Class Note 1970
Issue
Nov - Dec 2017
I am enjoying the finest August in Connecticut in my memory as I polish up the notes for this issue. Meanwhile Hurricane Harvey is swirling around the Texas Gulf Coast, causing devastating flooding and mayhem.
Scott Perry has an active schedule between blue water ocean sailing and spending time with family in Argentina, Uruguay and Spain. Scott advises that, “Although I do far less work these days I still own two companies in Argentina that keep me somewhat busy. My main activity is sailing. I also find time to do volunteer work as a stretcher-bearer taking very ill people to Lourdes on pilgrimages. I don’t know how much longer I will do that as I don’t want to go from volunteer to patient in one step! Christine and I spend a great deal of time in Uruguay, where we have a working farm. When not in Uruguay we are with our grandchildren in Argentina or in Europe, where we have a home in the United Kingdom and in Spain.”
For himself, Dave Noyes says, “I finally retired from banking and insurance this past February and am enjoying the time with an active schedule! I keep busy by playing tennis twice a week, working out at the YMCA most days, serving as finance chair at my local church and doing some volunteer work at the ER department of a local hospital. Now that I had my knee replaced, I am able to be active again and am having fun scheduling vacations to Hilton Head, South Carolina, and other destinations.”
Dave also reports that Bill Ream advised him that he retired from a professional career and now teaches skiing at Deer Valley in Utah, where his office is the ski slopes. He and his wife seem to be enjoying life in retirement there.
Mark Heller talked to Vic Anderson, who was preparing to go to Uganda under the auspices of Conscience International. As a doctor (retired) he is meeting with African doctors and helping set up teaching facilities, clinics and protocols there.
Tom Charles says, “I’m gliding into retirement although I still do some mortgage finance work. I spent the last year coordinating the resettlement of a Syrian refugee family for my church—the 12th family during the last 60 years that Nassau Presbyterian Church has sponsored here in Princeton, New Jersey.”
Our adopted classmate Paula Neely Sinclair relates, “I was at a dinner meeting this spring with two British octogenarians on an Oxford-Cambridge tour to Iran when I mentioned I spent my senior year (without mentioning the year) at Dartmouth.” They asked, “Did you ever know someone named Trip Dorkey?” Talk about a small world. Most of my post-Dartmouth life has been outside the United States (Portugal, Brazil, Scotland and China) but London is home now. I spend winters in California and travel as much as I can.”
Thank you for the many contribution to these Class Notes.
