Class Note 1974
Issue
To commemorate its 100th anniversary the Dartmouth Outing Club organized an “Appalachian Trail in a Day” group hike on October 10. Doug Shufelt, Jeff Kirchhoff ’76 and Jeff’s dog Granite completed the 9.4-mile trail segment over three summits from Washington, Massachusetts, to Becket, Massachusetts. Doug reported beautiful scenery on the hike with swamps, a gorgeous pond and New England fall foliage at its peak. Doug lives in Rowayton, Connecticut, and recently joined Leadership Capital Group, an executive search firm based in Westport. (Celia and I also participated in the DOC event, hiking a 10.9-mile segment of the trail in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western Virginia.)
After graduation Richard Winkler launched his professional life in film overseas, focused on special effects, mixed media, animation and large-format projects. Returning to New York he began a 30-year career working for a range of production companies producing documentaries, commercials, telefilms and large-format films (IMAX). Fifteen years ago Richard co-founded and served as executive producer for Curious Pictures, a production company for animation, commercials and television. In September 2008 Richard decided the timing was right to “take a break from active participation in the U.S. economy” and sold his share of the company. He and his wife, Selby, moved to San Diego, California, and bought the house her great-grandfather had built there 80 years ago. Richard is now an active volunteer with local sustainability groups in San Diego, working in the areas of vegetable gardening, building new home and community gardens, composting, the local food movement, zero waste, sustainable farming and effective water re-use.
