Class Note 1966
Issue
May-June 2022
Class of’66ers continue to share the one or two things they are most thankful for. Space restrictions require condensed versions here. Please see our class newsletter, available on our class website, for full and additional responses.
“As of last month we are still in good health and spirits,” reports financial advisor Jim Yarmon from Anchorage, Alaska. “I’m thankful for still being able to travel and ski.”
Hank Art, now fully emeritus from teaching biology and environmental studies at Williams College, has much to be thankful for. “The first would be our family that commenced when Pam and I got married a couple of days before graduation in 1966 and the second is for our more than half-century of health and well-being.”
“Number one,” writes George Washington University economics professor Tony Yezer from Bethesda, Maryland, “is that I am sustained by my faith in God and that has come through the Catholic church. Second are all the admirable people who I have met and interacted with, including my classmates from Dartmouth. A remarkable group.”
“First,” writes national security expert David Barton, “I am most thankful for the dedicated, exhausting work that my daughter and son have done in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to keep my special-needs grandson safe, healthy, and thriving during this horrific pandemic. Second, I am thankful for the strength and resilience of our democracy.”
“I am grateful for my education at Dartmouth,” reports Joe Barker, developer of “The Gulch” section of downtown Nashville and member of the board of governors of Hood Museum, “which has made this time of separation from normal routines bearable as I read, wrote, and studied about a whole variety of things with my wife that were inspired by my time in Hanover as a student.”
Page-turners: Last fall Dr. Howard Weiner,director of neurology at Brigham Hospital in Boston, published his latest book, The Brain Under Siege, explaining the science behind MS, ALS, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and glioblastoma. He reports that Hollywood has purchased rights to the book, so stay tuned. Godine at Fifty: A Retrospective of Five Decades in the Life of an Independent Publisher is a loving review by David Godine of the 300 books his small selective press has published.
“Joanne and I have dodged the Covid,” Todd Kalif reports from Colchester, Connecticut. A high school teacher and administrator for 34 years and a sports reporter and photographer for another 10, Todd is looking forward to the delayed and repositioned class 55th reunion in May in Boston (23 to 26), “Although,” he confesses, “I’m going to miss the reunion row that has been an every-five-year staple of my life for half a century.”
There’s still time to join Todd and many other classmates in Boston. See you there!
