Class Note 1991
Issue
Babies, business and books this time. Please join me in welcoming Daxton “Dax” Kenton Mutter to the Dartmouth family, presumably a future member of the class of 2032. Word from Paul Mutter that Tiger’s little brother arrived on April 23 and that everyone is doing well.
Exciting news from Deb van Winkle Dulsky as well. In March Deb was named chief executive officer of Williams Lea’s marketing solutions business division in New York City. Williams Lea is a leading global provider of corporate information solutions with offices across Europe, the United States and Asia. Her clients include Walmart, Citibank and Elizabeth Arden. Deb loves her new gig, although the commute from Westport, Connecticut (where she lives with her husband and sons Adam, 14, and Jack, 12) has taken some getting used to. Before joining Williams Lea Deb was with Affinion Group, an international marketing company with more than 100 million customers. There she was senior vice president of business development and client solutions.
And from Andrew Field, an outstanding accomplishment: the publication of his book, Shanghai’s Dancing World: Cabaret Culture and Urban Politics, 1919-1954, by the Chinese University Press. Andrew is an independent scholar of Chinese history and culture living in Shanghai. His book traces the origin, rise and ultimate fall of the commercial dance industry in Shanghai between World War I and the early years of the People’s Republic of China. It has been very well received, with numerous authors complimenting Andrew on his remarkably thorough and extensive study of Shanghai’s legendary cabarets, dance halls and nightlife. After Dartmouth Andrew earned his master’s and Ph.D. from Columbia’s East Asian languages and cultures program. He has taught Chinese history for the University of Puget Sound, as well as Chinese, East Asian and world history at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. In 2007 Andrew directed Dartmouth Beijing FSP and subsequently began teaching for New York University in Shanghai. Andrew writes, “I am close to completing a second book about the past century of Shanghai nightlife carrying the story into the present day, as Shanghai is reemerging as a nighttime metropolis. I am also producing a documentary film about the indie rock music scene in China based on footage I shot in Beijing.” Andrew met his wife, Zhang Mengxi (Mency Zhang), while researching his dissertation. They have two daughters, Sarah (6) and Hannah (1).
After reporting on Andrew’s world tour it is a bit humbling to sign off from the seemingly less-exotic locale of Denver—but please know how much I appreciate receiving your updates.
Keep them coming!
