Class Note 1967

Issue

May-June 2024

John Rhead, editing an issue of a psychotherapy journal, wrote he “has received a number of submissions that have moved and inspired me in ways that I had not expected.” Nancy Smoyer wrote from a safari trip in Africa, “Still doing well, still traveling, still living in Alaska, and still running a yearly event for veterans among other fun activities.” Joe Alviani reported, “I pick up our new Golden Retriever at the end of March and Betsy travels to Europe in May with her daughter and granddaughter.” John Isaacs reported he is “happily working (half time) after more than 46 years at the same organization (and the same wife for 50 years) and still traveling.” Rafael Quintero wrote from Ecuador that he’s “retired after a 47-year academic career of teaching and writing.” Dwight MacKerron has “located and explored some local cellar holes, remains of a community of African Americans who lived there from 1790 to the late 1800s. I find fulfillment in retirement by exploring the nearby land, discovering, and communicating some of its history.” Steve (and Betty) Ayres were joined by Dave (and Susan) Lawrence hosting Jon Feltner for dinner before going up to Vermont to see Peter (and Phyllis) Modley. “Pokey” Kornet said she “combined Christmas and an early celebration of my 80th birthday with all the kids on a bareboat charter in the British Virgin Islands.” Bill Sjogren said he “has had far too many medical experiences to fit into the 10-word sentence needed for Class Notes,” but in February that didn’t prevent him and Sandy Von Unwerth from joining Ford von Reyn and Sunny Martinson and Kathie and Bob Hession from enjoying “tropical” Montreal! Fred Behringer now has “all the free time I need to ski in spite of a knee replacement and two hip replacements during the last 12 years.” Alan Jeffrey wrote that he never expected to be old until he turned 96, “but the impact of a series of medical issues has me trying to get rid of ‘old’ and feel good with ‘older.’ ” Read all the complete submissions on our class website, 1967.dartmouth.org.
