Class Note 1977
Issue
July-August 2022
Jim Guth chaired our 40th reunion, served as vice president of the class for the past five years, and is our incoming president. After Dartmouth and an M.B.A. from Kellogg, Jim focused his career on investment management, becoming a chartered financial analyst. He retired five years ago. Now he and husband John split their time between Palm Springs, California, and the cornfields of northwest Indiana. Jim’s hobbies include swimming, landscaping, gardening, and traveling. Jim is glad he and John visited Russia with a Dartmouth alumni travel group in 2019.
Chuck Dana is our incoming class treasurer. He has retired from corporate life and lives in Park City, Utah, with his wife of 36 years, Cindy. They enjoy a very active lifestyle with skiing, hiking, golf, and biking. Chuck stays in contact with the Dartmouth community through his Alpha Delta friends and the many Dartmouth folks who live in Utah.
We would like to thank our outgoing class head agents John Ogden and Betsy Fauver Stueber. Together, they have raised more than $6 million for the Dartmouth College Fund and financial aid from our class. John and his wife recently retired and their kids have (mostly) left the nest. John was looking for a new challenge, so when he was asked to become a head agent, he said yes. He and Betsy have enjoyed contacting classmates. “More importantly, we have had the satisfaction of helping to ensure that current and future students will benefit from the ‘Dartmouth experience’ as we did.” As of April the class of ’77 was in the top three for four Dartmouth College Fund awards: largest reunion dollar total, greatest number of reunion donors, greatest number of reunion 1769 donors, and greatest number of donors whose gift was five-plus years ago or who had never given. Congratulations Betsy and John, and thanks to all the classmates who contributed.
