In September I attended the Dartmouth Entrepreneurs Forum in San Francisco. More than 500 alumni came to hear presentations by noted alums, including Jeff Crowe ’78, Roger McNamee, Tu’82, and Jim Coulter ’82. I ran into Peter Mills, who is the CEO of a new company, Track3t, that can precisely and continuously locate inventory, equipment, and tooling as it moves through a factory or warehouse. Peter commented, “You’d be amazed how many companies lose their stuff.” Who knew? Peter’s patent application was issued in September; he is currently raising money. John Storella was also at the forum, interested in innovations in biotech and cleantech. As a reminder, the Magnuson Center for Entrepreneurship has announced the creation of the Dartmouth Entrepreneurs Hall of Fame. We are invited to nominate alumni who have had an extraordinary impact on their industries. Nominees can come from any industry. The honorees will be announced at the next Entrepreneurs Forum in September 2020.

Stevenson “Steve” Upton and his wife, Anita, now live in Manchester, New Hampshire. Steve, a retired lawyer, has through many years assembled in his home an archive of original, pre-1950 materials (photos, works of art, letters, documents, etc.) regarding foreigners in late Qing and Republican China. His archive has been visited by many professors from China and Japan, as well as from the United States and Canada. Several museum curators and university librarians have also visited the archive. Dartmouth alums and their spouses are very welcome to visit at any mutually convenient time. Steve is the editor of Foreigners in China Magazine, an e-magazine that is distributed around the world to more than 300 people, most of whom are professors of Chinese history. The yard behind the Uptons’ home is visited by many animals. Steve and Anita call it “Chipmunkland.”

Jonathan Gage continues to practice cardiology and teach medical students in New Haven, Connecticut. “Practicing medicine is consuming but still quite a lot of fun.” He and his wife, Janet, are happily “recovering” from the renovation of their old farmhouse. They enjoy watching the development of their daughter’s work as a goldsmith with her own atelier and visiting their son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter in Singapore. Jeffrey Perry has published his 15th book of poetry. It is called Redefining Justice: The Art of Listening.
