Class Note 1982

Issue

November-December 2021

The year2021 was a time to reflect on what really matters to each of us. Some ’82s are already retiring, some are heading in new directions, and we are each facing new challenges and taking stock of where we want to be with the time we have left. At the end of July Dan Gaulin wrote:“Some of the best times lately have included ’82s and water. Bruce Randall and I went out on Jon Sadick’s sailboat, which he now moors in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Last weekend Bruce, Mike Berg, and I went out on the Hudson on Jason Klein’s cruiser. Tomorrow I’m going to the ‘WooSox’ game with Jon Sadick. His dad, a WW II vet, will be honored before the game. I am retired and have returned to an old pastime—baseball—in a league for 55-year-olds and up. I can still hit a bit but sometime in the last few decades my arm turned into a pool noodle. I also enjoy making things with the trees in the neighborhood, maple syrup and nocino (black walnut liquor).” David Noonan wrote about turning 61, “The joys of my post-pandemic existence include still having a job but not really working, falling asleep when I should be awake and staying awake when I should be sleeping, maintaining golf mediocrity despite diligent practice, and forgetting everyone’s name at the same time.” Some lucky ’82s are traveling overseas again. Before he wrapped up his law practice of 28 years, my class co-secretary, David Eichman, made it to O’ahu, Hawaii, where he got together with Matt Yee. While they were hiking together Matt and David FaceTimed with Leslie Fleming, who has moved back to O’ahu (from San Francisco) with her husband and is teaching art. Also during the summer, Tom Daniels met up with longtime Parisian resident Alex Blumrosen, and Brian McDonough set out for London to work on the new Peninsula Hotel near Hyde Park. Thinking about traveling to Iceland? Check in with Peter Feer, who traveled there in July to compete with one of his sons in The Rift, a gravel bike race, or ask Dan Gilman to share his photos from his family’s exploration of the “Land of Fire and Ice” with cameras in hand on a Dartmouth Alumni Travel excursion. Keep on exploring and be safe, ’82s! With sadness I must report the deaths of Charles Nierman of Malden, Massachusetts, on June 24, and Jeffrey Given of Lafayette, California, on July 9. A reminder that you can contribute reflections about Chaz and Jeff or submit a tribute for any of our deceased classmates and we’ll publish them on the “In Memoriam” pages of our Class website: www.1982.dartmouth.org.
