Spring and summer bring gardening activities. Personally, this involves me providing unskilled labor for Nancy’s gardens. A couple of our classmates take on the pleasures and challenges of tending the garden themselves.


Andrew Stauss tends his garden at his home in East Norwalk, Connecticut. He finds it a pleasant and fulfilling outlet. His work as a brand consultant is going well. He helps clients develop brand identities, strategies and designs for consumer goods and business-to-business applications. Andrew has enjoyed trips to Hanover to visit his niece who recently earned her Ph.D. in psychology at Dartmouth. The classmate he sees most often is his twin brother Charlie Strauss, who lives nearby in Fairfield, Connecticut. Charlie is retired and active on a number of boards.


Jim Dealing gardens and contemplates the meaning of life in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. He and Liz will be celebrating their 44th anniversary. After 30 years in teaching Jim retired at age 57. He’s been busy with leadership positions in his Unitarian Church. Recreational activities include cross-country ski racing and birding. This winter he did back-country skiing in Colorado and stayed in 10th Mountain Division huts. Both Liz and their daughter, who is a Waldorf School teacher in Burlington, Vermont, graduated from Smith.


Kris Greene and his wife, Joan, moved back to New England two years ago. After graduation from medical school at University of Pennsylvania he had a medical career in the Navy followed by nine years in private practice before retiring. He is justifiably proud of designing and building his own home in Hyde Park, Vermont, during these last couple of years. His building skills are self-taught. Now that the house is completed Kris has enjoyed cutting wood and snowshoeing. His daughter is a veterinarian in California and his son lives at home and works at Stowe, Vermont.


Terry and Ed Keible report that the West Coast mini-reunion on the Monterey Peninsula in California will be September 11 to 13. Rooms are reserved at the Marriott in Monterey where we will have the Friday evening reception. Potential activities include golf, cycling, kayaking and visits to the aquarium and nearby Carmel as well as the famous 17 Mile Drive. Mark your calendars and be on the lookout for registration information.


French and Bob McConnaughey are organizing the Hanover mini-reunion that will be at Pierce’s Inn October 23 to 25. Planning for our 45th reunion on June 14-17, 2010, is in the works. Ted Atkinson and Bruce Wagner are assembling the reunion committee and arranging for good weather.


Sadly, I must report the death of Paul Eldridge on February 24 following a brief illness. His obituary will appear in the Alumni Magazine.
