, or both!

Contact Peter ([email protected]) or Karyn ([email protected]) if you would like to become part of the effort, and you, too, might run into a few old friends along the way.—Laura Gasser, 746 17th Ave., San Francisco, CA 94121; [email protected]

88 In my inaugural Class Notes column, I want to begin with an enthusiastic thank-you to Jere Mancini, who has

inspired, regaled, and informed us writing this column during the last five years. Kudos to you, Jere, on a job extremely well done! We appreciate your work in support of the ties that bind this wonderful class into a supportive community that is truly “Better Together.”

As I begin my tenure as the author of this column, I ask that you please let me know your news, your personal or professional milestones large and small, your chance meetings with other ’88s around the globe, and other notes of interest Thank you in advance for the privilege of serv-ing in this role, and I look forward to hearing from you!

And now to news of our classmates.Two classmates have recently moved to new

communities. Leigh Dingwall has moved back to her home state of North Carolina after nearly 20 years in Connecticut, where she worked at her alma mater Choate Rosemary Hall as a teacher, coach, and advisor and also developed its women’s studies program. Now that she is back in North Carolina, she is living in a “tiny house,” and her abode was featured in a design magazine earlier this year. Sandy Broadus, too, has made a move, but hers is westward to California, where she and her husband and three adorable children will trade the Northeast’s snow for the West Coast’s surf.

Speaking of the California surf, Jennifer Taylor reports that she enjoys going surfing with Amanda Hanson in the Bay Area, and that they also have formed an active book group. A for-mer lawyer, Jennifer has embraced a new ca-reer path working as an educational consultant helping families identify appropriate academic or therapeutic programs around the country for their children. With her own two boys at board-ing schools, Jennifer has been putting in many miles on her bicycle and will ride from Prague to Budapest this fall. Amanda is also a former lawyer who made a career change. She now works as an acupuncturist in her own clinic after earning her master’s.

Back in Boston, two classmates are long-time contributors to their academic communi-ties. Susan (Lindsay) Lively earned her Ph.D. in history from Harvard University, where she has taught history and expository writing and has held numerous other posts, including assistant dean for the arts and humanities. Susan currently serves as secretary of the faculty, with responsi-bility for working with faculty, staff, and students regarding policies and practices of the faculty of arts and sciences.

Miyuki Yamaguchi is a research technician at Brandeis University, putting to good use the Ph.D. in biochemistry she earned from Duke University.

Miyuki, who was my freshman-year room-mate along with Townley Slack, is married with two boys and has enjoyed living in Newton, Mas-sachusetts, for nearly 20 years.

I look forward to hearing from you.—Victoria Woodin Chavey, 128 Steele Road, West Hartford, CT 06119; [email protected]

89 I heard from Lisa Rabbe, who with her husband, Francis Power, moved back to the United States after 20

years in London. “We are based in Marion, Massachusetts. I took some time out to press the career reset button. I have done a career and personal pivot from in-house corporate life to small startup life and from London to Massa-chusetts. I launched my own political risk and public policy-regulatory consultancy with tech, financial technology, and financial-sector clients on both sides of the Atlantic. I work on policy and regulatory challenges for 21st-century financial services companies, market infrastructure, and products including artificial intelligence, block-chain, and crypto assets. My company website is www.stratosphere-advisors.com. Francis and I have a small sailboat and are enjoying our new life in Marion, population 5,000, after many years of fun but intense life in London. Most recently, Francis and I just attended Professor Pease’s great lecture on Moby Dick on Nantucket, Mas-sachusetts, this past weekend, where we caught up with Brian Freyermuth and Amy Holden. I also connected with Emily Glasser while on the island. I’m reconnecting with many old ’89 friends and new ’89 contacts on this side of the Atlantic and am keen to connect with more.”

Tracy Benchley Turner and I connected; we had been on our freshman trips canoeing, so it was great to catch up. “My husband, Chris, and I have lived in Rye, New York, for 15 years now, which is very hard to believe. Even crazier, our kids are almost all adults—our oldest, Will, 21, is a rising junior at Georgetown; our 19-year-old daughter, Cate, is a rising sophomore at Johns Hopkins University; and our youngest son, Michael, 15, is about to start high school. I see lots of ’89s, some frequently, some once in a while—Emily Glasser, Kristen von Summer Waldorf, Russell Wolff, Laura Fitch Mattson, Jen Large Bowman, Barbara Kuck Close, Jamie Heller, Leslie Timothy, Bobby Jaffe, D.D. Danforth Burlin, Sara May, Libby Carrier Doran. I’m a social worker by training and have been helping run bereavement groups for kids ages 5 to 18 who have lost a parent or a sibling, as well as simultaneous adult groups for the parents. It sounds rough, but it’s actually really wonderful and rewarding—the kids get so much out of the groups—just knowing that they’re not alone is the biggest gift.”

Marnie Curry and her family are back in Alam-eda, California, after their multi-year adventure living in Peru. “We enjoyed our South American adventures tremendously. We were fortunate to travel extensively throughout Peru and enjoyed visits to Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, and Colombia as well. Our biggest thrill was returning with two bilingual boys. I’m looking forward to returning to Hanover next June and reconnecting with other ’89s. I’ve been blessed this year to spend time with Nancy Felix Bernard, who moved to Pittsburgh near where I was raised. My other Dartmouth connec-tion is the DOC of Northern California cabin up near Truckee (www.dartmouth.org/clubs/docnc/cabin.php). My family just spent a few days up there savoring the blue skies, star-filled nights, and beauty of the Sierras. It’s so impressive that a group of alums has managed to maintain this

cabin for so many decades.” On a sad note, I regret to inform that our

classmate Marvin Masterson passed away July 17. I know that he touched the lives of many of us while at Dartmouth and afterwards as well. We will be honoring and celebrating Marvin as well as our other classmates who are no longer with us at our reunion in June.–Ned Ward, 2104 Graham Ave., #B, Redondo Beach, CA 90278; [email protected]

90 Here is Part II of your responses to, “What are your salient memories of your freshman trip?” David Sherwood:

“I fondly recall singing ‘When It’s Hog Calling Time in Nebraska’ at Moosilauke with Walter Palmer, John Lynch, Scott Mackle, and the rest of my fishing trip crew. It was the capstone to the great-est fishing trip during which we never fished. We spent our days making the ‘Jell-O No Bake Cheesecake’ mixes that prior campers had left behind in Stoddard Cabin. As it was a fishing trip, we were told to pack duffle bags (not backpacks), and I recall it was something like a six-mile hike from the drop-off to the cabin. All of those things, plus the ghost story by Dave Herron ’87 and Wal-ter’s terrifying sound effects outside the cabin, made it a fantastic experience. This spring John Lynch, Caroline Choi, and I caught Springsteen on Broadway, so absolutely lifelong friends were made on that trip!” Julie Tomasz: “My lifelong friendship with Julia Weil Lazarus started not on freshman trips, but about six hours before, on a corner in midtown N.Y.C. where we met in line waiting for the bus to Hanover. We chose seats together, talking all the way to campus, where we were then pleased to learn we were on the same hiking trip—but that I had forgotten to bring a check to pay for it. Julia’s first of many acts of bail-out generosity toward me was loaning me money to pay my freshman trip fee. That generos-ity continued throughout our years at Dartmouth (and to this day) in so many beautiful gestures of friendship, and notably via her prowess at typing, as she helped me type up countless English and philosophy papers that I dictated to her in a panic at 3 a.m.” Jen Gittes: “I distinctly remember feeling sad, confused, and somewhat angry when people began singing what was then still called ‘Men of Dartmouth’ on the bus ride back to campus. It struck me really hard that our song excluded me as a woman of Dartmouth. I am so glad and proud that the alma mater was officially changed during our time at Dartmouth. On a different note, my hiking trip was all fun, no disasters, but it did make me greatly appreciate the comforts of North Mass upon our return from the great outdoors. And that was back when the dorms were not too fancy—creaky linoleum floors, clunky radiators, and weird lighting, remember?” Andy Affleck: “My favorite memory of bike riding, in general, comes from my freshman trip. We had spent most of an entire morning biking (well, mostly walking our bikes) up a hill (mountain?) and finally came to a sign that read “12% Grade Next 2 Miles.” We all whooped and got on our bikes and flew down the hill. Tears were streaming straight back from my eyes. Cars were passing us, but very slowly so we must have been going at least 50 mph. At the bot-

tom of the hill we all sat by a really cool waterfall.”And in class news, Benjamin Kwakye, who is

vice president and associate general counsel of Global Payments Processing Co., read excerpts of his books at the Goethe Institute in Accra, Ghana, on July 25. Kwakye is the winner of two Commonwealth Prize for Literature book awards for his novels, The Clothes of Nakedness and The Sun by Night. One of Africa’s leading literary scholars, professor Eustace Palmer, describes Kwakye’s most recent collection of poems, Songs of a Jealous Wind, as an “impressive collection that continues to reinforce Kwakye’s claim to being incontestably in the front rank of African writers.”—Rob Crawford, 22 Black Oak Road, Weston, MA 02493; [email protected]

91 Hello to the great class of 1991! As we all start celebrating our 50th birth-days, I thought it would be fun to hear

how everyone is marking the occasion! Are you taking a trip? Having a family dinner? Throwing a big party? Throughout the year I would love to showcase some of your big or small 5-0 celebra-tions. Please email me at the address below. In the meantime, here is our latest class news.

Michael Arad has designed the memorial that will be placed at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, where nine worshippers were killed by a gun-man. The design features two large, curving stone benches, a gentle fountain that lists the names of the victims, and a garden space dedicated to life and resiliency. Michael is a partner at Handel Ar-chitects in New York City. According to National Public Radio, the two “fellowship benches” face each other across the fountain, have an opening between them that welcomes people to “enter and join in community,” and have high backs that “arc up and around like sheltering wings. They provide a sense of enclosure, and like a pair of arms, [cradle] visitors inside this space.”

Michele DeStefano has written a book, Legal Upheaval: A Guide to Creativity, Collaboration, and Innovation in Law. The book includes more than 100 interviews with general counsels of large international corporations and heads of innovation at law firms. As a professor of law at the University of Miami, Michele researches and writes about the growing intersections between law, business, and legal innovation. Michele, who founded the organization LawWithoutWalls, was also up at Dartmouth recently to celebrate Law Day and to give a talk about “enhancing access to justice and lawyers’ skills with innovation.”

Tina Yen was chosen to be the president-elect of the Central Surgical Association (CSA) at the 75th annual CSA meeting in March. The regional surgical society in Wisconsin was founded in 1940, and its purpose is to “further the practice of surgery in its various departments, and the study and investigation of surgical problems.” While at Dartmouth, Tina was involved in the Women in Science program. She is married to fellow classmate J.D. Optekar.

In addition to sending me your 50th birthday updates (include photos please!), it’s time to make sure your alumni profiles are updated. Visit www.

alumni.dartmouth.edu/connect/find-alumni to make sure yours is accurate.

I’ll sign off with my own 50th birthday story. While I do not hit the half-century mark until January, my family felt that the only way to surprise me was to host a party five months early! So, on a Friday in August, I was treated to a wonderful reunion of friends, family, din-ner, and dancing! I was overjoyed to see a cohort of Dartmouth friends including Marjorie Culver, E.J. Robbin Greenspan, Sara Burbine Potter, Wendy Crumbine Ferdinand ’92, Tony Moody ’92, Max-ine Lum Mauricio ’93, Dino Mauricio ’90, Kathy Bowler Mitchell ’83, Russ Mitchell ’85, and Suzy Nachman Mercado ’86. My husband, Jeff Owens ’92, and kids Katie ’21 and Jack gave me a night I’ll never forget. I hope you all have meaningful 50th birthdays this coming year. We are so fortunate to have reached this milestone.—Deb Karazin Owens, 166 Colonial Drive, Fairfield, CT 06824; [email protected]

92 As I write this, summer is winding down and I haven’t received updates from many ’92s, but fortunately,

hardworking members of the Fourth Estate have been digging up the relevant news of the day—which, naturally, involves our amazing classmates.

Many news outlets, including National Pub-lic Radio and WGBH, have interviewed Cathleen Caron about Justice in Motion, which she founded in 2005 to help migrant workers navigate the legal justice system. “Justice in Motion’s international connections made it one of the nonprofits best positioned to help families with deported par-ents. It had already trained a ‘defender network’ of 44 human rights organizations…in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nica-ragua,” wrote the National Catholic Reporter.

Vanity Fair included Alexandra Bernadotte Nilsson, founder of Beyond 12, which supports first-generation college students, in a photo spread featuring 26 entrepreneurial women of color and captioned: “Each one of the women in this group tableau has raised $1 million or more in outside capital, breaking barriers and shattering glass ceilings along the way.”

BostonVoyager interviewed Courtney Dick-inson, founder and director of Acera: The Mas-sachusetts School of Science, Creativity, and Leadership, in Winchester. The lab school serves approximately 140 high-ability students and features project-based learning, with a goal of developing teaching techniques and curriculum that can be shared. I truly appreciated Courtney’s honest description of the challenges she faced as she attempted to bring her ideas to the public school system and then decided to open a private school. “Going to Dartmouth enabled me to see that I could have my own opinion and voice and to believe that I was worthy enough to make an impact,” she said. Acera is currently pilot-testing the use of CRISPR technology and gene-editing in high schools.

participants. “The major goal of this study is to promote understanding about aging in commu-nities of color and those of language minorities,” Anna said. “What’s nice about using pictures to convey their perspective is that language or literacy barriers disappear through the magic of photography.” Anna is director of the health promotion research center at Dartmouth and an associate professor of community and family medicine at Geisel.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitu-tion, “Erika Graham-Wilkins created her Peachtree City-based business based on a passion for cook-ing developed while watching her godfather, Doc Shepherd, and her grandmother, Artie R. Jones, preparing meals in their work as domestics. She credits them for the opportunity to attend Dart-mouth College, become an engineer and then an attorney, and then finally with inspiring her to create Doc and Artie’s Teas, Spices & Foods. Her husband, Thaddeus Wilkins, is co-owner. She has created dozens of spice blends, teas, salts, soup mixes, sauces, and glazes.” The Constitu-tion praised their Tangy Ginger Peach Glaze, “a scrumptious combination of honey, soy sauce, ginger, rice vinegar, peaches, and mustard, and you could absolutely just eat it with a spoon.” It’s available at docandarties.com.

If you catch any more classmates in the news, let me know, and I’ll include them next time. Soon I’ll be visiting Hanover to meet with the other ’92 classmate volunteers who comprise our executive committee during the annual Class Officers Weekend. More important, I’ll be able to spy on my daughter, Anna, who will just be set-tling in as a freshly minted, pea-green member of the class of 2022.—Kelly Shriver Kolln, 3900 Cottage Grove Ave. SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403; (920) 306-2192; [email protected]

94 Congratulations to Kate Novack on her documentary film! Kate directed and produced The Gospel According

to André, which made its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival last year and opened nationwide in May. Her film tells the emotional story of tastemaker André Leon Talley, a black man who grew up in a segregated Southern community where he would have been the last person expected to set fashion standards for women across the country and world. Yet Tal-ley’s influence in style at Women’s Wear Daily, W, and Vogue magazines made him an unexpected trendsetter and a prominent voice and editor in magazine publishing. Kate captures Talley’s legendary persona and captivates her audience with impeccable storytelling pace. Can you tell I liked it? The film is available to stream through several services.

I caught up with Christie Cameron Zawtocki after I heard she had been honored by the Char-lotte Business Journal as a “women in business” award recipient. The business journal recog-nizes 25 women who have made a difference in their workplaces and are blazing trails for other women. Christie shares that she is currently a principal engineer and shareholder at Hart & Hickman, the largest environmental consulting

firm in Charlotte, North Carolina. She writes, “I’ve been living in Charlotte for the past 12 years with my husband, Geoffrey Zawtocki, who works in the commercial real estate industry. We have two amazing kids, Stephanie (13) and Jason (12), who keep us busy with their many school activi-ties and sports. Stephanie is a passionate soccer player (following in her father’s footsteps) and Jason is an avid golf player with dreams of playing on the PGA tour one day.” Perhaps Dartmouth will consider recruiting early, early, early deci-sion students for the golf and soccer teams?

I’ve also received more news from screen-writer Jana Friedman Brown on her film project, The Divide. The independent drama-Western has been enjoying a successful festival run. It earned distinctions, accolades, and honors at the Albu-querque Film & Music Experience, Illinois Inter-national Film Festival, and WorldFest-Houston for best feature film. Actors Luke Colombero and Perry King both won awards for acting in a crowded field of independent films. With all the recognition her film is receiving, Jana modestly writes, “I am most proud of the support the film is getting from the Alzheimer’s Association. The Di-vide is the story of an aging rancher suffering from the onset of Alzheimer’s and trying to reconcile with his past and with his estranged daughter.” The Divide will continue its festival run in the fall. Visit www.thedividemotionpicture.com to find news and information on future screenings in your area.

That’s all the news for this issue of Dart-mouth Alumni Magazine. The next issue could feature you as we move toward our 25th reunion in less than a year. Just send me a note, and you’re in! —Laura Hardegree Davis, 1664 Cambridge Court, Bethlehem, PA, 18015; [email protected]

95 Earlier this year Alison Moll, Julie Weller Scott, and I joined dozens of Glee Club alumni on a pilgrimage to

Hanover to celebrate the retirement of our direc-tor, Louis Burkot. It was a weekend full of song and memories, and it got me thinking about the many ways music was a part of our college years and how for me it has shaped my life after college, as I still sing regularly in the Boston area. It was time to reach out to some of the other singers in our class to see what they were up to, and here’s what I learned.

From Erik Vaveris: “I have been singing with the Bach Choir of Heidelberg (‘Bachchor Heidel-berg’) in Germany for the last year. Connie Tromble Eyster and Brian Eyster visited us in Heidelberg with their son, Birch, last spring. Among many adventures in the area, they were able to come to our concert of Bach’s Mass in B-Minor. After two-plus years of living in Germany, my wife, Jane Petrof, daughter Gwen, and I are moving back to the Chicago area this fall.”

Connie and Brian had a visit this summer from Owen Gottlieb and his wife, Abigail Bellows, in Boulder, Colorado, where Owen completed his Wilderness First Responder certification. Owen’s team at the Rochester Institute of Technology Media, Arts, Games, Interaction & Creativity Center had two board games from its Lost &

Found series featured at the Smithsonian Ameri-can Museum of Art this year. The team has also built a mobile phone prototype of the first game for the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), featured at the 50th anniversary of the NEH, and is busy at work on a new module on Islamic law and another project on interactive media and healing.

Jennifer Lien wrote from Minnesota: “My favorite Glee Club memories are many, but they all happened on that tour bus during three spring breaks. Those tours cemented friendships and gave me a sense of belonging to Dartmouth that has not wavered. Oh, for those innocent youthful days again! Glee Club got me started in the sing-ing business, and I am still singing today. I just performed two Poulenc operas in Singapore this year—the one-woman opera La Voix Humaine with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra’s cham-ber series and led the nuns to the guillotine in Dialogues of the Carmelites with New Opera Sin-gapore. This fall I begin a part-time gig teaching voice at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minnesota, bringing me back full circle to my earliest days studying voice in Hanover. Although I received my doctor of musical arts degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2015, I’ve been so busy with parenthood (daughter, 8, and son, 5) that music had to take a backseat for several years. In my spare time I sit on the board of a Montessori school I helped start here in Du-luth and work on diversity, equity, and inclusion at the school and elsewhere in our community.”

James Mahoney chimed in on Facebook about his “first-ever gig at Tabard singing ‘Waiting for the Man’ with the short-lived band Hamlet Ma-chine.” And Eric Waters answered that his favorite music memory was “singing ‘Brown-eyed Girl’ with the Dodecaphonics. It’s how Michelle Wa-ters ’96 first noticed me and was the first step toward falling in love and marriage. I have con-tinued singing, first as a graduate student at Yale and for the past 17 years as a Lutheran pastor. Mi-chelle, our six kids, and I have moved to Texas. I’m the senior pastor of St. John Lutheran in Boerne, Texas, about 30 miles north of San Antonio.”

What do you do after you’ve done the impossible?Do it with less.

The new Panamera S Hybrid

The Porsche Panamera was the first vehicle to combine true race-bred driving dynamics with executive-class comfort and amenities. A feat few thought possible. But for Porsche, it was just the start. Introducing the Panamera S Hybrid. Beneath its lightweight body, a supercharged V6 engine seamlessly combines output with an electric motor for low fuel consumption and a 0 – 60 time of 5.7 seconds. Less has never been more thrilling. Porsche. There is no substitute.

cember. Phil and Chris also wrote the story and screenplay for The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, which comes out in February 2019.

Kristin Brenneman Eno is an early childhood studio art teacher at the Manny Cantor Center in New York. She lives in Brooklyn with husband Sean and their two daughters.

Marisa (Bassett) de la Garza is a social worker in Syracuse, New York, where she lives with wife Kate and their two daughters.

In other news, congratulations to Karen Stern on her second book, Writing on the Wall: Graffiti and the Forgotten Jews of Antiquity. Published by the Princeton University Press, the book brings together nearly 10 years of research on burial caves in the Middle East, Europe, and North Africa, using graffiti to reconstruct the lives of long-forgotten and non-elite peoples in the

ancient world. Starting about 3,000 years ago, Jews scratched walls in homes and public spaces with prayers, warnings, blessings, and store ad-vertisements. In the margins of the texts, they sketched outlines of ships, people, menorahs, and synagogue columns.

In an interview with Atlas Obscura, Karen said that for countries that have been torn apart by religious strife, and places where few Jews live now, the graffiti serves as evidence of past centuries of peaceable coexistence. Privileged and ordinary people of many faiths all had the same habit of emblazoning their names, interests, and accomplishments on the walls. Decoding the inscriptions, Karen said, sheds light on those who left few other traces. “It’s about paying attention to voices that have otherwise been drowned out.”

Karen is an associate professor at Brooklyn

College of the City University of New York. She researches across the disciplines of archaeol-ogy, history, and religion and teaches courses on Mediterranean cultural history and the mate-rial culture of Jews in the Greco-Roman world. She plans to create an online database of Jewish graffiti, which will be updated as more examples surface.

Finally, Anne Jones, Dan Gonzalez ’96, and John Replogle ’88 cofounded District C to teach the next generation of talent how to work in diverse teams to solve complex problems. By certifying high school teachers and schools to implement its unique learning model in which teams of four students from four different schools solve a real problem for a real business, District C aims to give every high school student in the Research Triangle of North Carolina a real-world

learning experience by 2025. Participants include Triangle-area businesses, universities, and busi-ness leaders committed to preparing the region’s future talent with the mindsets and tools needed for complex work.

On November 12 Anne, Dan, and John will come together with 16 Triangle-area high school students as they pitch their solutions to a Raleigh-based business at the North Carolina State Entrepreneurship Clinic. This cohort of students will join more than 115 other District C alumni and future leaders.

Take care and send me your news.—Jason Casell, 10106 Balmforth Lane, Houston, TX 77096; [email protected]

98 Hello, fellow ’98s. It is a privilege to write my initial Class Notes. A big thank-you to my predecessor, Jeff

Beyer, on five years of stellar updates and for helping me transition to class secretary. For me the past few years have been full of transitions. In 2015, after living in New York and New Jersey nearly all my life, I moved from N.Y.C. to Nash-ville, Tennessee. Feeling somewhat disconnected in my new home, I reached out to other ’98s in the South to ask what brought them here and to find out what is going on in their lives.

Neeta (Raghavan) Vora moved from Boston in 2012 when the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill offered her a job as a maternal fetal medicine-geneticist. In this role she researches the application of new genomic technologies to diagnose pregnancies with prenatal congenital abnormalities. She also sees patients with high-risk pregnancies. Neeta, along with her husband and two sons, ages 7 and 9, lives in Chapel Hill and enjoys tennis, hiking, and going to the beach. Neeta’s family also travels frequently: In July they visited Iceland and Belgium. Laura Guogas also moved from the Boston area to work at UNC-Chapel Hill. She has now settled in the Raleigh, North Carolina, area and works at Bio-gen, a biotech company that focuses on treating neurological diseases. She and her husband have two kids, ages 4 and 7. Laura enjoys the outdoors, including rowing, running, and gardening. Taking advantage of outdoor activities year-round is a common refrain among ’98s in the South.

Fellow Tennessean Abigail Roberts has been in Chattanooga since 1999, working at the Mc-Callie School, an all-boys private boarding and day school. Six years ago she transitioned from teaching to its college counseling office. Abbie has taken part in activities such as remodeling homes, getting certified as a master gardener, and playing Ultimate Frisbee. She met her hus-band at a Frisbee tournament and was married two years ago in her hometown of Gilmanton, New Hampshire. Abbie also attended this sum-mer’s reunion, and was especially thrilled to see Clair Jones. Former Tennessean Jessica (Schefter) Devin wrote in to say that after nearly 20 years in Nashville, she recently relocated to Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

Nathan Cook moved back home to Lexing-ton, Kentucky, in 2000 to take a job in software engineering at Lexmark, where he has been ever since. He married last year and became a

step-father. Nathan writes that now, with twin middle-school daughters, he feels caught up with his classmates. Along the way he has traveled ex-tensively. Highlights include a road trip through Mexico to Belize, traveling by road and ferry to Juneau, Alaska, mission trips to Haiti for earth-quake relief, and a “soul-searching trip across the country.” Traveling has allowed Nathan to stay connected to his classmates: Two years ago he visited Erica Thrall and Allison (Ahart) Geving.

David Walthall, by contrast, has roamed far from the South. The Alabama native has spent most of his time post-Dartmouth in Italy, where the University of Siena just offered him a tenured position. There he teaches a variety of courses ranging from contemporary political rhetoric to English for the wine trade. David commented on the strong sense of place and history he has felt in Italy, the South, and New England, too. In Italy he continues to lead historical and cultural tours and would love to help Dartmouth folks coming his way.

Twenty years after graduation, I am thrilled to have a reason to reconnect with classmates. Regardless of where you are these days, I would love to hear from you. —Gabe Galletti, 4000 Utah Ave., Nashville, TN 37209; [email protected]

99 Hello, ’99s!I am delighted to be writing my

first column as the new class secre-tary. I look forward to keeping up with all of your news and life stories and sharing them with the class. Currently, I am eagerly waiting for the snow to accumulate here in New Hampshire so I can get my kids up to the ski slopes so they can beat me down the mountain. This fall, however, I had the chance to return to Hanover to meet up with fellow new class officers: president Robert Tichio, treasurer Jeffrey Loeb, and mini-reunion chairs Michelle (Park) Leicht and Tully Murphy. We had the chance to meet with college staff and volunteers from other classes to learn more about our roles as class officers. Experienced ’99 officers vice president Catherine (Maxson) Pieroni and web-master Danielle (Unger) Buczek were there, too. It was a fun and inspirational weekend, and we came away with lots of ideas and maybe a few Lou’s donuts for those back home.

For those of you who may have children approaching high school or those of you who like to get a jump on planning, Joshua Platt has coauthored a workbook titled Kicking Apps and Making Names: A Guide to Successfully Navigat-ing the College Application Process. According to the publisher, Kicking Apps Press, the book works to “demystify the college application process and present students and families with a step-by-step program for successfully navigating their high school experience.” Joshua is an alumni inter-viewer for Dartmouth, has 17 years of classroom experience, and was named Teacher of the Year at two different schools. He is also the founder and lead college consultant at Ace It Test Prep, LLC.

Dr. Yuriko Jackall has been appointed the curator of French paintings for the Wallace Collection, located in central London. She had been the assistant curator of French paintings at

the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. According to www.wallacecollection.org, “Her research focuses on materials and techniques in the 18th century, the history of collecting and formation of taste, and the art of Jean-Baptiste Greuze.” Dr. Xavier Bray, the director of the Wal-lace Collection, says, “We want to continue to develop the museum as a center for excellence in the study of French art, and we are delighted to welcome a curator of Dr. Jackall’s caliber to help our visitors engage with this outstanding collection.”

In more news worthy of congratulations, Mi-chael Bruno has been awarded a Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) Program Early Achievement Award—the POGIL Peach. Michael teaches chemistry and biochemistry at the North Carolina School for Science and Mathematics. He says, “It is an honor to be recognized by my peers by receiving the Peach award. The POGIL Project provides a unique opportunity for sec-ondary school instructors to interact with faculty from higher education on a national level as peers and equal contributors.”

00 Hello, ’00s! I recently got a note from Paul Krakow and Nikki Savickas, letting me know about a visit they and their

children had with Drew McCracken in Cambodia. Drew works for a nongovernmental organization there helping combat AIDS, malaria, and tuber-culosis. He and his wife, Jill, have two children—Sadie (5) and Thilda (2). Paul and Nikki have Penny (10) and Teddy (6). While in Cambodia, they hiked through jungles, visited temples, saw many monkeys, and did their part to support the burgeoning Cambodian gin distillery industry. Paul and Nikki are based in the Bay Area, where Paul leads the machine learning product team for Amazon Music and Nikki develops audio description services for the blind at Apple. Paul also recently got to visit with Bree Dusseault on a business trip to Seattle.

Jason Deeken, wife Linda, and their five kids have come full circle back to New England as part of a job with IBM Watson Health. Jason sends big thanks to former Mass Row roomie Dave Ga-cioch for giving Jason a place to stay while the rest of the family worked through the move from Cleveland to Andover, Massachusetts. Jason is looking forward to bumping into other alums living around the area.

Congratulations to Kate (Christiaanse) Fen-wick and her husband, John, who welcomed baby Jane Ryan Fenwick in July. Jane joins “big” sis-ter Alice, 19 months. Kate and family have been in San Francisco since 2008 but are moving to Woodside, California, this fall. As a former mem-ber of the two-under-two club, I’m sending them all of my best wishes for sleep and survival!

01 Happy fall, ’01s! You may not be aware, but Connecticut seems to be a hotbed of Dartmouth ’01 activity. Joe Sond-

heimer and I were happy to host a pool party bringing together lots of Dartmouth friends in the Constitution State. Alissa (Abbey) Stoltz, her husband, Don, and their family moved to Weston about a year ago, and Miriam Ingber, Peter Vassilev ’00, and their children are very recent transports to Westport. We were joined by Kristin Delaney and her daughter as well as Suzanne (deVries) Decker and her sons, who were all willing to cross the New York state line for the afternoon. Debra (Brodsky) Shigley and Erich Shigley ’99 and their kids came down from Boston to join the festivi-ties. Scott and Alisa (Beck) Harrison and their kids also visited Ridgefield for a concert in the park this summer. In other Connecticut news, Alexis (Vagianos) Siegel, Adam Siegel ’00, and their four children have moved from Greenwich to Miami.

In neighboring New York, Carolyn (Roth) Fiuza and her family departed the Upper West Side for the leafy streets of Bronxville just in time to welcome their second daughter, Isabelle, in June. Juliana, 4, is enjoying her new home and role as a big sister. Rounding out our discus-sion of the tristate area, Chris Tully and his wife, Lisa (Rutgers ’04), recently moved to new digs in Chatham, New Jersey, and welcomed their third child, Lucas Michael.

Further north, Rochelle Bourgalt, her hus-band, James Gotz (Michigan ’91), and their daughter, Margaret, 2, welcomed Benjamin to the family at sunrise on a lovely July morning in Marblehead, Massachusetts. And even closer to that which connects us all, Abby Gillard traveled home to New Hampshire from West Des Moines, Iowa, where she lives with her wife, Lisa. The high point of the trip was a day spent at a lake with Katie Gayman, Bri Johnsen, and Jen (Murray) Talmadge and their kids. They also met up with Bri’s husband, Eric Wang ’02, Riley Lochridge ’02, and Seth Smith ’02, who were on their way back from their annual trip to the Second College Grant. Abby reports, “We were missing a few members of the Dartmouth women’s soccer class of ’01, but it was epic nonetheless!”

In the Midwest, after many years in the fash-ion retail industry, Chris Miranda graduated from Ohio University College of Medicine and started his residency in family medicine at Grant Medi-cal Center in Columbus, Ohio.

Hope everyone has a great holiday season, no matter where you are!

02 Hello, ’02s! Katie Simon Boshoff and her

husband, Adam Boshoff, welcomed son Max on July 19 in Johannesburg, South Af-rica. Katie writes, “We are excited to head home

next week to Lilongwe, Malawi, where I’m still working for Baylor International Pediatrics AIDS Initiative as medical director of the Tingathe outreach program. If anyone finds themselves in this part of the world, Malawi is worth a visit—please look us up!”

Kimberly Jenkin Munoz and her husband, Justin, welcomed daughter Nora Ann Munoz on April 10. “Her big brother, Jack, is completely smitten with her, as are we. She has already been in our travel trailer many times exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest.”

I also received an update from Paul Gulezian, “I am happy to report that I’m on sabbatical this fall term at my position as associate professor of biology at Oakton Community College in Illinois, and I’m writing a book on the biodiversity of the Chicago region. It will be a field guide to the spe-cies and natural history of the area, and designed for use in environmental studies courses and for the general public. I’m doing all the photography of organisms, habitats, and ecosystems in addi-tion to the writing, and its working title is A Field Guide to the Biodiversity of the Chicago Region. The publisher is Blue Door Publishing out of Min-neapolis, and it should be ready by January 2019!”

Congratulations to all!—Anne Cloudman, 315 West 99th St., Apt. 2D, New York, NY 10025; [email protected]

03 Winter is coming, ’03s!First, an announcement: The

Maureen Ellinwood Pluvinage ’03 Scholarship will be awarded to a scholar-ath-lete in perpetuity, thanks to generous gifts and pledges from family and friends.

Second, I’d like to take a moment to remind everyone to mark your calendars for our upcom-ing reunion, June 14-16, 2019. Kamil Walji (also our class VP) is currently stepping in to be the class representative to our cluster reunion, but he would welcome assistance or any classmates who might be interested in taking up the lead for our reunion.

I heard from Alexis (McGuinness) Dahl, who wrote to announce her marriage to Andrew Dahl ’05 in June 2016. Alexis and Andrew are parents to daughter Poe, who turns 3 this December. The family moved this July to Switzerland, where Alexis will teach theater at the International School of Zug and Luzern. Hope Switzerland is fantastic!

Jonathan Kartt (usurped in his own news last column by Yungsheng Wang) wrote to share the news of his May wedding to Sandra Osborne (Louisiana State University ’04) at the Palacio dos Marqueses de Fronteira in Lisbon, Portugal. He reports that he and Sandra live in Brooklyn and he currently works in philanthropy at the Rita Allen Foundation. Congratulations again, Jon and Sandra!

Ashley Nowygrod tells of her July 28 wedding to Jeffrey Doane (University of Vermont ’07) in Grand Teton National Park. The wedding was officiated by the Rev.

pleted his M.D. at Howard University College of Medicine and recently finished his internship at St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Erie, Penn-sylvania. Congratulations on the accomplish-ment, Louis!

Dr. Madhan Iyengar’s brother wrote in to tell of Madhan’s work in Iquitos, Peru. He was rec-ognized by Centura Health’s global health initia-tives for his work in bringing crucial equipment to a hospital in Iquitos to assist in gastroentero-logical care. Madhan received an Olympus medi-cal missions grant to bring the necessary equip-ment to Peru and to assist in training personnel in Iquitos to use the new equipment. Wonderful work, Dr. Iyengar!

Hans Albee, Th’04, shared news of his work as an engineer with ReVision Energy, a renew-able-energy provider. His company has worked to install five projects at Dartmouth in 2017 and is currently working on 15 additional projects. Hans has been with the company for more than 11 years and seen it grow from about 20 employees to more than 200. Can’t wait to hear more!

I heard some cool news about Sarah Mollo-Christensen, who went on to graduate from the Atlantic Theater Company Acting Conservan-cy after Dartmouth. Sarah has gone on to act in performances at theaters such as the Folger Shakespeare Theatre in Washington, D.C. You can also hear her narration on several episodes of National Public Radio’s This American Life. Our classmates sure pursue interesting careers!

Finally, an article in Forbes recently featured Amber Laws! Amber is now an entrepreneur, head-ing up her own boutique consulting firm, focusing on digital marketing. After spending most of her years post-Dartmouth at ESPN, she resigned to spend a year abroad living and working in four countries through the Wanderist Life program. During her time with the program she opened her own agency. Congratulations on the feature article, Amber!

04 In just eight months we’ll all be show-ing off our rocking chairs at our 15-year reunion! Speaking of chairs,

have you been looking to chair a new initiative lately? If so, perhaps you’d like to help with the planning for our reunion. If you are interested in this or would like to learn more about being a class officer for the next term, please reach out to me or any of current class officers. We’d love to get more ’04s involved as we ramp up to reunion and plan for the next five years.

Here are a few updates from our awesome class.

officiated and also introduced the couple back in 2016. Jess met Josh on a flight from Washing-ton, D.C., to Boston, and during the course of the flight decided that Josh and Ali should meet and date. She was right. In addition to her nuptials, Ali recently hiked 250 miles of the Appalachian Trail with her dad. They started in Salisbury, Connecticut, and ended in Hanover! She had a great experience on the trail and hopes to pick back up in New Hampshire next summer.

John also writes, “We are mourning the loss from New York City of Anne and John Karl, but could not be happier for them, as they are realizing their life dream to live in the Green Mountain State. We saw James Lamb and Ben Wade at the Karls’ new ‘Mountain HQ’ this spring. On the professional front, my wife, Julia, is hard at work in Governor Cuomo’s counsel’s office handling ethics and human services issues in the State of New York, and I am beginning a new job as a partner in the mergers and acquisi-tions group at Vinson & Elkins LLP in New York in October.”

06 Hi, ’06s.Greetings from Chicago! I write

this column near the end of sum-mer and hope it has been fun and relaxing for everyone. I recently met up with Mike Stroup who moved here to pursue his M.B.A. at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business after serving in the U.S Marine Corps since college.

We’ll start the column with exciting news from classmates abroad. Alexandra Stein is moving to Milan, Italy, with her boyfriend Mike Wood ’10. She is looking for European adventure ideas and wants all ’06s to know they’ve got a place to stay with her if they ever find themselves in Milan.

Fernando Ausin Gómez continues to work on sustainability solutions from an indigenous per-spective in Mexico. He recently opened a healing retreat center near Mexico City and is publishing his third book on the topic, Chronicles of a Man of Knowledge. The book will be available on Amazon by January 2019, and Fernando shares that all are welcome to visit him.

In December Alexis Ruegger and Jessica Ovici spent two weeks together touring China. This summer Alexis celebrated one year in her new permanent position at Insomniac Games, helping ship Spider-Man PS4 as a support technician.

She’s also been asked to represent her company at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Tech in Houston.

In August John Gontijo moved into a new apartment on the Upper East Side in New York City in anticipation of a male child being born in mid-November.

Casey (Hazel) Nicholson and her husband, Matt ’05, welcomed their second son, Holt Rob-ert Nicholson, on July 7. Big brother Thomas turned 2 in August and is enjoying having a baby brother. Casey and Matt are excited to see them grow up together and know that they’ll be the best of friends.

Steph Lawrence and Craig Rubens welcomed their second child, daughter Lawrence “Wren” Rubens, on July 17. Wren joins 20-month-old brother Sawyer. Craig started a new job at Google’s YouTube in August, and Stephanie con-tinues to build Traveling Spoon, the company she started that connects travelers with food experiences in local homes around the world. Traveling Spoon just launched in Europe as well.

Cayelan Carey received the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography 2018 Yentsch-Schindler Early Career Award.

Victoria Allen received the National Weather Service Isaac M. Cline Award in the category of diversity and inclusion for her “Navajo Explorer Weather Poster.” Victoria and her coworkers created the poster to provide weather educa-tion, help preserve the dying Navajo language (Dine bizaad), and try to increase the safety of the rural tribal population in Flagstaff, Arizona. Victoria looks forward to the next steps of the project, which are to seek funding and produce a video version of the poster for those who don’t read Navajo.

Kimberley McKee was selected to the Ver-mont Leadership Institute public service pro-gram. Currently Kimberley works for the State of Vermont as a grant management specialist in Montpelier, Vermont.

Finally, welcome to our new class alumni councilor Jen Bordeau, who previously served as our mini-reunion chair. Thank you to our out-going alumni councilor, Ben Schwartz, who has served for three years.

This issue was chock full of updates, and I loved hearing from everyone. Congratulations to all on such exciting news, and thanks for sharing.—Cindy Tsai, Synchrony Financial, 222 W Adams St., 27th Floor, Chicago, IL 60606; [email protected]

07 Apparently, you prefer your real lives to the last column’s made up ones: We had so many updates this time, we

are encroaching on other classes’ column space! Victoria Gibbs competed in the National Yoga

Asana Competition, where she placed in the top three out of 62 female competitors! This qualifies her to represent the United States at the World Championship of Yoga Sport in Beijing this De-

cember, which is essentially Yoga Sport Olym-pics with representatives from every country. Go Team USA!

Frank Gutierrez, Luz Lomeli, and their son, Trey, moved back to New York after being sta-tioned in Germany! The Army selected Frank to start a philosophy graduate program at Columbia University. Once he finishes, he will be a military instructor in West Point’s department of English and philosophy. Luz is working to transfer her teaching and counseling certifications to New York so she can teach! Frank sweetly writes, “She has sacrificed a lot as the Army moves us from one place to the next on a regular basis. So, a special shout out to her.”

Austin Lewis has moved to Los Angeles and started a new job as a public relations analyst with IHOP!

Severina Ostrovsky is launching an e-bou-tique, Gabri Isle, that curates unique European baby clothes from female designers! She tells the designers’ and brands’ stories and creates special collections for the smallest of fashionistas.

In 2017 Mitchell Pet finished his residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Uni-versity of Washington and in July finished his hand surgery fellowship at the Curtis National Hand Center. In September he began as assis-tant professor of plastic surgery at Washington University in St. Louis!

Dax Tejera is engaged (and apparently quite the romantic)! He planned a surprise trip to Venice, where he swept his fiancée, Veronica Bautista, away, both figuratively and literally on a speedboat to San Giorgio Maggiore, where he proposed at the top of the bell tower. He and Veronica are now both in Washington, D.C.—she at CNN and Dax at ABC News—but met while working together in Miami.

Bernice Kuang graduated in July from the University of Southampton, England, with a Ph.D. in social statistics and demography, and she got a pretty nifty hat to go with the ceremony’s Harry Potter robes! Her dissertation was on nonmarital fertility and cohabitation in Asia. She’s now at the University of Reading researching ethnic minority fertility patterns and son preference in the United Kingdom.

We may not need any more mini-reunions with weddings like these….

In May Dave Faherty and Elizabeth Graff tied the knot in Maine! Many Dartmouth ’07s and alumni helped celebrate: Cristina Churchill Rutherford, Dave Coen, Kate Davison, Laura Flan-nery Masters, Scott Fishwick, Sean Garren, Lauren Hassouni, Evan Michals, Wes Milks, Severina Ostro-vsky, Paul Wright, Will DeKrey ’08, Liz Vaughn ’08, Emma Baumgartner ’08, Brian Schwartz ’08, Aaron Absatz ’13, Abby Fucigna ’15, and Seth Cohen, Adv’18.

Joe Kutney and Nancy Zhao got married on Maui, Hawaii, this March! Coming to celebrate were Julie Chang, Dave Strange, Adam Patinkin, Susie Chung Criscimanga, Mark Criscimanga, Cait-lin Wong Middleman, Scott Middleman ’06, Marc Lajoie ’08, Andrew Jean Louis ’09, Brittany Jean Louis ’09, Dave Lindenbaum ’08, Alex Spinoso ’08; Jennifer Zhao ’18, Ione Curva, and Mei Lun Quach in Nancy’s bridal party; and Jason Danker

and Ben Waldron in Joe’s party. Dr. Alex Steinberg married Dr. Elizabeth Ma-

lik in Colorado! The ’07s making sure the groom was the last to leave the dance floor were Scott Andrews, Sarah Garcia, Addie Smith, Sarah Hughes, Andrew Flynn, and Whitney (MacFadyen) Flynn!—Jaime Padgett, 1837 W. Patterson Ave, #109, Chicago, IL 60613; [email protected]

08 Happy fall! As is the trend, this issue’s update is full of ’08s crushing life, getting hitched, and making babies.

Greg Haines married Melanie Schorr ’06 in Stratton, Vermont, in July with around 20 Dartmouth track and cross-country alumni in attendance, including best man Grant Allen and the couple responsible for the set up, Harry Nor-ton and Megan (Olds) Norton ’06.

On July 21 Gerard DiPippo and Laura Szarmach got married in Washington, D.C. Zane Thayer was unable to come down from Hanover because she just had a baby girl, but Gerard for-gives her.

Zack Chestnut is set to marry Ali Sutherland-Brown (Princeton ’08) in Ottawa on November 17. Phil Salinger, Charlie Volanakis, Doug Raicek, Ben Davis, and Jon Simpson will be among Zack’s groomsmen, and a number of other classmates will be in attendance for the celebration.

On the progeny front, Zach and Lindsay Deane-Mayer welcomed daughter Sienna on May 14. She’s doing great and has already attended her first Dartmouth wedding.

Xiao Ding and Kim Ding welcomed their first child, Charlotte Anne, in June.

Rachel Hochman had a baby girl named Van on August 10. Rachel and her husband, Chris, are thrilled! They’re hoping they can bring her to the next reunion for her first trip to Dartmouth.

Robin (McKechnie) Brown and her husband, Will Brown ’07, had a baby girl, Abigail Rachel Brown, on February 9. Class of 2040 here we come!

Ephraim Froehlich and his partner welcomed their son, Oromo, in January. Unfortunately, the first person outside of immediate family Oromo met was his creepy uncle Matthew Siegfried (Oro-mo is still in recovery from that early trauma). In June the family packed up from D.C. after a near-decade in the area and moved to Juneau, Alaska. If anybody is adventuring up north, drop Ephraim a line—he promises the Alaskan pong table should be up and running shortly.

Jessica Long started her second year of ob-stetrics/gynecology residency at the University of Chicago. She’s been hanging out with Taylor Whitten, Erin Johnson, and Margaret Ochoa ’10, and says it’s been awesome reconnecting with Dartmouth folk in Chi-city!

Jenny Fisher has moved to Rhode Island, bought a house, got a puppy, and is living the dream! She’s always looking for two more for pong, so if anyone’s in Rhode Island, let her know. It’s a small state, so you’re probably close.

Leo Gong recently started as a director of product at Apartment List in San Francisco, join-ing Chris Brouwer ’09.

Jon Scherr is also in San Francisco, which “continues to be a cloudy and gloomy contrast

Lindley is entering her second year at Columbia Business School, and Matt works at Google in product management.

Benjy Meigs got engaged to Debra Kerr (Penn ’08, but he assures me that his Dartmouth friends still approve).

From Ted Lesher: “I got engaged to my long-time girlfriend (now fiancée!) Lauryn Kulinski who is a Georgetown ’10 but ‘honorary’ Dart-mouth alum given how many alums I hang out with. Working on a wedding venue in Sonoma or Tahoe, California, for 2019.”

Chelsea Kirk: “I am the director of the Good-will Excel Center, which is an adult charter high school in Washington, D.C.

My dear friend Cory Kendrick married Alex-ander Berger at the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge on July 28. Alina Plavsky and I were bridesmaids, and a whole slew of Dartmouth folk were in at-tendance. Cory and Alexander had a beautiful ceremony on the Leach Field; thankfully, a loom-ing rain cloud changed course and spared us all a good drenching. We ended the night with a dance party and s’mores around the bonfire. (FYI, the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge reopened last year after renovations—worth a visit!)

Oh, great! I have space for another Jake Routhier pun-update: “Since we last saw each other, our dear friend Robin Meyers has started a last-mile delivery service using carrier pigeons. He calls it Meyers’ fliers.”

Thanks, Jake. I saw Robin at Cory’s wed-ding, where I learned that he moved from Cam-bridge, Massachusetts, last year to start his Ph.D. in genetics at Stanford. Robin has not denied or confirmed Jake’s claims.—Jennifer Chong, 7A Marine View, 19 Middle Lane, Discovery Bay, Lantau, Hong Kong; jen-niferashley [email protected]

11 Just a few updates this time. Jane Kang wrote in to say, “I wanted to pass on an update on behalf of several alumni who

graduated together from the Kellogg School of Management on June 22. Fellow ’11s included Sonia Rao, Ted Schroeder, Jaimie Berger, and my-self. Ritu Moondra ’09, Lily Eom ’10, Kathleen Woods ’10, Joe Kubert ’10, and Rob Marwanga ’12 also graduated.”

Katherine (Roddy) Lavine also sent me a note: “I just got the latest alumni mag in the mail today,

which reminded me to send in my own update. My husband, Noah (Haverford ’11), and I wel-comed our second son, Simon Prentice Lavine, on August 12 at 8 pounds, 6 ounces, just two days after our fifth wedding anniversary. Simon joins big brother Henry (now 3 years old) here in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where I’m still teaching high schoolers math (AP calculus these days) part-time when I’m not chasing my boys!”—Hillary S. Cheng, 16013 Legacy Road, #304, Tus-tin, CA 92782; (603) 546-8452; [email protected]

13 Fellow classmates, can you believe fall has already come and gone?! I hope by the time you are reading this you’ve

made it through weekends of apple picking, foot-ball season, and exams unscathed.

Before we jump into updates this month, I want to take a quick moment to propose a new 2019 initiative for future class newsletters and updates. The idea is we would “feature” a fellow ’13 every other month or so, coinciding with each alumni magazine release. The feature would come straight to your inbox and provide a brief update and summary on the work and accomplishment of the featured individual. The purpose of the feature would be to high-light classmates’ unique stories and impacts on their lives after Dartmouth, providing us all with the opportunity to learn from one another and keep connected with each other’s endeav-ors. Please send any comments, suggestions, or submissions my way.

Alright, now on to the updates! In the new nuptials category, Brad Nelson married Xiaotong Suo on the Stanford campus in July, with several Dartmouth alumni in attendance. Olivia Durr and Daniel Krawec got engaged while on a sunset sail in Cape Cod, Massachusetts—these lovebirds had been dating since summer 2012! By the time you read this update,

Sean Derrow will have gotten married to Margot Farrell (and partaken of a honeymoon to Hawaii). Tanisha Panditharatne married Bud-dhima Kurukulasuriya in Colombo, Sri Lanka. This one looked like a party on social media and was well attended by a slew of ’13s!

Courtney Crutchfield married her longtime boyfriend in Lake Tahoe—only to start at Rutgers Law School five days later. Finally, Matthew Boya and Shannon Draucker got married back in August, where Lindsey Romero and Mike Boyas ’16 were maid of honor and best man, respectively.

We also have a new addition to the Dart-mouth baby family: Jacob Hickson welcomed a baby girl, Eleanor “Nori” Rose Hickson, on May 10!

In this month’s episode of classmates do-ing awesome things, Adam Schwartzman wrote in that he and Matt Habig cofounded LiveWrite, a nonprofit through which he teaches creative writing and literature in New York City jails. Chris O’Connell climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and then vacationed in Zanzibar, as one does.

I heard Elise Smith also completed a hike around San Francisco—congrats, girl! Qian Zhang moved back to Boston to begin school at Harvard Business School. Lindsey Romero has made the

14 This past summer I had the pleasure of running into a member of the class of 2021 as we both waited for the train

to New York City on a platform in New Jersey. He was wearing some Dartmouth gear, so I, of course, said hello and offered my class year, and we struck up a conversation. I never thought I would be one of those alums who would just talk to random students, but I was totally thrilled to chat about the classes he was taking, the state of social life on campus, and his freshman trip. He was positively glowing discussing his experi-ence, and it really brought me back; I honestly still get that warm and fuzzy feeling when I think about the College.

It was great experiencing that feeling in real-time this past September in Hanover; I just visited for Class Officers Weekend. Of course, I am eagerly awaiting my next visit to campus in January to celebrate the reopening of the Hood Museum of Art. The Hood was very important to me—academically, professionally, and social-ly—so I am thrilled to see the new building and envision just how crucial it will be to the next generations of Dartmouth students. Should any of you be interested in visiting for the reopen-ing, I hope to see you there on January 26! If not in January, I look forward to seeing you at reunions in June!

Whether you’ve been back every big week-end since 2010 or if you haven’t stepped foot on campus since graduation day, I hope to galva-nize your excitement for returning to Dartmouth over the next few months in these columns. In preparation, and to cultivate those warm fuzzy feelings, please email me fond memories you have of the College! Funny stories, great class-es, meaningful professors, your favorite place on campus: You send it, I’ll share it. And now, the news. I only got a few submissions for this column (as I’m sure you already knew from my long-winded introduction), so let’s ramp it up for the next one, yes?

Talia Weiss recently graduated with a mas-ter’s in biomedical visualization from the Uni-versity of Illinois at Chicago, where she focused on developing virtual reality tools for medical education and training. After graduation she and her husband, Robert Rein ’12, moved to San Francisco, where Talia started a new position managing the virtual human interaction lab at Stanford University.

Michelle Shu started a new product engineer-ing role at Asana in New York City. She is build-ing user interfaces to help teams plan, manage,

and track their projects to completion.Isha Flores, who has been working in edu-

cation for the last four years, will be taking on the director of operations role at a local Wil-liamsburg, Virginia, charter school this year. The school’s mission is to ensure that all students, regardless of income, make it to and through college.

Congrats you all! And, I am excited to hear more from others! Sending you all best wishes and holiday cheer. Enjoy the season, and see you in 2019! —Jessica Womack, 223 Madison Ave., Box E, Fort Washington, PA 19034; [email protected]

15 As I put together this issue’s column, summer is coming to a close. I hope that each of you had a wonderful

few months and that you are looking forward to autumn. Below are a few updates from our classmates. Thank you to those of you who sent in updates, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this column.

Evan Landau writes, “I recently published an article called ‘Finding New Meaning in a Career Using the Same Old Tools of the Trade’ about my time interviewing individuals experiencing homelessness in N.Y.C. for a research project. I relate my experience and background in qualita-tive research to anyone with a career who wants to branch out and do something more purposeful with their professional skills.” The article can be found on Medium.

Logan Briggs ’16, now a medical school stu-dent at Harvard, writes, “The HMS Docs Who Lift is a team composed of four, first-year Har-vard Medical School students and a Reebok em-ployee (coming from Dartmouth, Harvard, Yale, and Augustana University). We aim to promote well-being, fitness (including, but not limited to lifting weights), and healthy lifestyles across Boston, all while raising money for cancer care and research. We see the Pan-Mass Challenge as an incredible opportunity to live out our passion of a healthy lifestyle and encourage others to do the same while also bringing awareness and fundraising to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and its mission of ‘providing adults and children with cancer with the best treatment available to-day while developing tomorrow’s cures through cutting-edge research.’

“Accordingly, we have partnered with the Zakim Center at DFCI, a department providing cancer care and pursuing research specifically concerning integrative therapies and healthy living, to further our mission. In setting out to accomplish these goals, our first objective was to demonstrate our commitment to fitness and active lifestyle—and to infuse some fun into our training. We accomplished just that with our official ‘training’ video.

“We have now moved on to spreading our message throughout the Boston medical com-munity in fun and creative ways. Two prominent examples include recruiting 20 Harvard Medi-cal students into a Spartan Race this June and recruiting medical students from Harvard, BU, and Tufts as well as residents and physicians

from Boston hospitals to join us in a triathlon.“Thirty-one members of the HMS Docs

Who Lift competed in the Harvest Triathlon. One other Dartmouth grad, Andrew Wong, now studying physics at Harvard, competed with us as well.

“With this triathlon, aside from getting 31 of our peers out and active, we raised more than $600, which put us at a total of almost $22,000 out of our $25,000 fundraising goal for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. It was an awesome event, and I was blown away at how well we did as a team (especially since it was most people’s first triathlon). It was also really inspiring to see one of our teammates, a combat-injured Army vet who lost his legs, and his relay win their division.”

If you’re interested in guest-authoring a column, please let me know! I would love to have some fresh ’15s featured in this space.

As always, please send any column ideas, thoughts, or updates to [email protected].—Samantha Webster, 665 Washington St., Apt. 711, Boston, MA 02111; (484) 356-3678; [email protected]

16 Happy holidays, ’16s! We’ve got a ton of updates for the end of the year, so I’ll get right to it!

This past June David Cordero and Andrew Kingsley got engaged in the City of Brotherly Love, where they will reside come this fall to study at the University of Pennsylvania. David will start his Ph.D. and Andrew will complete his master’s. They look forward to starting a new chapter in Philly but can be found in Boston in the meantime.

In August Ham Sonnenfeld and Amanda Fritz rode in the Pan-Mass Challenge from Wellesley, Massachusetts, to Provincetown, Massachu-setts, totaling 168 miles. The ride raised money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Our classmates are also up to exciting things in the workplace. Vickie Pan has kicked off her career as a DJ-producer! She’s open to collaborations, sound projects, and new music opportunities!

Cecelia Shao moved into her new apart-ment in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn (still close to her original Dartmouth crew with Veronica Burt, Vickie Pan, and Sophia Pedlow ’15) and is ramping up for the fall machine learning and big data conference season as product lead at Comet.ml.

Ali Dalton is flourishing in her new role on The Atlantic’s data team as a software engineer. Reilly Johnson started her new job on the recruit-ing team at the D.E. Shaw Group.

Alex Weinstein finished working as a legal as-sistant at GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) this summer and started law school at Boston University in the fall.

Wow! Congrats to everyone on all these im-pressive and exciting updates! A special thanks to Cecelia Shao for helping me collect news!

Don’t hesitate to email in updates—big or small—about you and your friends. I love hear-ing from you all! —Feyaad Allie, 144 Ayrshire Farm Lane, Apt. 104, Stanford, CA 94305; [email protected]

17 Let’s give a warm welcome to Ian Speers, who recently returned from Liberia! Since graduation Ian has been work-

ing for Americares, a private nongovernmental organization that provides emergency medical needs and promotes healthcare initiatives for communities affected by poverty or disaster. Ian studied global health at Dartmouth, but he wanted a more hands-on experience evaluating global health and emergency responses in Africa. For that matter, he spent six months in Liberia, where he worked alongside a team of eight local experts in global health, supply chain, and medi-cine. Fortunately, his teammates welcomed him from the get-go, and throughout his six months in Liberia, he became really close with them, meeting their families and even living with an Ethiopian expat. Although the work was strenu-ous and time-consuming, Ian got involved with the community by spending his free hours at church with his teammates and playing soccer with local students.

This summer Ian moved to Americares’ headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, where he writes proposals for global health programs, implements programs across regions, and coor-dinates with the regional emergency response team. Although his role is officially located in

the United States, Ian will travel periodically throughout Africa and the Middle East to collab-orate with teams and implement his programs.

Another international ’17 is Maeve Lentric-chia, who completed her master’s in philosophy at the University of Cambridge this spring. Maeve focused on Hellenistic philosophy, specifically Aristotelian thought. She examined the works of Lucretius, a poet from the Roman Augustine period who analyzed atomic restitution and the erratic fear of death. During the next three years Maeve will pursue her Ph.D. at Cambridge and will study the overlap between ancient texts and contemporary issues in philosophy.

Although Maeve spent the majority of the past 12 months studying and applying to various graduate programs, she managed to escape the library every now and then. Maeve is an avid runner, so she often jogged with her friends while gazing at the scenery in the English countryside. She also loves her fellow students and considers Cambridge to be an “intellectual heaven.” She enjoys having a community of global scholars who are interested in the same subjects. Maeve feels pushed and inspired by her peers, but likes that the community is not competitive; everyone is supportive and genuinely interested in each other’s work.

Back on our side of the Atlantic is Caroline King, who matriculated at Georgetown School of Medicine in August. Caroline spent her first post-college year earning her master’s in physi-ology and biophysics at Georgetown and ulti-mately decided to stay in D.C. after being admit-ted to the medical school. According to Caroline, the most surprising thing about the real world is that she’s constantly surrounded by people with similar interests, and it’s a privilege to engage in discussions with wonderful people who share her goals. At Dartmouth she had a diverse group of friends who studied different subjects and have different life trajectories. Since she still spends time with other ’17s in D.C., Caroline feels fortunate to have the best of both worlds.

During the summer Caroline took a course in gross anatomy at Georgetown so she could become a teaching assistant in the cadaver lab in January 2019. After taking this course, Caro-line confirmed her interest in a procedure-based specialty such as surgery. She’s had six eye sur-geries herself and says her life was absolutely transformed by the procedures that gave her functional control and cosmetic reparations that have enabled her to be her best self; Caroline says, “To do that for others is the greatest gift I’ll ever receive.”—Dorian Allen, 117 West Grant St., Apt. 123, Min-neapolis, MN 55403; (973) 986-5988; [email protected]

18 The summer is winding down, but the class of 2018 sure isn’t! Our class-mates are staying busy as they settle

into their new lives all around the world.Sammi LaFontaine recently started classes

at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine as a member of the class of 2022. Sammi chose Einstein because her faculty interviewer, David Rubaltelli ’97, M.D., described how the college

was similar to Dartmouth. Sammi has definitely found this to be true! The learning environment is collaborative, and the faculty, students, and staff are like a family. Sammi’s also grateful that Dartmouth’s academic rigor has prepared her for the high volume of information thrown at new medical students. Sammi is so happy to have found her new home!

Kimberly Ma had a great summer. She trav-eled to Tokyo with Hughes Lee ’17 for a whirl-wind, six-day trip. The time flew by with good food, old friends, and even a swim practice. Back in the United States, Kimberly moved to Arling-ton, Virginia.

She has enjoyed hanging out with Nan Hu and Krishan Canzius on the weekends. Though her graduate classes at Georgetown University haven’t begun yet, Kimberly’s new school is al-ready reminding her of Dartmouth. Georgetown also uses Banner and Canvas; it feels almost as though she never left Hanover! Kimberly has al-ready made friends with many of her new class-mates at Georgetown and is looking forward to many more social events and trivia nights. Make sure to say “Hi” if you’re in the area!

Sophie d’Orchimont and Garrett Martin have become true citizens of the world. In August they visited Sophie’s family in Belgium and then traveled to London, Paris, Chantilly, and Am-sterdam. In Amsterdam they met up with Alex Putter and had an amazing time exploring the city together. After a great trip, Sophie and Garrett finally arrived in Pécs, Hungary, their new home. This year Sophie and Garrett will be teaching English to young Hungarian students. Garrett is teaching kindergarteners, while Sophie is teaching nursery students in the morning and grade-school students in an after school English program. Adjusting to Hungarian life has been both challenging and incredibly fun! Sophie and Garrett are learning to navigate the city, finding the best food and exploring a new culture. They are currently living in a local church complex until their permanent apartment is renovated. Each morning Sophie and Garrett are awakened by church bells and loud roosters, but at least they get farm fresh eggs. While they are both enjoying all of their new adventures, Sophie and Garrett truly miss all the members of the class of 2018!

Liam Fortin has been enjoying his post-graduation life. This summer he visited Carter Nordsij and spent an awesome day wakesurfing on Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire, and catching up after a hectic senior week. In July Liam and Emily Choate (yours truly!) traveled to Italy for a spectacular vacation. Starting in Naples, we traveled north to Rome, Florence (our favorite), and finished off the trip in Ven-ice. We enjoyed some of the best food we have ever eaten and shared an incredible experience in each of the unique, vibrant cities of Italy. In August we moved into our new home in Boston’s Back Bay. The apartment is coming together with plenty of Dartmouth decor, and we can’t wait to host other ’18s when they visit Boston! We are enjoying our new jobs in consulting and making new friends in the city. Come say “Hi” any time!

Thanks to everyone who submitted stories! I look forward to staying in touch!—Emily Choate, 172 Commonwealth Ave., Apt. 3, Boston, MA 02116; (603) 305-5346; [email protected]

GradsThe MALS alumni chapter held its annual lun-cheon and open meeting on August 9 at the Ha-nover Inn.

The featured speaker was Natalie Wise (MALS ’10). Natalie has a degree in creative writing from both Indiana University and the MALS program at Dartmouth. Her work has been published in The New Yorker and many other popular magazines. She is also the author of four books in the last several years. While her books are very different in scope, all of them evoke cur-rent philosophy, poetry, and a deep understand-ing and empathy toward the human condition. Natalie’s talk was mostly about her latest book, The Self-Discipline Handbook: Simple Ways to Cultivate Self-Discipline, Build Confidence, and Obtain Your Goals. This very interesting talk was followed by a question-and-answer session.

Current MALS students, faculty, and alumni were invited to the event. Among those alumni present were Stephan Cantor (MALS’08), Judy Chypre (MALS’99), Kathy Coleman (MALS’00), Kathy Fortin (MALS’07), Joan Kersey (MALS’96), Linda Landrigan (MALS’97), Audrey MacLean (MALS’81), Melanie Pettigrew-Lee (MALS’97), Margret Richard (MALS’85), Julia Lloyd Wright (MALS’ 99), and Nermina Zildzo (MALS’05).

The MALS alumni chapter is planning fu-ture events for the coming months in both Bos-ton and Washington, D.C., so that MALS alumni can enjoy meeting one another without a trip to Hanover.

For those who live in the Upper Valley or love visiting Hanover, there will be several stu-dent and alumni gatherings on or near campus this fall.—Jane Welsh, 175 Greensboro Road, Hanover, NH 03755; (603) 643-3789; [email protected]

Clubs &GroupsWith the school year about to start, many Dart-mouth clubs recently hosted send-off parties for incoming first-year students of the Dartmouth class of 2022.

The Dartmouth Club of St. Louis held its annual student send-off party on Sunday, August 12. It took place at the beautiful home of Bill Hizar ’86 and Susie Hizar ’86 overlooking the Algonquin Golf Club. Many alumni and friends were in at-tendance, including Dan and Judy Wagner, par-ents of incoming freshman Jack Wagner ’22.

Hanover. Andrew Eastman ’07 and Kyle Oberle ’05 entertained a number of alumni who were new to town and for whom this was their first-ever Dartmouth club event. The club will meet again in a few months to watch Big Green football and will hold its annual holiday meeting on Thursday, November 29, at the Log Cabin Club. Thanks to Ken Bower ’94 for providing the update.

Caroline McKeldin Wayner ’88, president of the Dartmouth Alumni Club of Maryland (DACM), also provided an update about the club’s send-off party. DACM gathered on Sunday, August 12, at the home of Bruce Kennedy ’00 and his wife, Mag-gie, to offer a Big Green send-off to local ’22s Anna Griffith, Zion Jones, Ian McGrory, and Becca Wade. DACM board members Stefani Thomas Graddy ’01, Alexis Lim ’11, Kristin Smith ’92, Dave Stephens ’75, Caroline McKeldin Wayner ’88, and ’19 parents Mary and Stan White were joined by local alums Jim Goodrich ’87, Darrin Jones ’95, ’22 parent Laura Van Wie McGrory ’90, Rob Patterson ’85, Olivia Sam-son ’16, and current student Cameron White ’19. A great time was had by all!

Dawn Ling, Adv’15, and Reem Chamseddine ’17, with the support of the Dartmouth Club of Greater Boston, hosted a picnic on August 9 in Somerville, Massachusetts, to welcome the Dartmouth class of ’22. Amanda Zieselman ’15, Penelope Williams ’16, Ethan Blackwood ’17, and Ethan Isaacson ’18 were in attendance, among other friends. It was a fun way to introduce the incoming Dartmouth students to alums in the area, answer questions about Dartmouth, and bond over food and games. Dawn Ling reported that it was both rewarding and reassuring to meet the next crop of Dart-mouth students. They were an impressive group, and several of them sent thank-you letters noting that the event made them even more excited to start their experiences at Dartmouth. The event was an ideal example of how rewarding it is for an alum to be able to give back to the Dartmouth community.

Gray Horan ’82 of the Dartmouth Club of Rhode Island reported that the club had a unique event this summer which was well attended and en-joyed by all. The club attended the Newport International Polo Series—United States vs. Ireland—and enjoyed a reserved tailgate site at the event. The match proved a fierce battle of grit and finesse that club attendees enjoyed at close range. The event was organized in conjunction with other Ivy alumni clubs, and attendees en-thusiastically wore fancy hats and dapper polo ensembles. It was a very popular club event that will certainly be held again next year.

Please send me updates about the great events that your club, association, or affiliated group have organized! Newsletters and other email updates are also welcomed.—Stina Brock ’01, PO Box 9274, Jackson, WY 83002; [email protected]

Notable: New general director of Washington National Opera at the Kennedy Center, responsible for overseeing staff, fundraising, and collabo-rating on programming with artistic director Francesca Zambello; recipient of various community outreach awards in St. Louis, where he headed the Opera Theater of St. Louis; chair of Opera AmericaCareer: Started in Washington July 1; general director in St. Louis, 2008-18; previously in artistic and management positions with Glimmerglass Opera in Cooperstown, New York, and the New York City OperaEducation: A.B., English (Phi Beta Kappa)Personal: Lives in Washington, D.C., with wife Kara and three young children

H I S S T O R Y

“Running an opera company depends on having a really sound fiscal structure. My job is to assure we have enough funding to support artistic excellence that will be embraced by our audiences.”

“We joke in our house that my wife, a psychologist with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, helps real people with real prob-lems, while I work in a place where we make up problems and sing about them.”

“I bought my first opera CD at a Dartmouth Bookstore sale just to annoy my roommates.”

“When I did my language study abroad in Siena, I listened to The Mar-riage of Figaro almost every day because I was so frustrated trying to learn Italian. I found I could measure my progress by how much more I understood every day.”

“Singing a leading role in a College operetta gave me just enough experience of the difficulty and terror of depending on your throat in front of an audience. To do what I do now, you have to have a deep love, respect, and sympathy for singers.”

“As managing director of the Gotham Chamber Opera, I was the only full-time employee. I would laugh because the marketing depart-ment and artistic department were in an argument, but I was both of them.”

“The story about the impossibility of the economic model of opera is a long one. Opera requires the human resources of a major orchestra and a major theater company on top of each other—and all the language coaches you need.”

“Opera companies are often more different than alike, because each caters to its own market. Some audiences prefer the classics. Put-ting on new work means commission fees to composers, workshop-ping the piece, and building the community relationships needed to make it successful.”

“Starting to listen to opera is like starting to drink wine. You can be intimidated by the choices and expertise you feel you’re supposed to have, or you can simply enjoy it.”

“Opera rewards its fans by being complex. Often it is metaphorical—almost ridiculous—and has nothing to do with the real world, but if you allow yourself to suspend disbelief, you can be captivated.”

“There is something powerful about people sitting in a space together and being moved by the same story. The Greeks invented theater and democracy at the same time.”

“The purpose of artistic expression is to reveal the common humanity across our differences even when what we’re talking about are the same sensitive issues that divide us in a political context.”
