Getting ready for our 44th reunion? Mark your calendars for June 16-19. We will join the classes of 1970 and 1971. Details from the College and from Fuzzy Thurston went out late in 2015 but email me with any questions. Hope to see you there!

Among those who will attend our 44th is Dennis Cullen, the “fire-ballin’ right-hander.” “I missed the last reunion because I was headed for the Olympics in London and figured one big trip was enough. This is my 40th year teaching math at Durham Academy. I coached cross country and track for the first 39, but gave that up last spring. After Dartmouth I spent a year getting a master’s and then three years of math at Blair Academy in New Jersey. I moved to Durham, North Carolina, in 1976. The family is great. Kevin was married to a great woman in summer 2011. They live in Durham, so it is great to see them often. Two and a half years ago I strained a ligament at the base of my spine just bending over. The doctor gave me some exercises and told me it would be slow to heal. It is partially better, but not completely. I can do just about everything with no pain, but not golf, so the swing has deteriorated for sure.”

More longevity from David Kreps: “It’s my 41st year with Stanford” at the business school.

Gary “Dico” Dicovitsky reports that, “Joe Leslie is retiring from his football coaching position at Brown University after 11 years of service there.”

You have to get from Barry Abbott a copy of his book, Grandpa Skypes Baby Ben. Barry’s funny and warm book richly illustrates how he first connected using Skype from his former home in San Francisco “on the edge of the continent” with his first grandson, Ben, in Rye, New York. I loved it when he shows Ben standing on his parents’ chair staring at the screen and wondering, “How does this man know my name?” Barry then takes us on a travelogue to the Bronx Zoo, the top of the Empire State Building, Yankee Stadium and all over San Francisco.

Lori and I had a wonderful evening with Linda and Dan Cooperman near Stanford, California, at the Rosewood Hotel, where we stayed before seeing Lori’s mom in nearby Sacramento for Christmas. Dan says that he is semi-retired after serving as senior vice president, general counsel and secretary for Oracle and Apple, but he certainly is busy as chairman of the board at Second Harvest Food Bank, “the nation’s fifth largest,” distinguished visiting lecturer in law and fellow at the Rock Center for Corporate Governance at the Stanford Law School and Graduate School of Business (where he got his J.D. and M.B.A. right after Dartmouth) and a lot more! We saw each other at the Rose Bowl, where Stanford (also my M.B.A.) and Iowa (my wife’s master’s and Linda’s rival when she got her master’s at Wisconsin) played for the first time.

Happy New Year to you and yours!
