Issue
Nov - Dec 2018
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, www.class-57@listservdartmouth.edu, 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 excellence 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 Medical School back in the day, but chose Union Theological 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 building 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 largest 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.
