Class Note 1970
Issue
March - April 2026
Class Note 1970. March means St. Patrick’s Day, so we salute classmates who are Mc’s or Mac’s with an “Erin go Bragh.”
Donald McArnis writes that 15 years after graduation, he successfully battled Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He was an attorney at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
John McCravey stayed at Dartmouth for med school and then went into private practice in medical oncology in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
As of 1995, James McIntyre was living on Bainbridge Island, Washington, and had worked as a carpenter, cabinetmaker, and custom furnituremaker.
Robert McKay wrote a book in 1989, Under the Trapeze, about the last original independently owned family circus.
Stephen McKeown did graduate study abroad in Scotland and Germany studying cabinetmaking.
Peter McKeever writes, “Armed with an M.P.A. and J.D. from UW-Madison, I embarked on a career as public interest advocate: 12 years representing low-income folks, 10 years as state director of Wisconsin’s chapter of the Nature Conservancy, then 25 years in a niche area of law, advising nonprofit land trusts, drafting and defending conservation easements—work recognized with a lifetime achievement award. I served six years on our local city council and nonprofit boards. Now retired, I help advise progressive causes, ride a bicycle, and travel. In 2023 I rode from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C. It keeps me going in body and spirit.”
John “Jock” McKernan did grad study at the University of Maine School of Law. That led him to four years in the U.S. House of Representatives, then eight years as governor of Maine. He is married to Maine’s junior senator, Olympia Snowe.
Don MacMannis had an interesting career combining writing children’s songs while being a psychologist. “I contacted Robert Reich ’68 with a song I wrote about the presidential campaign in 2024. The last time I had contact with him was when we were trying to end the Vietnam War. I’m still a psychologist and trying to make political difference in our nation. I wrote a song with Lois Mahalia to help voters choose.”
