Class Note 1982
In January, as all eyes turned to Washington, D.C., for President Obama’s inauguration, Jenny Chandler Hauge organized a post-inauguration event at her husband’s law firm. Attendees included Jenny, Cathy Judd-Stein, Carol Davis Fiske, Kathy Boak Dubishar, Philippa Guthrie, Kate McKee Fox, Matt Yee, John King, Anne Higgs Morin, Ted Trabue, Robin Shaffert and Cathy Green Solomon.
A few days later Cathy Green Solomon (who almost literally keeps the White House running) invited all ’82s to a bowling party at the White House bowling lanes. I am not sure if anyone bowled a 300, but participants included Cathy, John King, Sally Adnopoz Gendler, Matt Yee, Rich Phipps, Margaret Spring, Anne Higgs Morin, Kathy Boak Dubishar and Robin Shaffert. Thank you, Cathy, for organizing this wonderful event!
John Idzik has been named the general manager of the New York Jets. I think that is a football team. John’s father was an assistant coach for the Jets 35 years ago. John is the shining example of the student athlete, playing football at Dartmouth and graduating Phi Beta Kappa. I think I see a mini reunion at Met-Life Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, this fall!
John Henderson is still living in Thailand, but has moved from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. He writes: “Filling my days with volunteering, hiking, reading, writing and occasional trips down south to see my mother-in-law. Chiang Mai is an especially pleasant place for a foreigner with only moderate Thai who likes to hear the occasional concert or attend the occasional talk.” John met up with Matt Yee down in Phuket when Matt’s cruise ship docked there. I had lunch with John in Bangkok a few years ago at a neighborhood restaurant where no one spoke English. He then took us on a tour of some of the local food carts. I did not eat any worms or insects.
Todd Audsley is an architect in Batavia, New York, between Rochester and Buffalo. His firm is called smartDesign and provides a host of services, including residential design (new homes and additions), adaptive re-use of existing buildings and interior design, both commercial and residential. Todd hopes to move into developing his own projects. Classmates who can provide capital for such projects should contact him!
Peter Heller has written another book, The Dog Stars, which has gotten stellar reviews. A client of mine recently gave me a copy without knowing that we were classmates. Synchronicity at work!
Ron Holman is an attorney at a law firm in Cleveland, Ohio, where he specializes in employment law and commercial litigation. He has served as treasurer of the Dartmouth Club of Cleveland and as board chair of several local nonprofit organizations. While in Los Angeles in November Ron had dinner at the restaurant that is in the base of my office building.
Finally, while in Hanover in February, I had lunch with Noah Bond ’13, one of our current Upper Valley Social Entrepreneurship fellows who is helping to improve the lives of homeless individuals and families in the Upper Valley. Happy spring!
