If you’re reading this on the way to our Santa Fe, New Mexico, mini-reunion September 6-8, I can’t wait to see you there! Jim Beattie and a crew of classmates have planned a great weekend of activities, chatting, chilling, and eating. If you’re interested in coming last minute, we’re headquartered at La Posada de Santa Fe hotel. Our class website, 1976.dartmouth.org, has the details. I’m high on Dartmouth trips, having just returned from our family’s first alumni travel adventure in the Galapagos. Whoa! Besides the mind-boggling critters, turquoise sea, and white sand beaches, the alumni of all ages were a blast. We didn’t know any of the group before the trip but bonded with many, including one of the first female Tuck grads and a gung-ho octogenarian who led the pack in snorkeling with sea lions and early morning beach yoga. The huge bonus was history professor Darrin McMahon and his wife, Courtney, who were brilliant, personable, and closer to our kids’ ages than ours, providing great company for all. We’re already planning our next trip. Can’t decide between northern lights, Bhutan, Vietnam, Canadian Rockies, or the Paris African-American history trips!

Another fun Dartmouth project was trying to remember names of classmates who had Dartmouth siblings for a photo essay for this magazine. Here’s who I remember: Michael Aylward, Kipp Barker and Kirk Barker, Carol Vaughan Bemis, Lori Radke Bessette, Cathy Joyce Brennan, Jim Burns, Jeff Colt, John “Goose” Gleason, Rick Hill, Debby Humphrey and Donna Humphrey, Jenny Kemeny, Nancy Kepes Jeton, Pam Kneisel, Sandy Maeck, Steve Melikian, Dan Murphy, Tom Ruegger, Ted Scheu, Beth Howard Wilkens and, of course, the illustrious brother-sister team of John Gile and the late Pam Gile.Both sets of ’76 twins did us proud submitting photos. Let me know if I missed anybody. I promise to print additions. Meanwhile, look for a priceless photo of the pajama-clad Barkers plus classic sibling photos from Tom Ruegger and Michael Aylward in Jim Burns’s next class newsletter. Jim has added a fun feature about “Life’s next chapter” and is inviting all of us to write him at 1976peakbagger@gmail.com with our latest schemes and plans. Don’t miss his and wife Marion’s cross-country sight-seeing adventures (the world’s largest golf tee?! Harold Warp’s Pioneer Village?!) and retired physician Bob Tibolt’s reinvention as a custom mapmaker. Working from his studio and showroom in Las Vegas, Bob says this chapter was inspired by beloved geography professor Van English. His current top sellers are custom travel and honeymoon maps plus prints from his “Great American Cities” series. Michael Shnayerson’s next chapter is the continuation of his literary hit parade with a new book: Boom: Mad Money, Mega Dealers and the Rise of Contemporary Art. Along with his Vanity Fair writing, Michael has managed to research and write seven nonfiction books. This latest examines how a few passionate New York City art dealers created a high-stakes global market for contemporary art. Send your news!
