Class Note 1968
Midwinter and our 50th reunion is only 16 months away. So start to plan on coming, and consider contributing to our gift of the endowment of the freshman trips.
Also coming soon: the new Moosilauke. I heard from Jack Noon that the old lodge is gone and footings ard already in place for the new lodge; it will be done in time to be part of our 50th celebration. From Facebook: Linda and Jim Morrison bought a house in Neptune Beach, Florida, and sold their house in Cohasset, Massachusetts, at virtually the same time. A new life beginning!
Our class playwright Steve Calvert shared news: After the success of his play this past fall in White River Junction, Vermont, it will go on the road to San Francisco, where Bill Adler will help promote it. Steve and wife Patty now have two grandchildren, one in Kentucky and one in Alaska. Patty plans to continue teaching nursing for the next two years at Rhode Island College.
I talked to Dave Hoffman just as he headed out to Cabo San Lucas. Dave is down to half time, working as editor for Information Today. The other half (or more) is as a stay-at-home dad. He and his wife of 33 years, Rebecca, have two daughters, both adopted from Russia. Elder daughter Natalia, age 21, is en route to becoming a pilot; daughter Ulana, age 15, is fully engaged in enjoying her teenage years. Rebecca is a physician in the Kaiser Healthcare system.
Lucy and Mike Zavelle are still in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where Mike is with the New Mexico Finance Authority. They have three children, one in New Haven, Connecticut, and two in Illinois, but so far only one married. Besides enjoying the pleasures of Santa Fe, they enjoy travel, most recently a train trip from Vancouver to Toronto. They are also looking forward to a trip to Newfoundland, where Lucy has relatives.
After 25 years as a coordinator of the Maine Energy Education Program, Peter Zack brought the program in-house, forming his own company after state funds dried up. He thus still provides education programs on climate, energy efficiency and pollution issues around the southern part of the state. Margaret still works for Spurwink, coordinating group home services for autistic adults. Their three daughters, one grandson, two sons-in-law and one fiancée are scattered across Maine, Colorado and California.
Chuck Adams is wrapping up his ambassadorial duties in Finland and heading back to his home in Geneva, where he has lived and practiced law since 1986. Growing up as a Foreign Service brat, he lived in eight countries, and after Dartmouth spent two Peace Corp years in Kenya. He and his wife, Vera Resteski-Adams, have one daughter, Maya, age 14.
