Class Note 1973
Issue
May - Jun 2017
It’s May, it’s May….
We heartily welcome as newly adopted class members women who were exchange students our junior year: Barbara Cory, LeVaun Graulty, Kay Marie Gutknecht, Comfort Halsey, Sally White Harty, Nancy Brown Hughes, Susan Lichtig, Cynthia Saranec Livermore, Carin M. Rubenstein, Carol Spodobalski and Betty Sudarsky. Long overdue! Hope to see you at future class and College events. If anyone is aware of others similarly situated who might be interested in being adopted, please let a class officer know.
The February cover of Washington Lawyer featured Ben Wilson accompanied by the caption “pioneer of diversity and inclusion.” His interview within addresses many topics, including growing up in Jackson, Mississippi, attending school in the Northeast, working for the U.S. Department of Justice and bias and discrimination in the country today. Read “A Conversation with Benjamin F. Wilson” at http://washingtonlawyer.dcbar.org/february2017/#/20.
A fifth novel by Howard Reiss has been published in softcover and as an e-book. The Old Drive-in is set in a small upstate New York town. One reviewer described it as a cozy, nostalgic story, a perfect book to read by the fire, and another noted appreciatively the main character did not have his life all together. “A real-life story with blurred and jagged edges that had a heart and soul to it.”
Philip Vernon has been practicing law in Teaneck, New Jersey, since 2007, a general practice with some emphasis on real estate. Metalink Corp. president Martin Pawloski has been running his company in Arizona since 1982. Metalink is an electronic component making machinery business. Jim Kallestad is involved with sales at RooferMart of Minnesota in Minneapolis. The company is a wholesale distributor of roofing, siding and insulation and specializes in commercial building exterior envelope systems.
This year’s Winter Carnival, called “Dartmouth College of Icecraft and Blizzardry: A Magical Winter Carnival,” was packed with Harry Potter-themed events. The polar bear plunge and ice sculpture contest kicked off the weekend on Friday afternoon, followed by the human dog sled race and 99-cent ski day on Saturday. Sadly, due to town permit restrictions, the dragon-shaped sculpture on the Green had to be under four feet in height. So much for the lofty masterpieces of yesteryear.
The construction of the new Moosilauke Ravine Lodge is progressing, with tall white pine timbers resting on giant granite boulders. Quite the project. A feature story and photos are available online at https://news.dartmouth.edu/news/2017/02/tall-timbers-big-boulders-moosi….
More than 150 classmates do not have functioning email addresses. Keep up with our class activities using Dartmouth’s easy update form. No need to login. Simply type dartgo.org/update into your browser, fill in current contact information and submit!
With heavy heart I note the February passing of Mark Harty, former class president and tireless alum who earned the prestigious Dartmouth Alumni Award. Mark was a terrific fellow and will be missed by many. News recently arrived also of the August 2016 death of Cleveland Webber. Siddha, a lifelong Chicagoan, painted 57 public murals in Chicago, among other accomplishments. See dartmouthalumnimagazine.com for obituaries.
