Wally Darneille, president and CEO of Plains Cotton Cooperative in Lubbock, Texas, was featured commenting on the future of cotton in several agribusiness articles. Demand for cotton will persist as global population growth continues, he says. Yields will continue to increase “but so will consumption. Long-term, fiber demand will outstrip fiber supply.” He expects global production to increase by 5 to 10 million acres in 2010 and 2011. The U.S. crop could be up 1.4 million.
In June in Moore Theater Pilobolus unveiled the world premiere of Hapless Hooligan in “Still Moving,” the dance troupe’s collaboration with Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novelist Art Spiegelman. Michael Tracy, one of the artistic directors of Pilobolus, was quoted in The New York Times: “Back then Moore was called Center Theater and it was the place we all aspired to perform. At the end of the term I did my first dance performance in Center Theater, and now we’re back with Art Spiegelman.” The performances were dedicated to the late Jonathan Wolken ’71, Pilobolus co-founder and co-artistic director. Later in the summer Pilobolus performed Hapless at the Joyce Theater in New York City.
Brad Sande is the development director for New Directions Youth and Family Services Inc., a private not-for-profit agency located in Randolph, New York, that provides innovative, life-changing programs and services to western New York children in crisis. Brad also serves as president of the Randolph Academy board of education. Randolph Academy is a special acts school that helps students with disabilities graduate with New York State Regents diplomas.
News arrived that Hank Misogiane died on May 16, 2009, at home in Steubenville, Ohio. According to his wife, Cindy, “He always talked happily of his Dartmouth days and the antics of his frat house [Gamma Delta Chi].” After 30 years of service Hank retired from Wierton Steel, then enjoyed watching sports and listening to music. “Each time he read one of his classmates passed away he was deeply saddened. We were married for 28 years, no children, but enjoyed spoiling our 13 nieces and nephews. He is missed!”
Further news arrived that Jonathan Winer died on March 17 at home in Melrose, Massachusetts, after battling leukemia for two and a half years. As a student Jonathan was a lightweight rower for four years; as an adult he was a dedicated runner and a Class A-ranked chess player. Obituaries can be found and remembrances posted online at http://dartmouthalumnimagazine.com/obituaries. The class extends its sympathies to Hank’s wife, Cindy, and to Carolyn, Jonathan’s wife of 35 years, and their son and daughter.
