Our 35th reunion is virtual this year. Let’s celebrate, “It’s So Easy Being Green,” together via Zoom on the weekend of Friday, June 18. If you sign up for at least two events, you will be eligible to win a large Simon Pearce Hanover bowl with our reunion logo on it. I cannot thank our reunion committee enough for persevering through our many Zoom calls, in addition to their own jobs and obligations, to create a fun virtual reunion. Thank you to all who have completed our 35th reunion book digital survey at 1986.dartmouth.org. I look forward to the comparison with the 25th reunion book, which is also on the class website. Thank you to Sue Smith Sambrook, Rachel Levy Lombora, Harry Carrel, Mike Teague, and Brad Mencher for a successful April 5 class get-together on Zoom. I am sad to report that we have lost another dear classmate, Alison Hines. Please find her obituary on our class website. On a happier note, it is with great pride that I can share that Maya Wiley is running for mayor of New York City; she was profiled in the March issue of Dartmouth Alumni Magazine. Please join many of our classmates who support her candidacy: https://mayawileyformayor.com. See the intriguing article about Alex Tait and his mapping of Mount Everest for National Geographic. In Manhattan, Karin Bravin curated Re:Growth: A Celebration of Art, Riverside Park, and the New York Spirit, which shows from June 5 through the summer. Visit https://riversideparknyc.org for all the details. David Kotz has been named a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery, the world’s largest and most prestigious association of computing professionals. Congratulations! Mark Baldwin writes: “Best book lately: Boys in the Boat. It confirmed that rowers are crazy, but in a good way! I miss going out to eat and attending live sports. I especially miss my daughter’s college field hockey and lacrosse games. I played baseball (badly!) at Dartmouth, but I had fun, learned a lot, and I’ve been fortunate enough to coach high school baseball for more than 25 years!” Mark Weiss has read Rachel Kushner’s Hard Times. He writes, “Kushner is the daughter of Peter Kushner ’60. Her godfather was Alden Van Buskirk ’60, Dartmouth’s answer to Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. She also wrote the afterward to a new edition of a book by David Rattray ’85.” I love food and I have become a better cook through the years, so I am majorly drawn to John Gannon’s Facebook videos on cocktails, wines, recipes, and cooking accoutrements. I hope you join me in watching his many posts on all things regarding food: www.facebook.com/john.c.gannon. Thanks to Covid-19 and 2020, I have not read one book, but became an avid New York Times reader. I also became addicted to Korean movies and TV shows on Netflix, eaten way too much Korean takeaway food, and bought jewelry online worn by Korean drama actors. After all that, I still don’t speak Korean or like K-pop.
