Class Note 1983
Issue
Sept - Oct 2016
Deborah Robbins Healey was married to Rick Estabrook on June 25. The event took place at the Pitcher Inn in Warren, Vermont. Dartmouth folks in attendance included Amy Haigh Fassett, Deborah Ellsworth, Denise Mullane, Bill Paganelli ’79 and Deb’s dad, Alan Robbins ’59. Amy reports that great fun was had by all!
On that very same day, on the other side of the country, Mark Gorman married his long-time partner, Michael Sporn, in a beautiful evening wedding, according to Tina Poulter Carrier. Tina and her husband, Ian, made the trip from Massachusetts to join Mark and Michael on their big day. Other Dartmouth ’83s in attendance included Joel Riedenberg, Libby Schmeltzer Stinson and Anne Blanchard. Mark’s brother, Gregg ’85, was also there. Stella and Stanley the Labradoodles helped walk Mark down the aisle. Tina says that it was a “wonderful moving ceremony followed by dinner and dancing!” Congratulations to Mark and Michael!
Congratulations are also in order to Peter Burack, who let us know that his daughter, Samantha Burack, will be attending Dartmouth as a member of the class of 2020. She will be joining her sister, Emily, who is a ’17.
I received an actual hand-written letter, in script no less, from Debbie Himelman. Unfortunately, she’s had a bit of bad luck the past few years. Her husband died a couple years ago, but she recently hooked up with her much younger, handsome neighbor! You go, girl! She also lost her left foot from an infection, but is walking again after six months of no activity. She has a prosthetic foot that is titanium and she says her gait is faster and sturdier than it was before her loss.
That’s all the news (that’s fit to print!). Less than two years to our next reunion! Forever green!
