Class Note 1970
Issue
July-August 2023
This column is about “Trips”—not road trips to Colby Jr. College or Mount Holyoke, but classmates who are the third generation with the same name as their father and grandfather.
I counted 23 ’70s who fit that description. We start with five.
Chip Cody writes, “After 42 years of practice (breast surgical oncology) I’ll retire from surgery this coming December. I plan to continue some teaching and clinical research. We’ll stay in N.Y.C. near our three daughters and six grandchildren. Family, classical music, great books, sports, gardening, and the revived Lionel trains should fill the bill.”
Day Krolik has been married for 45 years and has a 27-year-old daughter who graduated from Colgate. She is now studying interior design at Parsons. After a long career as a lawyer for NBC, Day and his wife travel often. Home is either New York City or Sagaponack (on eastern Long Island, New York). He enjoys maintaining a small collection of European sports cars and taking long walks with his two dogs. His dad was a Dartmouth ’33 but due to the Depression had to transfer to University of Chicago because it was cheaper.
Bill Darter III writes, “Since 2010 we’ve split our time between Woodbridge, Virginia, and our retirement villa in Belen, Costa Rica. The villa is in a compound where three of my wife’s sisters also have homes. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to live in a house with its own guard shack. (No guard, just mainly used as a storage area for the gardener who serves the whole compound.) I met my wife junior year while on a Dartmouth foreign study semester in Costa Rica. I returned senior year and marched down the wedding aisle instead of at our graduation. My diploma arrived in a mailing tube.”
Demie Duckworth says, “Eyebrows rise when I introduce myself as Demie but my full name is R. Demarest Duckworth III. My first night at Dartmouth my roommate Doc Farnum and I stayed up late getting to know each other. The Green Book showed Doc as ‘Jim’ and me as ‘Roy.’ We both agreed to use our nicknames. As to being the ‘III,’ the confusion of having two Roy’s when growing up led to the use of my middle name, as shortened, as my moniker. One funny story relates to my law partner of many years, Dick Moore. When a phone call came in asking for ‘Demi’ (she dropped the ‘e’) Moore,’ our secretary was bamboozled as to whom to direct the call.”
Trip Dorkey is still practicing law. He imagines a biography should be “Too Dumb to Quit.” Remarried happily in 2012, he sent two sons to Dartmouth, a daughter to Bowdoin, and a stepdaughter to McGill—six grandkids, all under 5, and two Havanese. He splits his time between New York City and Charleston, South Carolina. Non-work activities include golf, politics, clubs, and societies.
