Class Note 1981
Issue
January-February 2024
The fall foliage season this year in New Hampshire was brilliant at times but desynchronized generally. Rain levels, temperatures, and winds conspired to cause fits and starts to the season most of us enjoyed the most about our time in Hanover. In this context, there was a distinctly unifying and balancing effect from the two acceptance speeches for the class of 1981 awards held at the Hanover Inn on Homecoming Weekend. Marshall Brown took on the Lorax spirit and emphasized “we are our environment’s keeper,” and Lisa Robinson Spader extended the traditional Cherokee tale that “we become which wolf we feed” and “there is a lot of goodness in this world.” It was a coordinated sight for sore eyes or rather the sounds for sore ears. Jenny Kemeny ’76 was there to oversee what her father inspired in us. Congratulations to the awardees and to the insightful committee members. The committee continues to accept nominations for the yearly award and instructions are on the class page.
At the event I met up with Peter Corren,who has moved up to the Hanover region and redirected his career path into property management and looks happy and healthy doing it! Lynnette Eubanks Marshall and her husband, James, braved the torrential rains and the ensuing sloppy mud to enjoy some of J. Tobias Reiley’s famous chili prior to the football game, which Dartmouth won over Columbia. As is customary, Sally Ankeny Reiley, Susan Reed, Julie Koeninger, and others photo documented the event well on the class Facebook page.
Gail Chen has some exciting news about her daughter, who aspires to be involved in MLB player development and operations. Considering the role Buddy Teevens ’79 and Dartmouth had in inclusion of women in professional sports, this is a heart-warming development.
Along those lines, there were many alumni on campus sporting pins that put a twist on the phrase often placed on handwritten notes from Buddy Teevens: “Tx BT.” Of course, Buddy was thanking someone else with his usage, but the message from the pins was “Thank You, Buddy Teevens.” And that is the ripple effect of kindness, hopefulness, and a unifying positive spirit.
Please stay engaged, hopeful, and safe.
