Lisa Overton wrote from Greece, where she met up with Betty Wang for a yoga retreat and some island time. They also visited Istanbul, aided by local advice from Selen Unsal, who arrived in the city the day after they left.
Chip Davis shares, “A Big Green contingent of ’93s at my father’s funeral this summer—Andrea Greer, Angus King, Baird Ruch, Sandy Osborne, Jess Griffiths, and Tim Wennrich—comforted my family, which includes Ellen Davis Parish ’92 and Dan Parish ’90. I covered the rowing events of the Paris Olympics for Rowing News in Vaires-sur-Marne, where Oliver Bub ’20 and Billy Bender ’24 finished 10th for the United States and Molly Reckford ’15, finishing sixth in the lightweight double, made it three Games in a row in which a lightweight from Dartmouth represented the United States in the Olympics. Gustav Peebles also headed to Europe this summer—as associate professor at the department of social anthropology at Stockholm University in Sweden.”
The Dartmouth alumni page made an engaging post on Facebook: “Without using your class year, tell us how Dartmouth old you are.” Veree Hawkins Brown commented, “I used a landline in my room to call home weekly and had an answering machine on it for messages from mom and friends.” Mark Feinberg recollected that “If you could dial fast enough, you didn’t have to put in your personal code, and it was a free call.” Veree added, “Pottery cups used for Class Day on the Lone Pine, which was a bust!” Rachel Byrne quipped, “Totally! I think that was the one and only time they did that.” Jennifer Patterson Parrack enthused, “and we got to keep them!” Kristen Anderson reminisced about how “My mom snail mailed episodes of The Simpsons she had taped on VHS since we didn’t get Fox in the dorms.” Erik Ochsner posted,“We ordered EBAs, and the hospital was still on campus!” Shellon Blanchard-Clarke remembered, “I had to make sure I built in travel time to and from Kiewit Computation Center to get my printouts,” which was similar to Adam Leader’srecollection of “picking up printouts at Kiewit. Pat & Tony’s delivering kegs to the fourth floor of Hitchcock.” Betsy Barth Marantz remembered that “Hovey’s opened in Collis. Meatloaf and Adam Sandler performed on campus.” And Cameron Pelly was even more specific with concerts marking our time: “The Kinks played freshman year,” to which Farrell Page Harwood responded, “Along with Ziggy Marley, Squeeze, and the B52s (they may have been after freshman year—the fact I can’t remember is my response to the original request above).” Alli Hammond centered on how language study abroads and foreign study programs “were canceled due to the Gulf War.” Donna Mulvihill reminded us that“Jake Tapper was a cartoonist for The Dartmouth.”
