Class Note 2002
Issue
May-June 2021
Hello, ’02s! This month I decided to take a new approach of randomly selecting a small group of classmates from our class list and requesting updates. I only heard back from one classmate, so next time around I’ll expand the group!
Thanks so much to Tracy Keller for her response. “After four years back in Vermont at Green Mountain Valley School, my family and I (husband Dan, Wilson, 6, and Harper, 4) have settled into life on campus. We’re eager for the post-pandemic world so we can socialize with Sarah (Meyers) Pingree and her family, who now spend extensive time at their new home in the Mad River Valley.” Tracy mentioned she has also been enjoying many virtual cocktail hours with Dartmouth classmates—a pandemic feature I have also been a party to and one I sincerely hope continues as we inch toward normalcy.
David Trouille has written a new book, Fútbol in the Park: Immigrants, Soccer and the Creation of Social Ties, published by the University of Chicago Press. The book takes the reader “into the world of Latino soccer players who regularly play in an upscale Los Angeles neighborhood where they are not always welcome. Together on the soccer field, sharing beers after the games, and occasionally exchanging taunts or blows, the men build relationships and a sense of who they are. Through these engrossing, revealing, and at times immortalizing activities, they forge new identities, friendships, and job opportunities, giving themselves a renewed sense of self-worth and community. As the United States becomes increasingly polarized over issues of immigration and culture, Fútbol in the Park offers a close look at the individual lives and experiences of migrants.” David played soccer at Dartmouth and is currently a professor of sociology at James Madison University.
A bit of class news, our 20th reunion, which was originally scheduled for June 18-20, will be held virtually. Our next on-campus reunion will be our 25th in June 2027—but be on the lookout for information about other class events at Homecoming or mini-reunions once we are safely able to gather in person.
I hope you all are well and please send in your updates!
