Mark Baldwin writes: “Bill Wright and I did several Pioneer Valley (think Upper Valley, but in Massachusetts) Dartmouth Club events recently. We saw Dartmouth hockey beat UMass this fall, cooked and cleaned at a food bank, and took advantage of a late-winter storm and snowshoed.” Kirk LeCompte shares, “Andrew Getraer is the first winner of the Rutgers Hillel’s Exemplar of Excellence Award, a unique recognition established in his honor for 20 years of extraordinary service to Rutgers Hillel. Under Andrew’s leadership and inspirational vision Rutgers Hillel became the flagship Hillel in the country, establishing new and educational programs including the Rutgers Hillel Center for Israel Engagement, the reform outreach initiative, and health and wellness partnerships with the university. He is largely responsible for bringing the $20-million Eva and Arie Halpern Hillel House to reality and seeding the Wilf Family Campus on which it sits.” Andrew was joined by Kirk LeCompte, Brian Dunham, Dennis Stout, Dan Studnicky ’85, Alex Rossides, Bill Rodgers, Chris Demos-Brown, J.J. Jamieson, and Jean Robertson Getraer ’89. Mike Rich’s update: “I will graduate with a B.S. in forestry from University of Kentucky in May and relocate to Corbin, Kentucky, to work for the Ruffed Grouse Society and American Woodcock Society as the Kentucky all-lands forester working with multiple agencies to restore ruffed grouse habitat.” Government major Mark Greenstein announces that he is running for office again; this time for state senate in Hartford, Connecticut.

Please connect with her prior to the meetings for the next three years. I asked Martha Molumphy Hincks to share her experience as class rep with us, and she wrote: “The Covid challenge was particularly difficult for all students and institutions of learning. Our classmates—especially those with children at Dartmouth—contacted me with thoughtful concerns and ideas about how Dartmouth could be negotiating the pandemic. I also received passionate missives about the loss of our beloved golf course (some of us still hope it could come back) and the athletic teams that were (temporarily) eliminated. Dartmouth folks care deeply about the place and want those who come after us to love it as much as we do!” We appreciate all the hard work as our rep. Dan Katzir says, “I’ve just finished up seven years as CEO of a charter school network in Los Angeles and moved to Palm Springs, California. I’m doing some nonprofit education consulting work while teaching an education leadership course at Stanford Business School this spring and serving on the board of the Milton Hershey School, which runs the largest private K-12 boarding school for low-income kids in the United States and is about to open a set of early childhood centers in Pennsylvania. I’m looking forward to a slower-paced life in the desert after more than 20 years in L.A.” Thank you for taking the time to send me your updates. In beauty.
