Class Note 1979
Issue
At a Dartmouth club function on December 14 in Chatham, New Jersey, I got to hear (and sing with) the Aires. They gave a great concert. My younger son, an ’11, had just gotten home from fall term and joined me at the party, where he discussed life at the College with prospective students and newly accepted members of the class of 2014 as well. I saw Gina Inguaggiato Maguire there; she organized the event and is a district enrollment director for Dartmouth. Gina married in 1991 and has three children—a son who is 16 and daughters who are 12 and 10. Gina reinvented herself recently and has been an oncology nurse for the past three years.
I heard from Bob Glicini and his wife, his high school sweetheart, Paula. Bob is a surgeon in Pennsylvania and he and Paula have four children. Bob was their scoutmaster for seven years. David goes to Penn State, Diana graduated from Ithaca College and is now in a doctoral program there, Michael is a junior at Ithaca and Matthew is a sophomore at Susquehanna. In their holiday letter I got a great photo of the whole family at the summit of Mt. Katahdin in Maine. I also learned that Bob and Paula saw Scott Filler (Bob’s Dartmouth roommate) and his wife, Bett, in San Diego in April.
I also heard from Bill Newell, who lives with his wife, Carla, and their three sons in Piedmont, California. Robbie is 17, Danny is 15 and Andrew is 10. Bill had practiced law for 15 years, then started working in the biotechnology industry. After moving back to California from Vancouver he was the president of Aerovance for two years. Bill is currently the CEO of Sutro Biopharma.
Congratulations are in order! The Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents selected Dr. David Title as Connecticut’s Superintendent of the Year for 2010. Dave is the superintendent of the Bloomfield public schools and was chosen because of “the exemplary leadership that he has given to the Bloomfield schools, particularly in the areas of providing high-quality learning experiences for students from diverse backgrounds, providing modern and efficient school facilities for the children of Bloomfield and leading successful efforts to improve the learning of Bloomfield’s children.” After Dartmouth Dave earned his master’s from the University of Massachusetts and his doctorate in educational administration from Harvard University. He and his wife, Laurie, have four children.
I am so sorry to report that Gary W. Davis died on July 17. Gary was a school administrator in Pennsylvania. Our heart goes out to his wife, Deborah, and their two sons, two daughters, daughter-in-law and the rest of Gary’s family. As some of you may know the Alumni Magazine will not be publishing obituaries in the magazine for the time being. Instead, obituaries will appear on the magazine’s new Web site. This change will allow classmates and others to post their remembrances via an online commenting feature.
