Class Note 1971
Issue
Greetings to all of you (soon-to-be) 60-year-olds.
The Vail, Colorado, mini-reunion at CarniVail 2009 exceeded all expectations. More than 200 members of the Dartmouth family attended. Chris Jarnot, chief operating officer of Vail Mountain, was presented with a profile of ski industry legend “Sarge” Bill Brown, a man who gained fame in ski racing and the U.S. Army and at Dartmouth and Vail. The profile will be included in a book on the amazing impact of Dartmouth College on the ski industry since the 19th century, Passion for Skiing (our class voted to donate some money to this Dartmouth skiing history project).
Wayne Hobin reported that he fractured his wrist on the first day of skiing at Stowe, Vermont (I’m sure it couldn’t have been the icy conditions), in January. There are now 1,002 ways to use duct tape, as it kept him skiing for the next four days!
Sam Cuddeback sent this news from the San Francisco dinner. John Eaton has been working for nine years with Next Bus on municipal transportation systems. Willie Bogan recently joined healthcare powerhouse McKesson Corp. Anthony Sandberg is at Berkeley Marina with his adventure company and recently hosted the Dartmouth Aires when they toured the Bay Area. Dick Wenzel introduced former President Wright to the Dartmouth club gathering in San Francisco and continues to lead a very active club. Gary Cook is actively retired and thinking of celebrating his upcoming 60th with a three-day journey from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney (lowest to highest points in the contiguous United States). Albert Lamarre is retired, looking very healthy and relaxed.
Greg Fell sent this news from the New York dinner. The dinner attendance was slightly down from previous years, but the enthusiasm was higher. Proof of the economy turning around was supplied by Mike Hannigan, who had to leave after cocktails to celebrate closing a big deal at his law firm, King and Spaulding. There were a number of discussions about how to celebrate our 60th, including Pete Webster’s research about a potential winter long weekend in Yellowstone to celebrate our 60th year.
Jack Burnett reports that he ran into John Emerson of Milford, New Hampshire, in the local village store, where he was manning the counter on a Sunday—his hobby job. John will be retiring this year after 25 years as a public school math teacher, and he has already been recruited to be a prep school one-on-one tutor next year. Jack and his wife, Diane, welcomed their first two grandchildren this year. They are still living in the quaint little New Hampshire village of West Peterborough with their 15-year-old son Christopher, who breeds poison dart frogs in his bedroom (as well as the fruit flies to feed them). Diane is a middle school special education aide and budding golfer. Jack is still an editor of The Old Farmer’s Almanac and the executive director of a regional chamber of commerce in southern New Hampshire and also has an editorial services business.
