Class Note 1970
Issue
September-October 2022
Remember staying in theater seats after seeing a film you liked so you could read all the credits? Well, our big production, the “Fifty-ish,” is in the history books, but we are only now rolling the credits.
In this column we acknowledge 18 classmates who made it happen. There were three vice chairs: Denny Brown (food and beverage), Tim Welch (activities and events), and Lis Tarlow (publicity, recruitment and registration).
John Lugar produced the music videos with messages to “Save the Dates,” “Submit Your Reunion Book Essay,” “Reach Out to a Classmate,” etc.
John Sadd produced a video compilation showcasing the works of classmates who are architects, photographers, filmmakers, woodworkers, and sculptors.
David Masselli edited the reunion book. Entertainment was orchestrated by Peter Logan and Star Johnson.
Tim Welch oversaw speakers and panels that were organized by Wallace Ford, Terry Shumaker, Duncan Wood,and Jeff Demerath and presented during the reunion. They were preceded virtually by Jeff Dahlman, David Deese, Lis Tarlow, and Dave Ullrich.
Denny Brown handled tent amenities, catering, and the Hood Museum tour; Harvey Katz handled the Moosilauke and Skiway outings.
Star Johnson coordinated beverage service in the tent and during meals and arranged the wine and beer tastings.
Scott Holland chose the Dartmouth-branded prizes for raffle drawings.
None of this could have happened without Duncan Wood managing finances and Gary Miller writing newsletters that contained details of the plans. These classmates stoked the fire the past four years through cancellations of the reunion in 2020 and 2021. They kept the flame alive!
In closing, Lis Tarlowshares how she feels about Dartmouth, what she did since senior year, and how she thinks we can stay better connected after the reunion. “Before my senior year at Dartmouth I spent the summer studying Russian in the Soviet Union with a Dartmouth program. I was thrilled to continue my Russian studies at my father’s alma mater. It was a rich year, including Russian literature, Chinese history, art history, and volunteer work teaching Russian to local middle-schoolers. Of course, I also joined my fellow students in Washington, D.C., lobbying to end the war in Vietnam. I went on to graduate school in international relations and spent 20 years as associate director of the Harvard Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies. Since retiring, I’ve been involved in nonprofit work in the arts and higher education.
“During the four years of COVID-elongated reunion planning, I had the pleasure of working with the fabulous group of thoughtful and talented guys who define loyalty in their passion for Dartmouth. The number of hours devoted to this reunion planning speaks not only to the love of the school, but also to the tremendous fun and satisfaction in staying connected. Going forward we can deepen the intra-reunion connections among us. We’re eager to hear your creative suggestions on how best to do that.”
