Class Note 1982
Issue
Jul - Aug 2016
I am happy to report that 122 of you participated in our virtual reunion on March 22—the 82nd day of the year—by posting a photo or comment to our class Facebook group describing something that you are passionate about. If you have not read the individual posts, please do so as soon as you finish reading this column! Next year the 82nd day will be March 23 (2017 is not a leap year). If you are not currently a member of our Facebook group (which totals 374 classmates!), please join: “Dartmouth College Class of 1982.” Facebook seems to be the best way for all of us to stay in touch.
Adam Spindell has lived in West Saint Paul, Minnesota, for 20 years. His sons are proud graduates of the University of Wisconsin and Northwestern University, respectively. Adam plays disc golf, which apparently is really Frisbee golf where you toss a specialized Frisbee into a basket hanging from chains. Who knew?
Dominic Sekyere grew up in Ghana and has been spending more time there than at his official residence in Grapevine, Texas. He runs an information technology outsourcing business that focuses on processing payroll for multinational companies.
Lisa Harrison Kender and husband Mike moved from New Jersey to Blacksburg, Virginia, last year. Mike is teaching at Virginia Tech (his alma mater). Lisa writes, “I think we will like it here. It reminds me of New Hampshire, where I grew up, but is more rural.” If you find yourself in southwestern Virginia, contact Lisa.
Grant Davis Reeher has been working at Syracuse University for 24 years. He has taught American politics and democratic theory at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Grant also created and currently hosts and produces a weekly interview-based public affairs radio program. In his free time he enjoys fishing with his son, Davis.
Steve Zilber has a consulting business that focuses on helping companies design new products that meet real customer needs and desires, using a user-centric approach. Steve enjoys practicing martial arts and tai chi and going to movies at the Cleveland Cinematheque. He is also president of the Cleveland Go Club.
Congratulations to two sets of newlyweds. Dianne Vogel Vazquez, now Dianne Vogel Boucher, married Marc Boucher in December. Loved the photos on Facebook, Dianne. Peter Moran and Ingeborg Sacksen ’84 married on March 19 after a brief eight-year courtship. Classmates in attendance included best man Sandy Kelsey and Dave Britton.
Finally, put October 28-30 in your calendars for our joint Homecoming Weekend celebration in Hanover with the great class of 1981. Thanks to Ann MacAffer and Charlie Winslow for helping to coordinate the events, which will include a party at the DOC House on October 29 after the Dartmouth-Harvard football game. Please check our Facebook page for more details. We want to kick off the event with a contest. Who is your favorite member of the class of 1981? Please email me your choice. Next class newsletter to include ’81 and ’82 couples. Hope that you are enjoying the summer!
