Class Note 1966
Issue
September-October 2021
In a sign of things to come, 12 traditional 66th Night mini-reunions, masterfully coordinated by David Johnston, were held (on March 7, of course) both in-person (four) and via Zoom (eight).
The live sessions included a couples-only Florida event with Judy and John Barbieri, Joan and Bill Gruver, Betsy and Larry Haas, and Carol and Rik Offenbach and an all-guys get-together during the annual class mini-ski reunion at “The Shire”, host Tim Urban’s home in Fraser, Colorado, with Gary Broughton, Jon Colby, Steve Coles, Joff Keane, and Peter Tuxen. In total, 100 classmates and 27 class spouses participated in 66th Night activities.
After 25 years as a computer consultant to firms such as MCI, Pac Bell, and Wells Fargo, Ken Meyercord retired a decade ago and has been “doing the things I like to do,” foremost of which seems to be writing. He has published a memoir, Draft Dodging Odyssey (available on Amazon), about his years after Dartmouth under the pseudonym Ken Kiask and maintains an entertaining and eclectic blog at kiaskblog.wordpress.com. He and Samira live in Reston, Virginia, when Ken is not abroad traveling, which he figures to resume soon.
From his home in Norwich, Vermont, Gene Nattie still teaches “a bit” as an emeritus at Geisel Medical School and wife Candace has had to deal daily with Covid as a nurse at Hanover High School. They have five grandkids, ages 2 to 12, in Cleveland and nearby Lyme, New Hampshire. Gene recently took a close look at the new fieldhouse east of the hockey rink. “It’s enormous!” he reports. “Leverone could fit inside.”
Dr. David Harris can’t wait to get back to the U.S.A. After a long career in anatomic pathology in Jasper, Alabama, David moved seven years ago to Penang, Malaysia, where he helps cancer patients find the chemotherapy they need. Because of Covid, it has been two years since David and wife Bee Har have visited the states to see their two grandkids, Eleanor Harris, 4, and Isaac Ong, 2.
Our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of Larry Robbins, a financial executive, musician, and sailor who passed away from Lewy body dementia in May, and Dr. Frank Opaskar, a pediatrician in Cleveland who died in a tragic boating accident on Lake Erie in June.
Stay safe.
