We got our green on! From hikes, water sports and yoga to presentations by President Kim, professors and our own classmates, reunion was a resounding success. Good weather greeted 900 classmates and guests. To those of you who couldn’t make it—we missed you, and would love to see you in five years (or less—at mini-reunions). Extended news of classmates is now on www.dartmouth86.org. We’ll resume snippets here next issue. Until then: At this writing, there are 108 pictures on the Dartmouth 1986 Facebook page at www.facebook.com/Dart86#!/Dart86?sk=photos. Go there!


But if you are anti-technology, our 25th reunion in brief:


Near-record attendance for a 25th reunion (second time);


No arrests.


And compared with our other reunions we consumed less beer, produced more sweat (on dance floor; this was not an intimate scientific survey) and made far better karaoke harmony.


Geoff Parker and his reunion team did a fantastic job. Nine hundred of us thank you!


We raised more than $3,000,000 for the Alumni Fund, and the class of 1986 has a 53.2-percent participation rate. (This too might be record-breaking. Stay tuned.) Huge thanks to Sam Zales, his team of class agents and those who contributed. Another note of thanks to Jeff Weiss, outgoing president, and Bruce Chafee, outgoing vice president, for their outstanding leadership through the past five years. A hearty welcome to Kendall Burney Wilson, our new class president. She will be joined by Jenny Plath, vice president for class projects, and Krista Thomas Corr, vice president for mini-reunions. Davida and I will continue as co-secretaries. Andrea Lordan continues as treasurer.  


If you did not submit a page to the reunion book, there is still time! Go to www.dartmouth86.com/reunion-book/please-submit-materials-to-the-reunion…. We attended a very special place; help Dartmouth and us live on energetically!
