“Honoring Our Past, Inspiring Our Future”: This special exhibit at the Hood celebrating Dartmouth’s 250th anniversary includes four works of American art donated by Henry Binder. Classmates attending the mini-reunion hosted by Perk and Dick Canton in Naples, Florida, enjoyed dinner at the Royal Poinciana Golf Club and witnessed a replay of the Dartmouth College case featuring Daniel Webster’s famous speech to the U.S. Supreme Court. Classmates attending the mini in Phoenix hosted by Laura and Herb Roskind visited the biodesign, space, and exploration building at Arizona State University. Our mini-minis were important, too, and took many forms and durations, from Bob Marchant and Ron Judson reuniting over lunch to Cinda Ely visiting Judy Stempel in Fort Worth, Texas. Judy shared pictures on our listserv of the two enjoying lunch and a stroll through beautiful Japanese gardens.
Gary Gilson honors our past and provides inspiration for the future. Winner of five Emmys for his work in public television, he has been signed by the Minneapolis Star Tribune to create special Sunday columns on the importance of clear writing. Check it out on his new website, WriteBetterWithGary.com. Chic Shaver, who recently spent time with Larry Selig in Florida, brings us great news from his home state of Kansas. Chic, professor of evangelism at the Nazarene Theological Seminary for 30 years, and his wife, Nancy, received the Church of the Nazarene’s Lifetime Achievement Award before an audience of 4,000 ministers.
Other reasons to celebrate? Rod Hinkle’s daughter, Marin, is starring in the hit show, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, winner of the Golden Globe best television series and recipient of the Screen Actors Guild award for her outstanding performance. Katie Silberman ’09, the brilliant screenwriter behind the comedy, Booksmart, is Larry Silberman’sgranddaughter. And it’s a third book for Mike Lasser, City Songs and American Life, available on Amazon. Bring a copy to Homecoming and ask Mike to sign it.
