Fellow Soccer Without Borders board member Mike Sack and Sandi attended the play of Dave “Dean” Monk’s wife Pam, “An Evening with Aphrodite, in the N.Y.C. fringe festival near, but off-Broadway—a most clever and creative interpretation of the goddess’s many different suitors and lovers. I certainly wished I had studied more diligently Professor Waite’s Greek and Roman studies class fall term freshman year. Performance was a most impressive soliloquy, artfully delivered by a young actress whom we actually met during a pre-performance meet and greet. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing both Pam and Dave. Dave’s been dean of school of education at Penn State for the past 15 years.” Mike also reported that Dave has four grandchildren, a boy and girl by each of their two children.

Pedaling for a good cause, Wade Judge “biked 100 miles in the 33rd annual Prouty to raise money for cancer research at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center and did so with my brother, Clark ’73, my oldest son, Kyle ’07, and my youngest son, Clark ’12. Money raised by the Prouty supports cancer research and patient services at Norris Cotton Cancer Center, a premier facility that is one of just 40 in the country designated by the National Cancer Institute as a comprehensive cancer center. It’s also the only comprehensive cancer center in northern New England. Research conducted here helps cancer patients not only in the Upper Valley, but all over the world.” Wade is regional chief investment officer, North America, with LaSalle Investment Management.


Wrapping up my educators updates with one from Rob Kefferstan: “After Dartmouth I earned a master of arts in teaching at Harvard Graduate School of Education and soon after started the Ph.D. program in learning disabilities at Northwestern University. I ended up completing the doctorate at West Virginia University (WVU), where my wife is professor of piano. I worked in higher ed computing for 16 years, mostly at West Virginia Network, serving the computing and networking needs of 16 state campuses. I was also interim VP for information technology at WVU. I recently retired as professor of education at Waynesburg University, where I also served as interim dean of undergraduate studies. In February I was elected to the professional advisory board of the Learning Disabilities International Association. Retirement looks good, and I continue as contributing faculty in the Ph.D. program at Walden University.”


My predecessor Duff Cummings “reports” via email reply: “On July 31, 2014, I retired from Dartmouth Safety and Security.” Congrats as you start your next chapter!
