Class Note 1983
Issue
Nov - Dec 2018
“Summer should get a speeding ticket” or so the saying goes. After our 35th reunion jump-started the season, your class co-secretaries had to condense a bevy of memorable moments down to 500 words or less, so we begin this issue with a sequel. Thanks are due to our executive committee members, who worked tirelessly leading up to the reunion and continue in their roles, including Frank Davis, David Ellis, and Wade Welch,who oversee mini-reunions; Roger Baumann,who continues as head agent for Dartmouth fundraising (and, we’re told, has a wealth of news to share in an upcoming letter to the class about the 2018 Dartmouth College Fund—stay tuned); Reed Webster,who helms planned giving; and Patty Shepard and Robin Henning Rocchi,who are coordinating the class project.
Production credits for our 35th reunion belong to Mac Gardner and Andre Hunter, who are our multi-tasking class co-presidents; Reed Webster, Anni Dupre Santry, and Frank Davis, our reunion co-chairs; as well as Maren Christensen and Becky Ankeny, who orchestrated the swag bags, registration, and communications. Behind-the-scenes work included mailings, marketing, all sorts of accounting, and even last-minute beer runs. A shout-out goes to the Hanover Inn for its outstanding catering.
While letting the good times roll, during the weekend we also took time to reflect on the classmates we’ve lost during a lovely and moving memorial service led by Toby Hitt. Mac Gardner, Andre Hunter, and Reed Webster read the names of classmates gone too soon, and Kevin Connolly sang remembrances.
As Anni Dupre Santry writes, “Whoosh! The years have flown by. The irony of reunions is that you think you’re ‘going back’ to relive college experiences and renew old friendships, and then, ha, you walk away on Sunday with new and deeper friendships and experiences with folks we have known since we were 18.”
In other news, Michael Bush, managing member of BIV Investments, recently joined the advisory board of Herofi, a revenue optimization company for physical retail. After 22 years as a commercial, insurance regulatory, and tax attorney, Kevin Moriarty recently began pursuing a second career as a voiceover artist.
Anne Albright has moved from her private law practice to become a judge on the circuit court for Montgomery County in Maryland. Anne reports that she sees Jessica Rosenberg Brown when Jessica travels to Washington, D.C., in connection with her work for J Street, an advocacy group looking for solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Finally, Michael Behn,a trial attorney and former federal prosecutor specializing in the civil prosecution of fraud, was featured with a client on the July 28 episode of a new CBS News series, Whistleblower: The Case Against Northrop. The episode (season one, episode three) can still be viewed on CBS.com. Without giving anything away, we can say it’s an emotional rollercoaster. Michael has been representing whistleblowers for decades.
If only he could prosecute the summer for speeding.
