Class Note 1973
Issue
May - Jun 2018
A year from now we will be reuning….
Welcome newly adopted class member Maryann Love Malinconico, another exchange student our junior year.
The Dartmouth Lawyers Association held its annual continuing legal education and ski program at the Resort at Squaw Creek near Lake Tahoe, California, in February and, despite a minimal amount of white powdery snow (or any snow for that matter), there was respectable class representation: Megan and John Goheen and son John III, Cindy Saranec Livermore and Sam Livermore, Richard Merrill and Thea Fabio, Kathleen and Hilary Miller, and your scribe. Sam gave a presentation titled “After the IPO: Now What?”
As I write this column, the Winter Olympics are in progress. The ski jump competition recalls time spent at the bottom of the old golf course ski jump during the 1973 “Through A Frosted Looking Glass” Winter Carnival, marveling at the daring of the jumpers while sensing my feet going numb. Remember the ice castle on the Green?!
In the warm Prachuap Khiri Khan coastal region of Thailand, classmate Varothai “Pat” Suriyong is the director of the Hua Hin Veterinary Hospital.
After 41 years as a litigator at Philadelphia’s Stradley Ronon, Lee Rosengard retired at the end of December. “I had decades of experience trying and settling cases, both as a litigator and as an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provider, and I was an early proponent of ADR. So I promptly founded Rosengard ADR, where I provide neutral services as an arbitrator, mediator and early neutral evaluator (www.rosengard-adr.com). I remain a member of the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution panel of distinguished neutrals and the American Arbitration Association commercial panel. I am also continuing as a lecturer in law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where I teach introduction to U.S. law and legal methods in the master in law program, and at Villanova University School of Law, where I teach interviewing and counseling. Post-retirement is shaping up to be about as busy a time as pre-retirement. It’s wonderful.”
The College has decided not to build residence halls in College Park to house 750 undergraduates, since an engineering study revealed such a complex would be too expensive to build on the rocky ledges.
Although we are 45 years “out” this spring, our reunion will be in June 2019; plan ahead! Since the College will be celebrating its 250th throughout 2019, time in Hanover should not be missed. A functioning email address is critical to class officers and those planning our reunion, so please use Dartmouth’s easy update form. One can now customize the type of messages received. Simply type dartgo.org/update into your browser, fill in current contact information and submit!
Neurologist Jerome Wade died in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in late December after a brief illness. The class extends its condolences to his wife, Leslie Gibbons Wade, and their sons. Also, I have been belatedly advised that Dan Brenner, who matriculated but did not graduate, died in an automobile accident in February 2016. Obituaries can be found at www.dartmouthalumnimagazine.com.
