Class Note 1986

Davida Sherman Dinerman writes, “I am still in the tech PR industry, but last April, after 21 years with the same firm in its various growth iterations, I moved back to small agency life. I am still playing tennis competitively and doing a lot of volunteer work in my town of Ashland, Massachusetts. My son, Ari, is 18 (he will have graduated by now). He’s a fantastic student and has developed into a great wrestler. My daughter, Abby, just turned 21. She is a junior at the University of Rhode Island, majoring in health sciences, and wants to be a pediatric nurse. My husband, Brad, is in his 10th year as an information technology consultant and is an amateur birder and photographer.”

Here is an update from John Mungovan: “I keep in touch with Dan Driscoll, my roommate from Dartmouth and Brown medical school. My wife, Sue, and I still live in Barrington, Rhode Island. Emily is a junior at Boston College on the equestrian team. Andrew is a freshman at Union on the men’s swim team. Molly is a junior at Wheeler School in Providence, Rhode Island. Meagan is in eighth grade. I am still at Southcoast Hospitals Group in southeastern Massachusetts, currently chairman of radiology. We are very busy between work and attending all the kids’ sporting events. No retirement on the horizon for me.”

Andre Cramblit and his Delta Psi siblings celebrated their 55th birthday together. Their photo will be shared in our next newsletter with Eric “Quartz” Libre ’85, John “Digger” Graves, Lizanne “Zann” Nagel ’88, Mark “Flipper” Putter ’87, Matthew “Llama” Huggins, Andy “Reno”Flint ’84, Erik “Trak” Warga, and Eric “E-Man” Bakeman. Nicholas Flagler forwarded an article about Bill Ruhl receiving the 2018 Kenneth A. DeGhetto Philanthropic Ambassador Award for his contributions to the Metro YMCA leadership board. Congratulations, Bill, you make us all proud.

Please continue to keep James McKown in your thoughts, and prayers, as he, and his family, continue battling renal disease. James’ older brother is a match, and so we continue to hope the transplant and recovery are successful. Please contact Harry Carrel if you are interested in what Compassio is doing to help. Dr. David Kotz will be on sabbatical in Zurich from September through June. He will be based at the center for digital health interventions at ETH, the leading engineering university in Zurich. His wife will join and his son will attend the Zurich International School. He said, “We’re looking forward to exploring Switzerland and beyond!” I would like to acknowledge all our classmates who responded to my requests for mentors for the Dartmouth Partnership in Community Service around the country. There were many mentees over the past summer, and many of you stepped up to be considered. Thank you.

John Hueston and I had the pleasure of spending this year’s annual Dartmouth Pow Wow with my roommate, Carrie Shook Coolidge ’85, Harry Carrel, Joe Leake, Ray Burns, Ned Groves, Jim Kallman, Jayne Jones and husband Vernon, Julide Onder Woodward and husband Tim ’85, and Mary Pavel ’88.
