Jerry Appelle will put away his tools and chair after a half-century of dentistry in Manhattan where he resides with wife Elaine Bernanke, cousin of former Federal Reserve chair Ben Bernanke. Following studies at Tufts, Jerry served in the Mekong Delta, winning the Commendation Medal and Bronze Star. The Appelles are married 29 years and have a daughter. Retirement allows them to spend time in nearby Long Island’s East Hampton, where they often summer.
When Dick Swett shared New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern’s Harvard commencement speech on “the fragility of democracy,” Chip Johnstone couldn’t resist teasing, “It’s terrific, Dick. Do you have a habit of looking up Harvard commencement speeches?” Chip retired in 2006 from his own higher education career, most recently as founding assistant vice president and provost at Western Governors University, a nonprofit, online university in Utah. Chip earned his Ph.D. in English from University of Oregon. He and Peggy live in San Diego, California. Chip skis with sons Chris and Jonathan and hikes and fishes on the Green River, “one of the world’s great trout streams.”
Martin Luther King III addressed the College May 23, 60 years to the day when dad Martin Luther King Jr. spoke in 105 Dartmouth Hall. Share memories at Harvard Homecoming October 28-29 and at our 60th reunion June 12-15. Homecoming starts with dinner Friday at Dunk’s Sports Grill in Hanover; Saturday features the morning executive committee meeting, football in the stadium class section, and dinner at Lyme (New Hampshire) Inn. For our June 60th co-chairs Bill and Petie Subin organized committees and volunteers are welcome. Contact dwsubinlaw@comcast.net.
Biking stalwarts Mike Prince and John Merrow were at it again: Mike (his 37th) and wife Jeanne on behalf of the Dartmouth Cancer Center; John (his 12th) “Bike My Age,” this one for World Central Kitchen, depending on recovery from a tissue tear and bone spurs. Journalist Jack Smith lives in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, not Newton Square as reported here in May-June.
I regret to report the passing of Bob Goldberg. Obituaries by Tige Harris will appear in the magazine online edition.
