Class Note 1972

Issue

May - Jun 2017

Finally, it’s spring! And congratulations are in order for Jack Manning. He was recently inducted into the Montana Indian Athletic Hall of Fame for, among other things, his stellar performance as a cornerback on the Dartmouth football team that had a combined 27-2 record during our time in Hanover. Jack also played rugby for 32 years! After Dartmouth Jack attended Stanford Law and has had a distinguished legal career. He is presently the managing Partner of Dorsey & Whitney’s Missoula, Montana, office. His daughter is in her third year at Stanford Law and his son is a freshman at Sewanee and also plays football.

Dave Monk was in touch from his office at Penn State. Dave has served as the dean of the college of education there for the past 18 years. Prior to that time, he was at Cornell. Dave stays in touch with Mike Sack and Chris Brewster and, as the dean of a major university, has an interesting perspective on how Dartmouth handles alumni relations. Now that should make a great topic of conversation at our next reunion!

Bob Paul checked in for New York City, where he is the general counsel of Rockefeller Group Technology Solutions Inc. He reports that he’s been very active in the American Bar Association’s standing committee on publishing oversight. Looks like retirement may be in the works for Bob at some point in the next six to 18 months and he’s looking forward to doing some editing work for friends who are writers and, more importantly, to doing his own writing. May the muse be with you, Bob!

Bill Schur reports from Chicago that he is working on a legal matter with Hank Hakewill. Hank is semi-retired but continues to consult with a variety of businesses on marketing and financial matters. Hank lives in Wilmette, Illinois, with his wife. Their son Jim, a graduate of St. Lawrence and a former collegiate and professional hockey player, is now an investment advisor at William Blair in Chicago.

Our recent efforts to reach out to those women who were on campus as exchange students during our time in Hanover has been a great success. Our class president, Bill Price, reports that 18 women have enthusiastically accepted our invitation to join the great class of 1972 and they have been officially adopted by us. They are Debbie Farrington, Merrily Gerrish, Mary Scranton, Lisa Berlin Sazer, Sarah Savery Marter, Erica McDonnell, Deborah Elcock, Barbara Yadley, Amy Sabrin, Terry Taylor, Abby Edleson Pollitt, May Swan, Carol Zwick, Diana C. Buckhantz, Pam Seton Lorenzo, Maryann L. Malinconico, Mary MacMillen and Elizabeth Levy.

We look forward to receiving news from each of them in the near future.

Finally, continuing our efforts to locate missing ’72s, here are a few more names for whom we don’t have usable contact information: James Kuhl, William Mailman, Thomas McCarthy, James McDonough, Ted Moody.

Please contact me if you know how to reach any of them. Thanks for your help.

Be well!
