Class Note 1982

Issue

Jan - Feb 2014



Your class officers returned to Hanover in September for Class Officers Weekend, which coincided with President Hanlon’s inauguration. Officers attending included Mike Berg, Carol Davis, David Eichman, Peter Feer, Matt Hoffman, Cathy Judd-Stein, Betsy Leggat, David Plekenpol and Robin Shaffert. It is always a treat to return to campus (especially in the fall) and meet current students. We also saw Kevin Peterson and Marty Jacobs who help coordinate our class of 1982 Upper Valley Social Entrepreneurship (UVSE) class project. Kevin set up a meeting with our two current UVSE fellows, Alex Brown ’14 and James Jung ’14, so we could hear about their projects firsthand. Alex is working with the Valley Food and Farm program of Vital Communities and James is helping the Good Neighbor Health Clinic. We have only $30,000 more to raise to fully fund this wonderful program, which is improving the lives of thousands of Upper Valley residents and teaching the students the importance of community engagement. Please join our Facebook group at “Dartmouth ’82 Upper Valley Social Entrepreneurship.”
In October Danny Black helped organize a mini-reunion in New York City in connection with President Hanlon’s visit. Class of ’82s attending included Danny, Tom Daniels, Brian McDonough, Andy Sanford, Glenn Gilliam, Corinne Heyes, Mike Berg and Herb Hardwick. If you can help organize a mini-reunion in your city, please contact me and I will alert our mini-reunion chairs.

Heather Hazle Lambert writes: “I am starting to teach this year—math, which I have never taught before—and coaching robotics at a Jewish Day School in Waltham [Massachusetts]. Lots of fun, but exhausting.” I look forward to seeing Heather in Hanover in February during Club and Group Officers Weekend.
Jay Yisrael Rosenberg has published a new book, Only Good News, and writes: “My book takes the optimistic prophecies of the Hebrew prophets and places them together in one place for the first time.” Currently the book is available only in Hebrew, but a translation is in the works. Jay lives in Jerusalem.
Steve Gleason has embarked on a wonderful Act II: opening a winery in Paso Robles, California. Four Lanterns Winery will open in the spring after the first vintage is bottled. I can already see a California mini-reunion there next year!
John “Hendo” Henderson has moved from Thailand to Myanmar (Burma). He promises an update from Yangon (Rangoon) soon.
Finally, as part of our job as co-secretaries, Robin and I want to reach out and touch as many of you as we can—both with good wishes and words of support when times are tough. To that end, we seek your help. If you hear of a classmate’s celebrations such as a job promotion, marriage or new addition to the family, let us know. Likewise, if you hear of the death of a classmate’s parent or close relative or a serious health issue, please contact us. 
May 2014 be filled with happiness and joy for us all!
