Class Note 1983
Issue
May - Jun 2018
By the time you read this magazine, registration will be live for our reunion June 13 thru 17, with the classes of 1982 and 1984. Yes, we’re clustering again! We’ll begin with an overnight at Moosilauke Ravine Lodge on Wednesday, June 13, and hike the next morning beginning around 8:30. The lodge has been completely rebuilt and looks absolutely amazing. You’ll need to call lodge manager Chachi Riesco at (603) 646-6543 to make a reservation if you want to stay overnight. Space is limited! If you have any questions about the hike or accommodations, contact Peter Kilmarx at pkilmarx@gmail.com.
We’ll kick off our official reunion on Thursday evening with a reception and dinner at Mac Gardner’s house in Hanover. Golf will take place on Friday with an 8 a.m. tee time, followed by a class lunch and a class meeting to elect new officers. We’ll also have TEDx-style talks Friday afternoon featuring Marika Olsen, Brian Kelly and a classmate to be named. Friday evening we’ll be having dinner and then dancing with our class’ favorite band, The Marsels, making another appearance at our reunion.
Saturday will be full of family activities and the reunion row. Dinner that night will be at the DOC House following the class memorial service. Sunday we’ll drag ourselves out of bed and head home after breakfast.
Be sure to register early! Prices vary depending on how long you’ll be reuning and when you register. It promises to be a great time to reconnect with your classmates!
In classmate news, Kenneth Weinstein has become president and CEO of Newtown Savings Bank. Ken believes strongly in the community bank model. He has been with community banks his entire career, starting as a teller during a summer internship, and joined Newtown Savings Bank in 2011.
Jean Hanff Korelitz’s The Devil and Webster has been long listed for the first Aspen Words Literary Prize. “The Aspen Words Literary Prize is a $35,000 annual award for an influential work of fiction that illuminates a vital contemporary issue and demonstrates the transformative power of literature on thought and culture. All of these works reflect some of society’s most pressing contemporary issues with artistry and humanity.” Jean also wrote the novel Admission, which partly takes place at Dartmouth.
See you in June! (And if you have any questions, let me know!) Let it be green!
