Nov - Dec 2018
O’er the girdled earth we roamed: Gordy McKean and Pat visited Hawaii recently, island-hopping by cruise ship followed by a week at Aulani-Disney. Peter Knight and Zaida traveled to Finland for a conference about Peter’s consuming interest in universal basic income, followed by visits to Stockholm, Berlin, and Görlich, Germany, for a meeting with former World Bank colleagues. Earlier the Knights met up with Peter Brink and Susan in South Africa. Ed Hirsch’spost to the listserv about his recent tour of Japan sparked recollections of visits to Japan by Russ Hardy, Carl Herbold, Steve Reid, and Jim Blair.
John Thees and Elyse made their annual escape-the-Texas-heat pilgrimage to the Colorado Mountains, where they will get together with Al Huck and Pat. Elizabeth and I, living in Galveston, Texas, made a less-successful attempt to escape the heat by taking a 4,800-mile, five-week road trip throughout the baking-hot Southeast in July and August. While in Savannah, Georgia, we met up with Steve Geller, who teaches Shakespeare and satire in addition to writing novels and blogging. Earlier in London we enjoyed lunch at the legendary Queens Club as the guests of Pat Giles and Bonnie. We missed Mike Howard and Ngila, who had just departed London for their place in France, where they entertained Alan Rapoport and Arja.
Ted Beal and Kathyplayed golf in Scotland. Ted, a psychiatrist, is now 75-percent retired. During the past eight years Ted conducted about 5,000 patient visits at Walter Reed Army Medical Center with vets returning from combat in the Middle East. He has compiled his insights into a book, Stories Outside Our Moral Universe: America’s Unshared Grief with the Honorable 1%. Galleys are available on request (malbeal83@gmail.com). Comments are welcomed.
Class authors: David Laing just published a 325-page autobiography titled The Dartmouth Man: A Charmed Life. Jerry Cohen, who for 50 years has taught foreign languages at the University of Missouri at Rolla, is the author of several books on etymology. Both authors are available on Amazon.
Wah hoo wah: John Schiffman’s efforts succeeded in raising $478,221 for the Dartmouth College Fund this year, exceeding our goal of $450,000.
