Bob Josefsberg scores another professional award. To quote the announcement: “Robert C. Josefsberg, a Miami attorney known for his half-century of counsel to governors, judges and clients ranging from rock stars to the poorest of the poor, has been selected to receive the Florida Bar Association’s 2013 Medal of Honor Award, the Florida legal profession’s highest award for a lawyer. This column previously reported Bob’s 2000 American Bar Association Senior Lawyer’s Pro Bono Award. When accepting pro bono cases, Bob often says, ‘Give me the ones no one else wants. These are the right clients and they make us the right lawyers.’ ”

Last September in Hanover Dartmouth celebrated the 75th anniversary of the founding of the men’s squash team and the 40th anniversary of the founding of the women’s team. More than 100 Big Green former players, parents and coaches, including our own Dick Hoehn and Don Bartlett, attended. Dick mentioned that John Horan and Jack McDonough did not attend the squash event because they had been back, along with Dick, for a similar tennis celebration in the spring of 2012.
At the Dartmouth-Brown lacrosse game last May, Meg and Bill “Moose” Morton were in attendance to see Moose’s son, Andrew ’85, honored at halftime for having been a first team All-Ivy player for Dartmouth. There were about 30 former All-Ivy and All-American players in attendance. Harry Sheehy, Dartmouth’s athletic director, orchestrated this event and the squash and tennis events to reach back to the “old jocks.”
Steve Banks says that the last few seasons have not been great for skiing in Utah. A left knee replacement last March caused Steve to miss the whole ski season. Since retirement in 1988, Ulla and he spend about four to five months in Utah, five to six months in Aptos, California, and the remaining time traveling. They still have a number of things to do on their bucket list, so they hope Father Time doesn’t catch up with them too soon.
Still practicing and teaching dermatology is Jim Ertle. He is president-elect of theNoah Worcester Dermatology Society. The society is a small group of 350 dermatologists who meet once a year for a scientific program. Noah Worcester was the first dermatologist to publish a textbook on dermatology and was a Dartmouth graduate. Jim adds that John Sloan Dickey’s brother was a dermatologist and headed up the Geisinger Clinic, State College, Pennsylvania. Jim has been instrumental in successfully recommending a client’s two sons for Dartmouth; one is a sophomore and one an entering freshman. He claims it is just an excuse to get back to campus to catch up with classmates at our fall mini-reunion and eat at Lou’s.
