Another snowstorm in the Mid-Atlantic region—Philadelphia has had more snow this year than any time in recorded history! Everything looks quite lovely, except for my bank account. I just brought one of my golden retrievers home from the veterinary hospital after his second surgery in three years for a bowel obstruction—Valiant will eat anything that’s not tied down. Has anyone else out there had this same experience? I told my husband we could have taken a fabulous trip to the islands for 10 days with what we just paid!


Heard from Bill Replogle recently: His brother John ’88 was recently nominated by the Alumni Council for a trustee position. Bill is a fellow Cohasset, Massachusetts, native. He now spends most of his time in northern Virginia and D.C. and lives along the Potomac River in Leesburg, Virginia. He’s been doing some songwriting with another one of his brothers. Bill mentioned he would be seeing Hugh Frater soon for some golf.

By the time you read this Dartmouth Alumni Magazine will be available online at dartmouthalumnimagazine.com! And the class of 2014 will have been admitted—doesn’t that make you feel old?! I had the pleasure of interviewing 11 prospective applicants this year and all I can say is I’m glad I’m not applying now—these students are amazing! Let me know if your son or daughter was accepted!
