Fifteen years of columns by the undersigned with this issue!
Paul Johnson reported that Memorial Day Weekend provided the occasion for a micro-reunion in Chicago of Brown Hall and Alpha Theta compadres: himself, Harrison Marks and Ray Gottesfeld, “along with their better halves, respectively: Donna, Suzie and Sherri. Great times in the Windy City!” Harrison sold his home in New Bern, North Carolina, and moved onto his sailboat, so rumor has it he may have ventured to Bahamas in the fall and may turn up somewhere near Maine this coming spring. He is best reached at sailingmarks@gmail.com. Paul is interested in seeing how many ’73s he can talk into celebrating the 50th anniversary of Freshman Week in the fall of ’19. Paul can be reached at phjdart73@gmail.com.
This summer, as in years past, Fred Haas and his wife, Sabrina, conducted a very popular jazz camp in Woodstock, Vermont. Interplay Jazz and Arts is a holistic learning experience for musicians and artists of all ages and levels to explore and develop their art, creativity and confidence. Fred, who serves as distinguished senior lecturer in the College’s music department, has influenced and taught many members of the Dartmouth community. Check out https://interplayjazzandarts.org. Nils Johnson studied with Fred; when Nils is visiting his place in Lyme, New Hampshire, he can be found at the Lyme Inn, where he provides great piano background for dinner guests. Beware! Reportedly, if you stay over through Sunday morning Nils will recruit you (talent or not) into singing with the choir at the Lyme Congregational Church.
Recently adopted class members include exchange students Ann Tarbox Birchall and Rochelle Cabot. Welcome!
Tom Waggoner currently is with Community Solar Partners, an Arkansas mutual benefit corporation formed to develop community solar gardens and related financing for solar panel owners who wish to avail themselves of state net metering regulations to reduce their carbon footprints and save money on utility bills.
At the end of 2016 Brad Sande joined the ranks of the retired from his position as development director for New Directions Youth and Family Services, a collection of youth agencies running community residential and detention programs. Brad continues his position as secretary on the board of directors for the Salamanca Public Library. Salamanca is the only city in the United States almost completely on an Indian reservation. Allegany State Park, New York’s largest, lies immediately to the south.
Noteworthy article in the August 2 issue of Forbes: “2017 Grateful Grads Index: Top 200 Best Loved Colleges,” ranking Dartmouth No. 1. This year 46 percent of classmates participated in the annual fund drive.
Dartmouth plays Brown at Fenway Park on Friday, November 10, at 8 p.m. in a nationally televised game. Flashback: Our senior year Dartmouth clobbered Brown 49-20. It was only 30 degrees by game time in Hanover that day, and although we got off to a rocky start with two fumbles in the first quarter, Steve Stetson orchestrated a five-touchdown second quarter. Chuck Thomas scored twice that day and Steve once.
