Class Note 1979
Issue
For breaking news, Chip Debelius sent word to one of our classmates that he and Patrice Perlman celebrated Valentine’s Day by eloping! I’m hoping to have details for the next column.
Even though the Winter Olympics will be over by the time you read this column—in fact, they’ll be over by the time I submit it—you should know that Scott Blackmun was named CEO of the U.S. Olympic Committee on January 6 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, at the Olympic Training Center. Scott, a Colorado Springs attorney, is returning to the committee where he worked as general counsel, then senior managing director and later as interim CEO from 1998 through 2001. He officially took over on January 26 and was scheduled to be in place for the start of the Vancouver Olympics on February 12.
Sam Seymour has been nominated president of the New York City Bar Association. The election will take place at the city Bar’s annual meeting on May 18. Sam is a partner at Sullivan & Cromwell, where he concentrates on white-collar criminal defense, regulatory enforcement matters and internal investigations. Sam served as an assistant U.S. attorney and deputy chief appellate attorney in the southern district of New York from 1988 to 1991.
The governor of North Dakota, John Hoeven, has decided to run for that state’s newly open Senate seat, vacated when Senator Byron Dorgan retired. John was elected governor in 2000 and has been re-elected twice.
Jennifer Hughes is currently serving as our class steward and her new e-mail address is tojhughes@gmail.com. Please let her know if you become aware of a classmate she should contact. Her job description is to “increase class connections by sending both congratulations and condolences to classmates.”
I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of classmates who have (or have had) children attend Dartmouth. I have learned a lot by speaking with classmates or their offspring about this parent-child link to the College. Spurred on by my sons’ (Drew ’08, Owen ’11) constant discussions of, references to and stories about Dartmouth I’ve had plenty of time to reminisce—and to become the butt of many of their inside jokes. (Did you know that the ’02 room is now called the 1902 room? Makes sense.) So please reach out and compare notes with your loyal sons and daughters. Then let me know what you find out. Lest the old traditions fail.
If this magazine happens to reach you before April 7 please remember to cast your ballot; there are two vacancies on the Dartmouth board of trustees. Voting began March 10 and continues through April 7.
I am so sorry to report that the youngest child of Ed Heilbron and his wife Deirdre, Joseph Kelly Heilbron, passed away unexpectedly on January 2. He was 11 years old and the youngest of six sons. The family lives in West Newton, Massachusetts. Our hearts go out to Ed and Deirdre, as well as to their sons Ted, Robbie, John, Sam and Phillip.
