Class Note 1972
Issue
March - April 2024
Dear ’72s, Fred Crossman wrote that Charlie Janes recently wrote a historical novel The Messiah Prophecy Murders, has a second book in the works, and has been contacted about a possible movie. Fred visited with Charlie, Frank Mannarino, and Wayne Young last June at a Dartmouth baseball reunion celebrating the ’70 team that made it to the College World Series. Absent was Pete Broberg, our star pitcher. Fred also had a long talk with Norman Cohen, who was in Norway. Fred reported that he did not see Bill Schur, Jon Einsidler, Mike Sacks, Andy Cassel, Dick Greenberg, or Ed Wisneski.
Demetry Papadopoulos reported that his daughter, Marie, was married in Charleston, South Carolina, in October. Kirk Andrus was there, just off a Buddhist silent retreat. Kirk told me I wouldn’t last three days without speaking and had to confess he was correct.
David Kreps has written a book called Arguing About Tastes, modeling how context and experience changes economic preferences. David illustrates the power of intrinsic motivation and shows why extrinsic incentives can be influenced.
Rob Amler, of the New York Medical School, sent a personal remembrance of the inspirational Rosalyn Carter, recently deceased, and her interest in research around suicide and mental and emotional problems and other social determinants of health.
Chip Carstensen sent a picture of daughter Haley ’11 in Mexico City, where she ran into my daughter, Amanda ’06. Around the girdled earth!
There’s a change in the dates of our Naples, Florida, mini-reunion: March 18, 19, and 20 instead of 21-23. Jim Rager ’71 is including ’70s-’72s in the festivities and needed more space to accommodate the three classes, so the joint dinner will be Tuesday, March 19. David Friend will host our class dinner at the Treviso Bay Club on Monday, and I have reserved a French cafe for dinner on Wednesday. There will be boat rides and other activities as well as time to explore Naples.
Happy New Year.
