Class Note 1990
Issue
Congratulations to Ernie Young, who married Erin Blondel on September 21, with Andrew Latimer and Derrick Olsen in attendance. Ernie is currently teaching constitutional law at Duke Law School in Durham, North Carolina. David Rosenberg wrote in with some great memories of Winter Carnival our freshman year. “Maybe it was the abundant snow and icy cold temperatures that resulted in amazing ice sculptures (including the Bacchus we built in front of Topliff). Maybe it was the incredible poster depicting a beautiful masked coed in a Dartmouth sweatshirt with an infectious smile ready for Mardi Gras (theme was ‘Blizzard on Bourbon Street’). Maybe it was the fact that it was my first Winter Carnival and I still possessed the wide-eyed amazement and excitement of a child on Christmas morning. Maybe it was because we could still order kegs and they would be delivered to our dorm. Or maybe it was the free EBA’s chicken sandwich that was kindly bestowed on me after the restaurant had closed (I was knocking over and over on the locked door). Somehow that first one remains as my all-time favorite.” He’s now married to Anne, whom he met during sophomore summer, and they have two children—Elizabeth (a junior at William and Mary) and Charlotte (a sophomore in high school). Meg Sommerfeld sent an update from the Alumni Council meeting last weekend, when she was joined by fellow ’90s Michael Lisi and Kim Buresh. Both Michael and Kim are active with their alumni clubs back home, Michael in San Francisco and Kim in Los Angeles. Fellow ’90 Julie Urda was also in Hanover just for fun. Julie is a professor of management at Rhode Island College and drove up for the weekend. Meg continues: “After the Alumni Council meetings were over Julie and I headed over to the stadium to watch Dartmouth defeat Columbia 56-0. Neither of us had been back for a football game in awhile and we had a blast cheering on the team—joined by an especially enthusiastic bunch behind us complete with green hair!—and singing the alma mater together at the end of the game to celebrate the team’s victory. We ran into President Hanlon walking back from the game and said hello—he was very friendly and stopped to chat for a moment with us. I hear that in addition to all of his duties leading the College, he is teaching a calculus class and started the day of his official inauguration on campus by teaching his 8:45 section of ‘Math 11.’ ” The Alumni Council also had the pleasure of hearing from our classmate and economics professor at Dartmouth Bruce Sacerdote. He moderated a panel of current students taking some “experiential learning” classes taking them outside of the classroom and into the Upper Valley community, where they are studying, researching, and interacting with residents, nonprofit organizations, businesses and government. For those who are interested, you can see some of their work at www.40towns.com. Apparently someone told Meg that “students thinks that Professor Sacerdote is the man!” You can read more about what he’s has been up to on www.dartbeat.com. Important 25th reunion news (yes, it’s coming in 2015)! The reunion team had its first planning call and anyone interested in helping should contact Meg at meg.sommerfeld@comcast.net. Finally, congratulations to Jonathan Weatherly, who finished his first marathon in Chicago in 2:46. His daughter Madison is also a top runner in high school and potential Dartmouth class of 2019! —Walter Palmer, 87 South St., Rockport, MA 01966; palmerwalter@mac.com; Rob Crawford, 47 Black Oak Road, Weston, MA 02493; robertlcrawford@yahoo.com
