Class Note 1966
Issue
March-April 2022
Class of ’66ers continue to share what they are most thankful for. I’m thankful for that! Space restrictions require condensed versions here. See our class newsletter for full and additional responses.
Bob Serenbetz reports from Newton, Pennsylvania. “I’m most thankful for [wife] Karen’s health” since the pandemic had delayed her restorative surgery. “I’m thankful that none of my close friends or family have caught the virus. I’m also thankful that the past administration had the foresight to develop vaccines so quickly.”
“I am thankful for the family I have made along the way,” lawyer Dave Tucker reports from San Francisco, “my own family with Patricia, the love of my life for 57 years, plus three kids and two grandkids; also ‘family’ members of very different stripes, shapes, and backgrounds chaired at various dinner tables—more friends than I deserve around more dinner tables than I can recount. Lucky me.”
Jim Weiskopf writes from Beaufort, South Carolina, “My wife, Kamay, and I are most thankful for the outstanding care she has received at the Medical University of South Carolina since she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2017. We are blessed with three daughters and five grandchildren.”
Brunswick, Maine, pediatrician Will Wilkoff is thankful thathis family valued education and that he was “born with a positive outlook. My glass has always been slightly more than half full.”
“I’m thankful for still being alive at my age,” writes Steve Warhover from Vero Beach, Florida. “I’m also thankful for my wonderful Dartmouth friends and experiences, including meeting Anne, my wife of more than 54 years.”
George Trumbull is thankful that he and his family are healthy and have “weathered the storms” in good shape. He’s also thankful to be actively involved with four nonprofits in Connecticut and Kenya “that literally change the lives of many people.”
“There are three things I am most thankful for,” says Tim Urban from Des Moines, Iowa: “Family, [including] the love and companionship of my wife, Toni, and my children and grandchildren; friends with whom I can share things we all love; and my health, which allows me to enjoy the first and second things. If only we could come together again as a society for the common well-being of all of us, life would be good!”
“How can I not be thankful for the lovely woman who became my wife in June 1977?” writes lawyer Richard Tufaro from Fernandina Beach, Florida. “From Helen I have learned much about love, and faith, and family. We walk together, dance together, travel together, babysit together, and just enjoy each other’s company. What could be more special and magical.”
Our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Augustus “Buzz” Pratt, who passed away last November.
