Class Note 1994
Issue
Nov - Dec 2016
Nicole Carrier has the granite of New Hampshire in her muscles and her brains! She returned to New Hampshire for her M.B.A. at Tuck and has continued to live and work in our cherished state. What started as a love of craft brewing more than 15 years ago, coupled with her business acumen and love of community, has grown into a successful and delicious business. Throwback Brewery has won a “Best of N.H. Award” for its excellence in farm-to-table brewing and has been featured in Food & Wine magazine as one of the “50 Amazing Nanobreweries in 50 States.” While Throwback Brewery beers are available all around New Hampshire, you can visit the brewery, farms and gastropub at its coastal North Hampton location.
In this politically charged election year I would hesitate to bring anything controversial to our class notes, but this nugget is unusual and unexpected, invites discussion and has already been featured in traditional news outlets. Doug Cameron has co-created and collaborated on the Trump Hut that has been moving from Trump Tower to other Trump properties and then throughout the country. Made in Mexico from 96 raffia hula skirts, the hut not only looks like Trump’s famous hairdo, but also reportedly symbolizes the “potential wealth inequality of a Trump presidency.” Doug and the distinctive “luxury” hut have been featured on NPR and CNN and in many written outlets, including Huffington Post and Gothamist. You can follow the roving political statement during the next few months on Facebook and Twitter at @TrumpHut.
Congratulations to two classmates on their academic research and newly published books. Honor Sachs is an assistant professor of history at Western Carolina University and has recently published Home Rule: Households, Manhood, and National Expansion on the Eighteenth-Century Kentucky Frontier. In addition to working on her book and teaching, Honor writes regularly about gender, slavery, history and memory for Huffington Post and History News Network. Nihad Farooq coincidentally is also an historian, and she is an associate professor of American and Atlantic studies and the director of undergraduate studies in the school of literature, media and communication at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Her new book is titled Undisciplined: Science, Ethnography, and Personhood in the Americas, 1830-1940.
In closing, I share the sad news of the death of Greg Ferris in July. Greg had many, many friends at Dartmouth. His friendly nature, Southern smile and outgoing personality set others at ease and drew new classmates to him. All who knew Greg will miss not just his warm personality, but also how he made them feel. With Greg there was no small talk. He wanted to know what was really going on and asked the probing questions that started meaningful conversations. Knowing Greg helped you know yourself better.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Sarah, and the apple of his eye, daughter Arden, as well as his mother, sister and sister’s family. Many of his fellow Alpha Chi Alpha brothers and friends through the years gathered in Houston, Greg’s hometown, to honor the warm, deeply caring friend.
