Please plan to join our class at Homecoming October 8-9 for a belated 60th birthday bash with fellow ’82s! Among the many reasons to visit Hanover again are our classmates who call the Upper Valley home. Robin Riley Ahrens and her husband, Chris, moved to Thetford, Vermont, in early 2021: “It’s a homecoming as well as a new chapter. I’m lucky to spend time with my sister and college friends (Gray Reisfield Horan and Rich Horan ’76 moved to Hanover this summer) as I explore the area. I’m reaping the benefits of community supported agriculture shares and farm markets, enjoying close encounters with nature (no bears yet), and have learned that the spirit of Dartmouth is the spirit of the Upper Valley.” Sandy Kelsey is on the board of the Children’s Literacy Foundation serving at-risk children in New Hampshire and Vermont; Kevin Peterson and Marty Jacobs have similarly dedicated their professional lives to social impact work in the region. Sherri Carroll Oberg and husband Curt Oberg ’78: “We had a lifelong dream that one day we would return to the Upper Valley. We decided to stop dreaming and start doing. We love the beautiful surroundings filled with people who are active and love the outdoors. The College has an open-door policy for the community so it’s easy to participate in the intellectual life. I love mentoring students and there’s a fresh bunch every year. The arts community has been surprisingly rich, with great theater and music at the Hop, White River Junction [Vermont], and Lebanon [New Hampshire]—short drives, free parking, and up-close exposure to top performers! I was worried that my life would be overly focused on Dartmouth, but I was wrong. I picked up rowing through the Upper Valley Rowing Foundation, where I have met many people who are not affiliated with Dartmouth and who have welcomed me into their community of rowers. Life is good!” Jay Mead and Edie Farwell ’83 have been living in the Hartland-Norwich, Vermont, area since 2001. “This has been a great place to raise kids, make art, teach, and help low-income people with their shelter and access needs.” Doug Tengdin is founder and managing director of World Market Advisors, based in Hanover, where he provides wealth management services when not out hiking in the White Mountains. Barry Schweitzer shares, “Returning to Dartmouth two years ago to join the office of entrepreneurship and technology transfer has been a dream come true. We love the weather, the outdoorsy lifestyle, and the people in the Upper Valley. While we have been fortunate to have ridden out the pandemic in a lovely place such as Quechee [Vermont], I am looking forward to rejoining campus life when the College fully opens this fall.” Peter Moran wins the Most Intriguing LinkedIn Profile Award: “Volunteer, herder, woodworker: [I] provide community service work, support doctor and partner, shepherd teenage daughter, and design and build furniture of wood. [I] also manage investments and help manage household of three people, one dog, one cat, one bird, and one horse.”
