Class Note 1986
Issue
May - Jun 2019
Not only has Liz McClintock served as a Dartmouth Partnership in Community Service mentor twice, but she has also hosted a Burundian journalist who is in exile from his home and navigating the U.S. asylum process. I stole this summary from her application to be a mentor. Liz, you do so much for others. I want to acknowledge it. Janet Quigley Clay continues to serve as our class alumni councilor, so continue to send her a question, a kind word, a suggestion that she can deliver to faculty, trustees, and administrators in their meetings (jclay37@gmail.com). San Diego-based litigation attorney Jonathan Singer of Fish & Richardson was named the 2018 Life Sciences MVP of the year by Law360 for the third time. Sam Zales, chief operating officer at CarGurus, announced its U.K. expansion through the purchase of motoring website PistonHeads.com. Thank you to David Kotz, who shared the green-lighting of the Saraswati Temple in Hampi, India. He writes, “Saraswati is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, art, wisdom, and learning, so it seemed appropriate.” I wanted to know which alum might live the farthest from Dartmouth, and David nominated Keith Noyes in Hong Kong. I estimate that he lives 7,847 miles from Hanover. Keith confirmed the estimate, and also sent a photo of his family skiing in Japan for the holidays. Gary Johnson took up my Haiku challenge: “Teach high school seniors, physics with much algebra, they all go to sleep.” I received a wonderful note from Chris (Demos) Brown, who listened with his daughters to my daughter, Shea, interview me about Navajo culture, called Kinaalda. Don’t miss his photos and the update on his successful Broadway play, American Son, in our class newsletter. Peter Arnold writes, “There was a huge ’86 turnout at the U.S. Supreme Court for the recent 200th anniversary re-argument of Dartmouth v. Woodward: Julie Mannes, Greg Mott, Heather Sawyer, Chris Lord, Beth Robinson, and yours truly.” John Hueston argued Nutraceutical v. Lambert in front of the U.S. Supreme Court in November 2018. He was hoping that Justice Ginsberg would ask him a question, which she did. He was so thrilled to say her name and answer her. Eight of the nine justices asked him questions, which was a high point. In attendance were Seth Hendon and his daughter, who is a sophomore at Dartmouth. John just learned that he won in a unanimous decision. Mark Weiss writes: “After 53 years of bachelorhood, I married Terry Acebo Davis, the artist; we came to 2011 reunion. So now I say the three great privileges of my life are Dartmouth, Palo Alto Unified School District public schools, my wife.” Join me in congratulating Jayne Daigle, who was honored by the College at the Ivy League Basketball Tournaments’ Ivy Madness.
