Class Note 1960

Issue

March-April 2021

Authoring this column in December makes it difficult to predict the state of affairs by the time of printing in March/April, but I intend to be optimistic. I introduce the scholars paired with the Class of 1960 Scholarship Fund for the 2020-21 academic year: Sarrah-ann L. Allen ’23 from Saint Catherine, Jamaica; Rodolfo Flores ’23 from Los Angeles; Nora W. Guszkowski ’22 from Pomfret Center, Connecticut; Keli E. Pegula ’24 from Scranton, Pennsylvania; James N. Yeagley ’21 from Berwyn, Pennsylvania. You may reach out to these students with their respective emails: sarrahann.l.allen.23@dartmouth.edu, rodolfo.flores.23@dartmouth.edu, gus.guszkowski.22@dartmouth.edu, keli.e.pegula.24@dartmouth.edu, and james.n.yeagley.21@dartmouth.edu.

Robert W. Hatch, chairman and CEO of Cereal Ingredients Inc. and Great Plains Analytical Laboratory, was honored as a visionary leader by the University of Missouri-Kansas City Bloch School. Hatch founded Cereal Ingredients, a specialty-food ingredients manufacturer, and Great Plains Analytical Laboratory in 1990. Hatch is also chairman of Foundation for International Community Assistance International, a not-for-profit microfinance organization with a mission to provide financial services to the world’s lowest-income entrepreneurs so they can create jobs, build assets, and improve their standard of living. When asked what would be their first priority after receiving Covid vaccine, a few replied as follows. Marty Weiss, like so many others, would visit his children and grandchildren, unseen since last March. Jonathan Tuerk would either go shopping in person to his local grocery store or go by plane from the East to the West Coast to visit grandkids in San Francisco and eat in their restaurant Firefly in Noe Valley. Dan Wilkinson is booked to play banjo in Sweden on July 31 and in Napa Valley, California, in October. Meanwhile, the intrepid Joe McHugh and Brenda are eager to finally join a twice-postponed Dartmouth travel group to Israel, Jordan, the Red Sea, Egypt, and Greece. Most importantly for Anita and Ed Henriquez will be to try to resume some traveling; they have booked two cruises in 2021—with the full realization that anything they plan will depend on the Covid situation. Joel Black will hug his kids, grandkids, and great grandson.

Denny Goodman, we miss you and love you.
