Class Note 1991
Issue
Mar - Apr 2019
Happy early spring, also known as “mud season” up in Hanover! Here are two friendly reminders. First, on April 1, the 91st day of the year, join us on Facebook for our virtual class reunion. Post a quick note with your latest news, big or small. Also, please send our “communications committee” member Cindy Greene photos and updates! We are trying to put together a paper newsletter chronicling our adventures as we all turn the big 5-0. Those updates and pictures can be emailed to dartmouth91news@gmail.com.
In class news, our own Sue Shankman Namath represented the Jewish community at the funeral for President George H.W. Bush in December. A select group of clergy from different faiths was chosen to be part of the services. Sue is a rabbi at Washington Hebrew Congregation in Washington, D.C.
Jake Tapper was on hand in New York City in January when Dartmouth painted the city green for “Dartmouth on Location: 250.” The celebration was one of the kick-off events of the College’s 250th anniversary and included ice skating reminiscent of our days on Occom Pond, storytelling by Jake and actor David Harbour ’97, and a celebratory party. More events for the 250th can be found at www.alumni.dartmouth.edu/engage/calendar.
I recently caught up with Kathy Flynn Lawson, whose youngest son, Alex, was admitted to Dartmouth’s class of 2023 in the early-decision round! She and husband David ’90 are “beyond thrilled.” Kathy’s middle son, Brian, is a junior at Hamilton College playing baseball, and her oldest son, Mark, graduated from Vassar last May, and he is taking a year to travel and work in Australia. David continues to work virtually as a commercial lending attorney. Says Kathy, “We are now planning our next chapter as empty-nesters, which will soon include a move to warmer weather and lots of travel!”
I received this update from Sara Burbine Potter, who attended a great Dartmouth event: “In December I had the chance to join a couple hundred Dartmouth women and men in New York City for an exclusive showing of Gloria: A Life, a new play about the extraordinary life of Gloria Steinem. After the play we all had the opportunity to participate in a talking circle led by Gloria Steinem herself, where attendees asked her questions about current events and her life.” Other classmates in attendance were Caitlin Staunton Appleton, Molly Aube, Deb Dulsky, Victoria Hall Gmelich, and Heather Rosbe Vrattos.
On my end, daughter Katie ’21 is looking forward to Sophomore Summer and son Jack was admitted to Middlebury College during the early-decision round. We are excited to have both kids in New England, about an hour and a half from each other, for the next few years!
See you all on Facebook on April 1!
