Class Note 1991
Issue
Nov - Dec 2015
I hope everyone has already blocked off the calendar for our 25th reunion! Note that the festivities begin on Thursday, June 16, and conclude on Sunday, June 19, 2016. If you want to skip the dorms this time around, please keep in mind that the downtown Hanover hotels (Hanover Inn and Six South Street) are already pretty well booked; however, there may still be some availability at hotels in the outskirts of Hanover and in White River Junction, Vermont. On the other hand, if you are looking forward to reliving your dorm experience, information about reserving a spot in the dorms should hit mailboxes sometime in the late winter or early spring. Reunion chair Heather Lane Spehr has been busy recruiting classmates for various reunion tasks, and it promises to be a great weekend!
Submissions for this column were really slim over the summer (read: nonexistent), but I can always count on the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network (DEN) to give me updates! Many members of the class of 1991 have exceled in various entrepreneurial ventures, and it’s exciting to see a growing number of us continue to give back to the next generation of Dartmouth entrepreneurs. Sponsored by DEN, Jeff Blackburn visited campus back in June to speak with students and other members of the Dartmouth community about his role as senior vice president of business development at Amazon. On September 11 Jeff was joined by Jon Callaghan, Eric Chin, Steve Hafner, Andrea Reisman Johnson, John Pepper, Thomas Ryan at the Dartmouth Entrepreneurs Forum 2015 in San Francisco.
Taylor Keen returned to campus in May to participate in the 43rd Dartmouth powwow. The two-day event was held on the Green and is second largest student-run powwow on the East Coast. Taylor lives in Omaha, Nebraska, where he is an instructor in the department of marketing and management at Creighton University.
Sadly, I must report the passing of classmate (Puneet) Peter Sagar this past spring. If you have memories or insights to share for the obituary that will be posted on the class website, please send them directly to me.
