Class Note 1985

So, “who dat say they gonna be in Hanover in June?”
Reunion tri-chairs Todd Cranford, Mimi Reilly Eldridge and Joe Riley are hard at work with the committee organizing our June 17-20 events. Start making your plans to join the celebration with old classmates and meet new ones. We are hoping for a return visit by classmates John Rubin, Joyce Sackey and Jennifer Root Mayer, who gathered just last fall in Hanover to commemorate their 20th Dartmouth Medical School reunion. John is an associate professor of emergency medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee and Joyce is the dean for multicultural affairs and global health at Tufts University School of Medicine. This update comes from Jen, who, after six years at Yale-New Haven Hospital completing her pediatrics residency and fellowship in pediatric hematology-oncology, moved in 1995 with her husband, Peter (DMS’87), to Sarasota, Florida, where they currently reside with three children, two dogs, two to seven hamsters (variable lifespan/procreation issues), pet tree frog and innumerable dinosaur fossils. Oldest daughter Jillian will be joining the Dartmouth class of 2014 this September, along with Andrew Roberts, eldest son of fellow Florida resident Laura Hicks Roberts.
Mark Caron, Ed Simpson and Harry Bourque are each residing these days in Ridgewood, New Jersey. They have, we hope by now, succeeded at digging themselves out of the latest winter snowstorm blast and will venture north to the Hanover Plain. When not molding future Dartmouth rugby players through the local program he and Ed started about six years ago or coaching lacrosse alongside Harry, Mark is still immersed in the chaotic world of wireless start-ups. Check out his latest: www.mysnacs.com.
After 24 years in business and management consulting at Anderson Consulting and Fidelity Investments Peggy Zink was named president of Cincinnati Works, a privately funded, nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating poverty in the community. The goal is to assist people in becoming economically self-sufficient by offering programs to assist in employment search, job retention and advancement. The model has been very successful and is being replicated in a variety of cities across the country under Peggy’s steady hand.
I have discovered one good thing about Green Cards—brevity. However, it appears as though Shelley Leavitt Nadel, despite her many days co-authoring this column, has forgotten that we do have a word limit. But by submitting an electronic update it is impossible to run out of space. So I will have to provide the Cliff’s Notes version for you here (come to reunion to hear the unabridged details): “David and I are about to celebrate 18 years of marriage and we are still in Houston. When I’m not dealing with our three kids with multiple activities, a husband who travels overseas and my more than full-time job I sing in two choirs. The singing is something I do for me and it heals my soul (and I’m pretty good at it!).”
Will those fun boys from Isidore Newman School—Darren Alcus, Rob Clements, Steve Favrot and Mike Smith—be in Hanover, strutting their New Orleans pride? Hope so! Come reminisce about freshman trip (Darren, are you still carrying that can of garbanzo beans?), freshman dorm (Mike, Ripley-Woodward-Smith dorms are still connected through the bathrooms!) and FSPs (Steve, what was the name of our Dartmouth professor in Toulouse?). And, Rob, sorry, we cannot reminisce. You are the one Newman boy of the quartet I never encountered while at Dartmouth. So I hope to meet you under the tent in June!
Now “who dat say they gonna be in Hanover in June?”
I hope you! All the best to all of you!
