Class Note 1992
Issue
May - Jun 2017
If you haven’t yet participated in our annual “Engage ’92” month of service, you can still sign up for Dartmouth’s Day of Service on Saturday, May 6 (visit alumni.dartmouth.edu/serve/alumni-day-service to find a volunteer project near you). Send us a photo and we’ll include it in an upcoming newsletter, along with all the updates from our April 2 classwide virtual reunion.
It’s always a good day when I receive news about a classmate, but it’s even nicer when it comes from a proud ’92 parent. Wayne Givens ’60 wrote to let me know about a major real estate investment that his son, Jeff Givens, managed. Jeff’s firm bought the iconic Emerald Plaza in San Diego, California. I checked in with Jeff, and he wrote, “I’ve been in San Diego since 1997 and am living near the beach with my wife, Sarah, and our two girls, Ellyse (14) and Emily (12). They keep us busy with school and club volleyball travel. For the last three years I’ve taken a role as senior vice president with Kearny Real Estate Co. and am involved in a number of commercial real estate projects in Southern California. I was recently able to meet up with Dave Aznavorian for dinner and a few margaritas in Orange County while Dave was out meeting with Fox Sports as part of his work as a marketing director for the U.S. Golf Association.”
Eagle Glassheim has published a new book: Cleansing the Czechoslovak Borderlands: Migration, Environment, and Health in the Former Sudetenland. Eagle is associate professor of history at the University of British Columbia, Canada. He wrote: “In more important news, I have two lively daughters, Sierra (10) and Acadia (8), who enjoy math, reading and cross-country skiing. We thought we were giving them outdoorsy names, though now it appears we’ve got a thing for GMC trucks. And in apparently unrelated news, last summer I did a cross-continent road trip visiting open-pit mining sites; this coming summer I will become chair of my department at UBC. Glad I got the open-pit mine visits out of the way.”
Congratulations to Winnie Huang, who was awarded 2016 Metro Club President of the Year at Club and Group Officers Weekend in Hanover in January. Winnie is president of the Dartmouth Club of Los Angeles, where she organized kayaking on the Los Angeles River, a homecoming bonfire on the beach, an Oscars countdown party with Dartmouth Alumni in Entertainment and Media, a spring mixer with Dartmouth Asian Pacific American Alumni Association and an Alumni Day of Service event. Winnie also serves as president of Dartmouth Uniformed Service Alumni and is launching Women of Dartmouth in L.A. She wrote, “My Dartmouth plate is totally full. So I may not even make it to reunion because I have to go back to Hanover so much already!!”
This is probably the last column you’ll read before our 25th (unless the next one arrives in time for you to read it on the plane, train or automobile on your way to Hanover). I look forward to seeing many of you there! To register, visit alumni.dartmouth.edu/reunions/1992, and for details about all the events our committee has planned for the weekend, visit 1992.dartmouth.org/reunion.
It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of the loss of a dear classmate. Nancy De Sa died on February 16 in Scarsdale, New York. The class extends its deepest sympathies to her family and friends. Please email me remembrances of Nancy for our website’s “In Memoriam” section (stories and photos are welcome).
