Class Note 1966
Issue
March - April 2026
Class Note 1966. Class of ’66ers are still making a difference.
It took three years, but Rick MacMillan has succeeded in getting a major sculpture—Thought Cage by Christopher Curtis—installed in Ashuelot Park in Keene, New Hampshire. “If this cornerstone project blooms into a robust sculpture trail throughout the Monadnock Region,” Rick says, “the effort will have been well spent.”
Barbara and Ted Temple have lived in Beaufort, South Carolina, for 20 years, where they are impact volunteers: Barbara is on the boards of the Area Agency on Aging and the League of Women Voters, while Ted is treasurer of Friends of Hunting Island, a 5,000-acre maritime forest on the Atlantic Ocean.
Judith and Tom Hoober have moved to Missoula, Montana, where he works with the local Rotary Club and his church to help marginal students and failing families. Ed Dailey is still teaching religion at the Nativity Preparatory School in Boston. Historian Nelson Lichtenstein continues to publish meaningful books. His latest, Why Labor Unions Matter, comes out later this year.
Betsy and Tom Brady stay close to their one dozen grandchildren and continue with volunteer leadership roles on many organizations, including Tom’s ongoing service on the superintendent’s business advisory board of Toledo (Ohio) Public Schools.
Anne and Budge Gere support a family of “New Americans” resettled in Ann Arbor, Michigan, from Afghanistan “in myriad ways, especially their school activities.” Budge has also found time to team with Al Keiller to cochair our 60th reunion June 15-18 in Hanover. Online registration opens in early March.
Our sympathies to Wells Dow on the loss of Leelie, his wife of 50 years, to cancer last September.
“She passed away on September 4,” Wells poignantly wrote, “having met with and said goodbye to all the kids and grandkids.” All, indeed. Wells, who taught math and woodworking in middle and junior high schools for 31 years, and Leelie were blessed with five children and 12 grandchildren.
We note with sadness the recent passing of football captain and orthopedic surgeon Tom Clarke, college professor David Mulumba, and financial advisor Lance Roberts. More on each at dartmouth.66.org and the online Dartmouth Alumni Magazine.
