Class of ’86 Native Americans at Dartmouth (NAD) Dawn Gourneau Allen, Ray Burns, Andre Cramblit, Heid Erdrich, Mabelle Drake Hueston, Vivian Johnson Korthuis, Joanna Lowry, Herman Nacho and Julia Russ with Angie Erdrich ’87 successfully sponsored a current NAD scholar with their 30th reunion fundraising efforts.

Empty-nesters Andre Cramblit and his wife, Wendy Brown, live in Arcata, California. Their 20-year-old son, Kyle, is a junior math major at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. Andre writes: “After 20 years at Northern California Indian Development Council I have moved to United Indian Health Services as the health promotions and education manager. My five main activities are harm reduction, a needle exchange program, suicide prevention, a state tobacco grant and a federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tobacco grant. I am also in charge of the teen advisory group and a community development group. I am learning a whole new world of medical acronyms, researching and writing grants for health-related programs (please send along any resources you may have) and trying to figure out Windows, having been in a Macintosh environment since our freshman year. I work in the same town I live in so I have been riding my bike to work as weather permits. I also write for Indian Country Today, an online news service. You can go to http://bit.ly/CramblitIndianCountryToday to find out what my wandering mind has inspired me to write (including a piece on our recent reunion). It was good seeing the people I know and very nice to meet new classmates at our 30th.” He can be reached at andre.cramblit@crihb.org or (707) 845-4973.

Maya Wiley is the Henry Cohen Professor of Urban Policy and Management at the Milano School of International Affairs, Management, and Urban Policy and senior vice president for social justice at the New School. She was most recently counsel to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Ned Groves is executive vice president and hospital administrator at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. He and his wife, Deborah Rhodes, are navigating their transition from the Midwest.

Werner Tillinger, M.Div., graduated from the Claremont School of Theology and will be ordained as a minister of First Christian Church Pomona (Disciples of Christ).

You meet classmates in the darnedest places when wearing your Dartmouth gear. My kids and I were rushing to cheer on John Hueston at the Boston Marathon when I heard people yelling, “Mabelle Drake, Mabelle Drake!” It was Neil Maher and Mark Proctor. Now when John is running, I find my way to the same spot to join our Dartmouth friends, and cheer on the runners. We will be there again with cowbells in hand at the base of Heartbreak Hill. Go, Big Green ’86s!
