Vox clamantis in desert: Dartmouth’s 65th birthday bash is just six months away in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Thursday, August 27, through Sunday, August 30.
Our bash committee, composed of Amy Cholnoky, Ted Lapres, Chuck Dana, Leslie Bradford, and Don Wiviott, has devised an active and festive weekend that will delight us all. Amy notes, “After more than a year of planning, we have crafted a jam-packed schedule guaranteed to appeal to all ’77s.”
Ted outlines the plan: “For Wednesday early birds, we’ll host a tailgate at the Santa Fe Opera before attending an open-air performance of M. Butterfly. Thursday will include fun-in-the-sun activities such as golf, hiking, mountain biking, and walking tours. Lodging options include the historic and beautiful La Fonda on the Plaza, our birthday bash HQ and venue for our Thursday evening welcome reception.”
Friday and Saturday activities include trips to Bandelier National Park, Los Alamos, Museum Hill, Canyon Road galleries, Georgia O’Keefe Museum, and the ever-popular farmers’ market; a cocktail reception at a local hot spot; multiple dining options and a gala 65th birthday party.

Mary-Beth Lindenthal Jones and husband George ’76 are enjoying living in Concord, Massachusetts. They have two sons, one in Connecticut and the other in Hong Kong. Mary-Beth traveled to Hong Kong this November to visit. She witnessed “one of the peaceful protests with thousands of Hong Kongers marching—young and old, from all walks of life. It was an astonishing experience that I will never forget.”
Jean Rosston and Max Anderson returned to Hanover to participate in the Hood Museum symposium titled “The New Now: Art, Museum & the Future,” part of the College’s 250-year celebration. Topics were diverse, relevant, regional, and worldly. All speakers were Dartmouth alumni. Jean writes, “There was a terrific synergy and exchange between speakers, the public, professors, alumni, Hood Museum staff and board members, and students. The renovated museum has been expanded into impressive new exhibition spaces and facilities to serve students.” Jean met and then mentored Hadley Detrick ’22 in a Zurich “winternship.”
We recently received belated word of Peter Wood’s passing in March of 2017. Peter came from Hinsdale, Illinois, lived in Mass his freshman year, studied French and economics at Dartmouth, and received an M.B.A. from NYU. Peter worked in the insurance industry as a risk analyst and lived in Manhattan, Nashville, and Jacksonville, Florida. At his death he was retired in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Peter loved the New York Yankees and enjoyed fishing and traveling. Classmates remember Peter as a witty conversationalist whose favorite music was the Grateful Dead.
