Class Note 1980

Issue

Sept - Oct 2011

If you happen across the Green in a few weeks you will happen across some familiar faces. Fifteen sons and daughters of ’80s will matriculate as ’15s. Among them children of Brian Boyer (Reed), Scott Osman (Andrew), Bill Helman (William), Steve Bullock (Janelle), Stu Bell (Cody), Michael Dula (Walker), Liz and Burr ’79 Gray (Rachel), John Mahoney (Kathleen), Tim and Margaret Pillsbury (Andrew), Anne and Colin ’82 McNay (James)and Bob and Su-Moon ’81 Brown (Chet).


Mike and Jeanne Lynch were pleasantly surprised that daughter Haylely chose Dartmouth without much prodding from the ’rents. Hayley played four years of field hockey, but expects to focus on a cappella and jazz music in college. She is interested in studying science. Another Dr. Lynch, of course, would be most welcome. Mike, as fit last reunion as when he wore No. 47, continues to practice orthopedic surgery in Connecticut. 


Ben Zuraw’sdaughter Lane will be joining sister Lucy on campus. Lane played field hockey in high school and aims to study history. Lucy, a history major who went to Mexico on LSA and London on FSP, is writing her senior honors thesis this fall on British law in colonial India. His former corporate law gig now a distant memory, Ben is celebrating 10 years of teaching civics at Greensboro Day School in North Carolina. 


Catherine, Jeff Baker’s youngest, follows in the footsteps of sister Allison ’09. Her older brother is a senior at Brown. Catherine has an interest in medicine and plans on playing club hockey. Jeff is a hematologist-oncologist in Connecticut. He served as a doctor for 10 years in the U.S. Army before entering private practice. Jeff married Marie (Middlebury ’82) in 1984. She now teaches English at a local university. Jeff noted that it has been 31 years since we played rugby together; see you at the 35th.


Annie, daughter of Holly Raths Hart, will be a sophomore this fall. Blessed with her mother’s infectious smile and love of winter sport, Annie skis cross-country for Dartmouth. She earned Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association Rookie of the Year honors after finishing third at Carnival and fifth in the EISA championships. At the end of spring term Holly, who lives in Minnesota, treated the ski team to breakfast at Lou’s. Holly played hockey at Dartmouth, but caught the cross-country ski bug when her daughter started to compete in high school. Holly now even skijors at the Hart’s Wisconsin cabin. Skijor? Dog pulls skier, who needs to be as athletic as Holly to avoid making snow angels the hard way. 


Undergrads and alums alike enjoy today’s spectacular campus due to the tireless efforts of volunteers such as Mike McClintock. Last spring the College recognized Mike, and two others, with induction into the Stephen F. Mandel ’52 Society for outstanding Dartmouth College Fund leadership. Merle Adelman, Mark Alperin, Alex Frank, Bob Garry, Debbie Leggat, David MacAllaster, Lisa Shanahan and Rob Williams were on hand to honor Mike. Congratulations, Clints!
