With the complete absence of classmate input, I asked ChatGPT to write this month’s column: “In the vibrant tapestry of Dartmouth alumni adventures, Bob Downey’s legendary ski week stands out as a perennial favorite. Bob orchestrated annual gatherings that blended skiing prowess with unforgettable camaraderie. Each ski week became a testament to friendship and adventure, where Dartmouth alums carved through fresh powder by day and shared tales over fireside chats by night. Meanwhile, Skip Coggin has been making waves in the tropical paradise of the Virgin Islands, accompanied by his new girlfriend. Known for his zest for life and love of exploration, Skip continues to forge new memories against the backdrop of sun-drenched vistas, embodying Dartmouth’s ethos of embracing life’s adventures with gusto. In a delightful twist, Larry Weltin and John Lenssen, once brothers-in-arms in a Marine Corps choral group, reunited recently by email. Their time together in the military choir not only fostered lasting bonds but also showcased their talents beyond the battlefield. Their reunion underscores Dartmouth’s tradition of nurturing diverse talents and fostering lifelong friendships that transcend time and distance. Further afield, Carolyn and John Otis embarked on a cultural odyssey through Italy, immersing in its rich history and culinary delights. Their journey through picturesque landscapes and vibrant cities echoes Dartmouth’s commitment to global engagement and cultural exploration. Hal Bernsen and Walt Vail, with spouses, embarked on a seafaring voyage around the rugged shores of Scotland. Their cruise through mist-shrouded lochs and ancient castles showcases Dartmouth alumni’s penchant for exploration and appreciation of natural beauty. These diverse tales from Dartmouth alumni illustrate the university’s enduring impact on its graduates’ lives. From exhilarating ski escapades and tropical getaways to military camaraderie and cultural immersions, each story reflects Dartmouth’s ethos of fostering lifelong connections and embracing the thrill of discovery.” If the class wishes to be spared further fact-based drivel, please send me stuff, any stuff! Until then, see you at mini early this fall, from October 4 to 6.

Frank Gould has done his usualmagic, so you won’t be disappointed.
