Class Note 1966
Issue
November-December 2021
With a tough year behind us and Thanksgiving on the horizon we asked some classmates what they were most thankful for.
Bill Ramos, agynecologist in Las Vegas, writes: “I am most thankful to God and fate for giving me the skills (heart, hands, brain) to pursue a long and successful medical career. I am also grateful to Dartmouth and my wife for the education and motivation. It’s been a wonderful life (not done yet).”
Norm Shaffer, retired Goldman Sachs investment banker and part-time children’s story author, writes: “What I’m most thankful for now is that I can see family again and actually do things with my (three) children and (four) grandchildren.
Lance Roberts, founder and partner of retirement investment advisor CIFmarketplace, writes he is thankful for his “spouse and West Virginia.” Lance’s wife, Jackie, “is eight years younger and keeps me jumping both mentally and physically (saddlebred horseback riding),” and “Charleston, West Virginia, is charming.”
Chuck Sherman, retired National Institutes of Health administrator and proud resident of Strafford, Vermont, writes: “I’m thankful to live where I don’t need to lock my door (I probably have a key here, somewhere) or need air-conditioning and can fill my freezer with wild blueberries, ski half of the year, and surf the Internet on a beam of light through a thin fiber anytime.”
Susan and John Colby are thankful that Hurricane Henri in August eased up a bit and didn’t damage their North Kingston, Rhode Island, home, or that of friends Evelyn and Ed Long in nearby Jamestown.
Saleh Jabarin, professor emeritus at the University of Toledo College of Engineering who came to the United States from Palestine in 1962, is thankful that his book, My Journey: Finding Relevance Through the Pursuit of Learning, has been published. “This book tells the story of my experiences professionally, personally, and in community involvement.” Available at https://store.bookbaby.com/book/The-Journey5.
For a clear understanding of the administration’s new antimonopoly initiatives, check out Nelson Lichtenstein’s op-ed in the July 13 New York Times.
Our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Roc Cavino, an architect, painter, and active community participant who passed away in his adopted state of Maine in early July.
