Class Note 1992

Issue

May - Jun 2012

I wanted to start our notes by giving a big shout-out to Bill Kuehn, who was recently named chairman of the board of governors at Shriners Hospitals for Children Chicago. Bill served nine years as associate board member, two years as a board member and one year as vice chairman. Shriners Hospitals for Children is a healthcare system of 22 hospitals dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing pediatric specialty care, innovative research and outstanding teaching programs for medical professionals. Children up to age 18 with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries and cleft lip and palate are eligible for care. They receive all services in a family-centered environment regardless of the patients’ ability to pay. Pretty cool, Bill!


Brett Wilson wrote in about a scholarly book he recently had published. A Race of Female Patriots: Women and Public Spirit on the British Stage, 1688-1745, has just come out with Bucknell University Press as part of its “Transits” series. More information can be found at https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781611483642.


Congrats to Woody Richman, whose movie, How to Survive a Plague, was bought during Sundance! The movie is a feature-length documentary about AIDS activism, from the Lavender Hill Mob to ACT UP and the Treatment Action Group.


Finally, this will be the last set of notes that you will read before our fabulous 20th reunion! Registration has gone live, and we hope you have signed up or will sign up to attend. Just a reminder: We are registering online only this year, which you can access through our class webpage. Once again we will be sharing the reunion weekend with the classes of 1991 and 1993, so there will be lots of former schoolmates to reacquaint with. The program is full of time to spend with friends, wander around the old grounds and even watch STOMP! on the Green. It’s hard to believe we have been out for 20 years, and we know everyone has lots of news to share. So see you in Hanover, June 15-17!


One particular note: Reunion plans include a raffle during Saturday night’s class dinner to raise funds for our class project, the Haven Homework Club. If you have a prize to donate to the raffle, please e-mail dartmouth92news@gmail.com.


Since we are coming up on the end of the fiscal year as you read this, I would like to remind everyone that in this reunion year our Dartmouth College Fund goal is 57-percent participation, and our class dues goal is 40 percent. Please consider contributing to each through links on our website at www.dartmouth.org/classes/92. As for the next fiscal year, July 1 will bring the start of a new five-year term of class officers and executive committee, and newcomers are always welcome—a broad and diverse representation of the class is always our goal!


If you’d like to become more involved with class leadership, please e-mail current class president Brant Rose at brantrose@gmail.com.
