Class Note 1976

Greetings! As I sit here in North Carolina at the end of October on a day that approached 80 degrees, I wonder what kind of weather we’ll all be looking at when this issue comes out near the holidays. A few weeks ago I passed through the Manchester, New Hampshire, airport on the Sunday following Homecoming after bird hunting in northern Maine, and by the Dartmouth green I saw in the airport it looks like the weekend was well attended in Hanover. I’m sure that we’ll hear stories of the class of ’76 attendees and their meetings and gatherings over the weekend from the bonfire through the game and beyond. Since Judy and Tom Csatari generously opened their home and she now writes the class newsletter, we should hear more details from the weekend.


As far as news goes, you had to go to law school to make the cut for this issue. Dan Forsyth, managing member of Bond, Schoenek & King PLLC’s Buffalo, New York, office has been named Lawyer of the Year by Best Lawyers in America for labor law-management for 2015. Congratulations to Dan.


From Portland, Maine, comes news from Bernstein Shur that they have added Richard D. Prentice as a shareholder in their Portland office in their real estate practice, bringing with him 35 years (he must be much older than the rest of us!) of experience. His focus is on structuring complex projects and strategy as well as commercial leasing of all kinds. Congratulations to the pride of Vermont.


Well, we moved to North Carolina to be closer to children and grandchildren. Our first grandchild arrived on October 13 and our next is expected in April, so things are working out as planned. We enjoyed living on the Morse Lake in Indiana so much that our boat made the trip to North Carolina before we even bought a house. We’re looking forward to spending time on Lake Gaston next summer.


Best wishes and good health to you and your families and happy 60th birthday to those of you who haven’t hit that milestone yet.
