Class Note 1986
Issue
March-April 2022
Joshua Greenberg, who is VP of government relations at Boston Children’s Hospital, clearly remembers his spring break 1986. “I returned from field research in Sri Lanka for my senior thesis to find we’d been evicted because the landlord wanted to tear down our house to build condos. We fought it in court and won. We lived in a decrepit house for free for three months, and a career in and around civil legal services was born!”
Keith Noyes shares, “After nearly 30 years of living in Hong Kong, my family and I moved in June to Zug, Switzerland, where I have taken up the position of chief risk and compliance officer for the crypto prime brokerage, Covario AG. I met the CEO, Mark Banner ’00, at an Ivy League ball in Hong Kong in 2019. I walk to work every day and have the Swiss Alps as my backdrop for regular trail running and skiing. Life is good. My older daughter, Kaya, competes for the local kantonal swim team and my younger daughter, Luka, just made both the school and local ski racing teams (thank our yearly holidays in Whistler for this). Due to Covid there haven’t been any Dartmouth alumni gatherings, but I have been able to meet up with Kevin Lane ’83, who was a Chinese language drill instructor my freshman year.”
Andre Cramblit writes, “I celebrated my five-year work anniversary. I am the cultural specialist for United Indian Health Services, an inter-tribal health clinic. I want to give a shout-out to classmate Mark Weiss,who made a generous donation to our clinic. His gift is much appreciated. I serve on the board of trustees of the California Indian Legal Services along with classmate John Hueston.”
Dan Kollmorgen shares, “After nearly 25 years as surgical oncologist, educator, and cancer center administrator in Des Moines, Iowa, I’ve accepted a long-term locum tenens position as an acute care surgeon in Bozeman, Montana, starting in January. It’s been fun to dust off some old skills and learn some new tricks. It may evolve into a long-term position or may just be a gap year!” Marion Halliday dropped new music in January. She writes on Instagram: “The January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was an expression of the worst kind of love. This song, which drops on January 6, reflects on this dichotomy—when love becomes so distorted it actually becomes the opposite of love. Don’t we all hate that kind of love?” Visit her at www.marionhalliday.com.
We have now read four memoirs with Liz Babb. Check your emails for the Zoom link and for a great way to reconnect with classmates and meet new ones. I am so proud of Heid E. Erdrich,who is the author of seven collections of poetry and a nonfiction Indigenous foods memoir and editor of two anthologies. Her latest, Little Big Bully, is available signed only at www.birchbarkbooks.com. Little Big Bully is winner of the 2020 Balcones Prize.
