Class Note 1981
Issue
Jan - Feb 2016
Straddling the good vibration moments of the recent reunion and the Thanksgiving through Christmas holidays, I see you for what you are collectively: brilliant, joyous, fun and enriching. We are blessed to have each other, to connect soulfully around the resplendent memories of polychromatic fall foliage, the crispness of an early morning dip in the Connecticut River, the invigoration of a rapid descent on crusty snow and now in new ways, after we have returned from afar. Yes, you do motivate still.
From the region of form and function, James Rill has found his stride with award-winning architectural projects in the Washington, D.C., area, including masterful renovations. In the category of “as the backs go tearing by,” Interamerica Group’s Jerry Pierce continues to share his talent and vibrant smile rounding up the likes of Mark Brown, Jeff Walters, Tom Duke, Beth Shapiro Lewyckyj, Joe McLaughlin, Howard Morse, Greg Jaeger, Terry Bonus, Martin Weinstein and Fred Koberna for a raucous tailgate prior to the inaugural Dartmouth-Georgetown football game. Glory to Dartmouth is indeed a sweet refrain and also happens to be the modus operandi for Houston, Texas-based Barnes Darwin and his wife, Pam, who seem to be omnipresent at all the momentous on-campus events, sharing spectacular images of the Homecoming bonfire as well as choice shots of the Green from reunion. It is no surprise to any of us that the Johns Hopkins Hospital welcomed our own Robert Higgins as the chairman of surgery, long may he reign. There is no doubt that green machines are flowing at the Pat Berry household after her momentous acceptance of the Dartmouth Alumni Award.
John Sconzo is an outstanding anesthesiologist in Glens Falls, New York, but truth be known he has a serious avocation for fine food and drink, including a blog focused on tricks of preparation and spectacular photographs. The high-end N.Y.C. apartment renovation scene has welcomed Julie Whitney for her innate abilities and aptitude. As of the end of September, the Tony Award-winning musical Jersey Boys surpassed Miss Saigon for the 12th longest running show in Broadway history with original cast member Mark Lotito, who also has credits in television for NYPD Blue and Law & Order. St. Louis, Missouri, native Byron Boston is now living in Virginia, where he is president, CEO and co-chief investment officer for Dynex Capitol. Byron and his son are card-carrying fly fishermen, so the trout of the Dartmouth Grant have been duly warned. In the same vein, the inseparable co-cardiologist pair of Maribeth Hourihan and Thomas Ryan has been bitten by the same fly-fishing bug. L.L. Bean, here we come.
This time of year is for personal reflection and renewal. Let’s reach out and share our collective spirit. Involve yourself in mini-reunions. Veronica and I welcome your input here. I am sad to report that Dana Walsh has passed away in Hawaii.
