Our class virtual reunion will take place the week of March 23 (March 24 is the 83rd day of the year). Get out your cell phones and cameras and take a picture of yourself or with a classmate and email it to me! We’ll put them together in a collage to be included in a newsletter.


Keith Moskow, who brought the sculptural installation Ice Chimes to campus for Dartmouth’s “Year of the Arts,” presented a film, Microtopia, at the architecture and design film series held at the Burlington (Vermont) City Arts Center. Keith introduced the film with a talk titled, “Swamp Hut, Ice Chime and Rural Interventions,” that focused on rural projects built as part of his Studio North program in Norwich, Vermont, as well as an 800-square-foot home entirely heated and cooled by passive solar means and a two-story tower built in downtown Boston for the sole purpose of making enormous icicles. 


I got an actual written letter from the Rev. James Nadeau. On November 1, 2013, he was promoted to knight commander of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem. The order dates back to 1099 and the conquest of Jerusalem by Godfrey of Bouillon. Today the order works for peace in the Holy Land and is known for its charitable giving to schools, hospitals and direct assistance to all in need. James is living in Fort Kent, Maine.


David Ellis recently saw a number of friends in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, for an annual guys’ get together they’ve held more than 20 times and included Dartmouth friends Tien Wong ’84, Chris Hessler ’85, Chris Roche ’85 and Bill Worden ’85. What started as a boat cruise to talk about big entrepreneurial ideas has morphed into some of that plus a lot of commiserating about spouses, kids and increasing degrees of back pain! 


David started and manages a company that produces healthcare conferences. “It’s a good niche business that is helping healthcare CEOs raise their quality and lower their costs.” David’s divorced, and “my kids are good, and now I’m good too—and available, if any single classmates are reading this!”


Alan Eagle was just finishing a week in Peru when I connected with him. “Wednesday was a pretty amazing day: I started the day at dawn at Machu Picchu and ended by watching the Giants win the World Series.” Awesome day! 


Alan has been at Google for more than seven years. His first job included writing speeches for former CEO Eric Schmidt and senior VP Jonathan Rosenberg (a high school buddy of Alan’s). They decided to turn their experiences at Google into a book titled How Google Works. “It was a pretty cool experience and a lot more work than I expected! But it seems to be doing quite well—not bad for a computer science major.”


Alan now lives in Los Altos Hills, California, in the house he grew up in, his two kids are doing great and, most importantly, so are his Malamutes Kiana and Timber.
