Class Note 1994
Issue
Sep - Oct 2018
No matter how many years pass since we graduated from college (almost 25, but who’s counting?), I still regard the year on a school calendar rather than the traditional calendar. Maybe it’s my constant craving for summer vacation, maybe it’s keeping the master calendar for my family with school-aged kids, but regardless, August feels likes an ending, and September feels like a fresh start.
What “fresh start” lies ahead of you? Consider sending me your news, as you read through the updates of your classmates below.
Len Mead is sporting a new job these days. He reports: “After seven years managing the content at Comcast SportsNet New England (home of the Celtics among other things), I had the opportunity to shift west and become general manager of NBC Sports Northwest (home of the Trail Blazers among other things). My wife, Amanda MacMillan ’95, and three kids are still in Littleton, Massachusetts, and I’m doing the world’s worst commute. I fly home to Massachusetts most weekends, then hop on an early Monday morning flight out to Portland, Oregon.”
As long as Len is making that commute, he is making the most of his time on the West Coast and is catching up with a few Dartmouth alums. He hosted Jeff Buehler at a Blazers’ game, and he spent a weekend in Seattle with long-time friend Mike Gardner and his wife, Jenn, and their two children. Calling other West Coasters? Reach out to Len!
Honor Sachs shares her own westbound story. Honor writes, “Well, everything is signed, and the ink is just about dry, so I think it’s safe to share my news: After five wonderful years with an amazing faculty here at West Carolina University, I am moving on. In the fall I’ll be joining the history faculty at the University of Colorado, Boulder. It will not be easy to leave my WCU colleagues, who are among the hardest working people I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. But I am also excited to join a new group of incredible scholars at Boulder. I will be in North Carolina one more year as a fellow at the National Humanities Center before I head out west. Life came at me fast this year, and I am excited and grateful to have a year off to finally write this long-gestating Coleman family book and to embark on a new professional adventure. Thanks to all who helped along the way!” We are looking forward to reading about your next chapter—both literally in your next book and figuratively in a future update in our Class Notes.
Matt Feeley sends news of his interesting and recent career change. After 16 years in private law practice, he has accepted the appointment to serve as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of Florida. He writes, “I am assigned to investigate and prosecute healthcare fraud cases. As you might imagine, we have quite a bit of that in south Florida. I would be happy to connect with any classmates who might find themselves passing through Miami.”
Keep the news coming!
