We’ve restarted the practice of including those Green Cards with class mailings, which encourage you to take a minute for a message about yourself or classmates you’ve been in touch with. I’ve received a few, a huge help for any class secretary, including this note from Joe Cecere in Fort Worth, Texas: “Dottie and I are continuing to enjoy life here in Texas! We often see our children Carl ’99 and Margaret ’01 and David (UTexas grad). Three grandchildren, with another on the way. I am still in my oral and maxillofacial surgery practice, but starting to slow down the pace. I’ve highly enjoyed interviewing prospective Dartmouth students during the past 30 years. The interviews give me great hope for the future of the College and the nation. Have been in touch with Jim Bays, John Howard, Carl Moody, Bill Singer and Steve Goldberg.” From Nels Armstrong, who has left the Hanover Plain for Carrollton, Virginia, after many years service to the College: “Virginia is a lot warmer than New Hampshire. Spent a wonderful few moments with John Orange and his spouse, Elsa, during a recent alumni club event.” Don O’Neill writes, “Much skiing again this winter including several trips to Colorado and again CarniVail in March. Spending many weekends at our Chester, Vermont, place near Okemo. Son Donny (UVM’12) is associate editor of Freeskier Magazine in Colorado, son Max is in ninth grade working hard and running track. Age 64 is less painful than expected.” Speaking of skiing, I understand Randy Wise broke a fibia skiing the back bowls of Vail, Colorado, and will miss CarniVail the first weekend of March. Russ Schleipman in Norwich, Vermont, writes, “I took a couple of bites out of a gelid winter here by traveling to Venice and Cuba for photo shoots. The Garden Telescope venture goes well (www.gardentelescopes.com), with a flurry of activity from the East Coast to British Columbia and Hawaii.” Pat Coghlan in Hereford, Arizona, writes that he spent many years practicing medicine in the Springfield, Massachusetts, area, but left about six years ago for the great American Southwest. “One wife, three kids, three dogs, four grandchildren, 36 years (and counting) internal medicine, two bouts of depression, eight marathons and one 36-foot putt for par on the Old Course at St. Andrews. If you’ve been putting off that colonoscopy, get it done!” Former AmeriCares president and CEO Curt Welling, Tu’77, has joined Tuck as a senior fellow in its center for global business and government and the center for business and society. Mathew Slaughter, associate dean of faculty, said, “Curt’s many accomplishments, both at AmeriCares and earlier in his career in finance, have been broad and long-lasting. Our students will benefit greatly from his experience and insight into leading complex, global organizations.” And finally, some sad news, as we’ve lost another classmate. Peter Harold Bradley died on January 2. Further details in a future obituary. 


Please keep those cards coming!
