Class Note 1970
Issue
March-April 2023
We start this column with submissions from two of our class’ coed exchange students. Gay Rhodes Handler wrote, “Three days before our wedding in March 1989, my husband, Michael, was offered a job at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City. After 37 years there, we moved to Westwood, Massachusetts. The motivation was a newborn grandson and a desire to live in a ‘blue state’ again.”
Laura Lynn Walsh taught school for many years in Fairbanks, Alaska, where her husband, John Walsh, is an Arctic climate scientist. (Secretary’s Note: The news about John winning the prestigious Mohn Prize appeared in the November/December 2022 issue of DAM.)“I still teach, play board games, and write music, which I did for the first time when I was 62 years old.”
John Sadd checked in with a report of his recent trip to Morocco. (This is where I wish we had room for a photo because John “saddled” up on a camel’s back is priceless!)
On March 12-16 a group of classmates and their wives plan to gather for a mini-reunion in Tucson, Arizona. The event is being planned by Marc Heller and Steve White. We’ll have a full report on who attended in the next issue, including their recaps of mountain biking, golf, and tennis activities.
And for those of you like me turning 75 in March and April, happy birthday!
Finally, here’s a challenge to the class. Nothing would please us more than to hear from classmates who haven’t updated us in a long time regarding what they’re doing—a new hobby, a unique trip taken, etc. I’m prepared to dedicate the entire July/August column to classmates who have not been mentioned since I started writing this column a year ago. The column has a maximum of 500 words. Can I get six of you to write 75 words each? I want to see how much you can share in 75 words. I think the next few lines communicate a lot in 73 words.
Men of Dartmouth, give a rouse for the college on the hill
For the lone pine above us, the loyal sons who love us
Give a rouse, give a rouse with a will
Though ’round the girdled earth they roam, Her spell on them remains.
They have the still north in their hearts the hill winds in their veins,
And the granite of New Hampshire in their muscles and their brains.
