Class Note 1967
John Lobitz (johnlobitz@gmail.com) reported on the 2014 CarniVail. There was a great multi-class turnout with approximately 130 attendees. Class of ’67s included Steve Cheheyl, Dean Ericson, Ed Kern, Steve Landa, Larry Langford and John Meck. Dean Ericson and Steve Landa were first-time attendees. John paid tribute to the late Ned Gillette, his roommate for two years at College. The attendance of ’67s at CarniVail continues to grow. Usual attendees John Manaras and George Wood say they will be back next year. John is trying to recruit others to attend. It is always the first weekend in March. Let him know if interested.
Gerry Hills ’68 of the Dartmouth Alumni Club of the Virgin Islands invites all to join the next sailing between May 10-19, 2015, for a nine-day sail in the Caribbean starting from Tortola, British Virgin Islands.

Maureen and Tom Steiner of Longboat Key, Florida (tsteiner@baldwinbell.com), alerted me that son Matt Steiner ’16 is currently enrolled at College. He is a government and history major. Matt is working as an intern for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Thanks for the update.
Jonathan Dana (jdana46@gmail.com) of West Hollywood, California, offered some notes on an excellent story in The Wall Street Journal (May 16) about our early days at Kiewit and how BASIC opened up computers. Always appreciated Vic McGee being decades ahead of the pack and teaching us that stuff. J.D. is an independent filmmaker. He offered a website regarding his latest movie. There is a brief bio in the “filmmakers” tab. The bio emphasizes his documentary work. His next fiction movie is The Forger, starring John Travolta, Christopher Plummer and Tye Sheridan, which is in post-production and should be out next year. Jonathan says it was fun to shoot in Boston, at the Museum of Fine Arts, where they got VIP treatment (through Travolta) to get to Fenway for the playoffs and series (www.zeitgeistfilms.com/galapagosaffair/filmmakers.html).
