Bob Cushman wrote back in March, “In a recent visit to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, I got to stay with both Pam and Rod Morgan, who live there full time, and Mitch Wallerstein and his wife, Susan Perlick, who have a second home there. Got to go snow-cat skiing with Rod, who owns a private cat together with a group of local guys.” Bob Olson writes, “After our 40th reunion a number of life’s milestones have ensued. The eldest of four children, Rob (Penn ’00), has sired two daughters and negotiates for the Maine Educational Association in Portland. Our three other children work in Princeton, New Jersey. I have just completed two-year coterminous presidencies of the N.J. Society of the Sons of the American Revolution and the N.J. Society of Surgeons. My ongoing vocation as a reconstructive plastic surgeon in New Brunswick continues in clinical, teaching and research at Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Sailing is my current extracurricular activity besides church and nongovernmental organizations.” Roger Rochlen writes, “My wife, Carol, and I live in San Anselmo, California, where I work for CVS. Our son, Beowulf, is managing editor of Epic Times, a news website. He and his wife have provided us with two granddaughters. Our son, Godric, has decided to use the G.I. Bill from his Marine Corps service to go back to school and will be attending UCLA in the fall.” Dick Wooster, who organizes this event, writes, “We had our annual class dinner on May 11 at the Yale Club in New York City. A good time was had by all, with the following attendees: John Colangelo, Greg Fell, Pete Ruegger, Tom Jackson, Tony FitzPatrick, Thorn Jenness, Bill Kennedy, Carl Layton, Mike Maynard, Jeff McElnea, Tom McGuane, Rob Olson and friend Irene, Peter Pratt, Janet Rosa, Bernie Wysocki and John and Martha Shanahan.”

As most of you know our class projects are now funded by class dues (which formerly went to our alumni magazine subscriptions), and we currently have a number of great projects. We fund internships through the Rockefeller Center and through the Dartmouth Center for Public Service. Funding these internships also provides opportunities for us to help mentor these young student interns. Last year Michael Fay mentored a student in the Boston area for a 10-week internship. This year Ron Olsen mentored Angela Noppenberger ’17 out in Seattle. Angela was working with the Neighborhood House, a multi-service agency that serves low-income residents in Washington. Ron writes, “What a talented young lady, very focused on a broad education with lots of emphasis on off-campus and international study. Makes me sure I would never have gotten into Dartmouth today! Was it worth it? Absolutely. Would I do it again? Absolutely!” So if you are one who has not paid your class dues, please do so and help us fund these terrific projects and internships. Also, as we head toward our 45th reunion in June, stay connected with your classmates and join our Facebook page through our class website. I hate to end on a sad note, but our good friend George Rountree passed away June 14 after a difficult seven-year battle with early-onset Alzheimer’s.
