With characteristic panache, venture dynamo Cheryl Newman is well into her latest yummy food launch as director of strategy at No Evil Foods, an Asheville, North Carolina, company already winning awards and carried by more than 250 retailers. If her coffee, gelato and Honest Tea ventures are any test, this one’s a winner. And to think it all may have started during those early morning Thayer Hall shifts! After a star-studded career with American Express, Barry Arnold now manages an association of 2,000 realtors in Atlanta. He recently vacationed with his daughters and wife in Central America, where she is fulfilling a dream of teaching English to women in Nicaragua. Kathy Van Weelden, professor emeritus New England College (NEC), retired after 33 years as library director and full professor and quickly joined the ranks of trustee and volunteer at her local library while still helping as college reference librarian at NEC. Once a book lover, always a book lover. Tish O’Connor, who for three decades partnered with husband Dana Levy in their renowned book-production company Perpetua Press, reports that since Dana’s death last year she has been focusing her energy on her admissions counseling company College Consult and reimagining her next chapter. On the Dartmouth admissions front, Elise Erler runs Utah’s alumni interviewing. Maybe she’ll bring us future Olympians from Park City to join our classmate Jeff Shiffrin’s gold and silver medal-winning daughter Mikaela on the podium in 2022. Congrats to Jeff, Mikaela and family! Extra shoutout to Mel Treadway, whose son, Will (nephew of our esteemed classmate Jeff Colt), pitched in with Mikaela’s pre-Olympic training in Europe and elsewhere. Back at Dartmouth, another proud dad, Paul Cane, cheered his son, Paul ’19, and daughter, Katherine ’21, as they competed on the swim team. I recently spotted the name of my old pal, distinguished Massachusetts M.D. John Gandolfo on the ballot for our Naples, Florida, vacation community board. Meanwhile, an impressive number of you are hitting the slopes instead of the beach, proving we’re not over the hill but on top of it. I saw pictures or heard ski tales from Craig Stone, Martha and Jim Beattie, Bruce York, Rick Hill, John Lord, Bede Wellford, Beth and Bruce Wilkens, Annie Stockmar Upton, Lynne Brooks, Julie Miner, Cynthia “Inky” Ford, Noel Kropf,Kathy Van Weelden, Adrienne Mally and Jeff Kirchhoff (our able Facebook correspondent during the Olympics). Michael Aylward reports a great effort by his brother, David ’71, and others in that class to track down and recognize exchange students from their era. We’d like to do the same for ’76. Please email me any names of exchanges you remember. We mourn the passing of Ron Shores,remembered by Cabin & Trail friends as a larger-than-life outdoorsman who could carry a canoe up Mount Washington with ease. Our hearts go out to Florentine Thomas and family with the loss of her husband and our cherished classmate, Chet Wood (dartmouthalumnimagazine/obits).
