Class Note 1979
A host of ’79s returned to the Hanover Plain to march in the Homecoming parade and watch the football team run its record to 4-1 (2-0 in the Ivy League) with a 24-21 victory over Holy Cross. We’re all pulling for head coach Buddy Teevens in his pursuit of an Ivy League title!
Carey Fiertz was among the revelers at Homecoming and shared the following: “If you do not want to be invited to contribute a class note, serve as a class agent or help out at reunion, do not march in the Homecoming parade or attend any class activities. Our officers don’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Actually, my wife, Kim, and I had a great time over the weekend, highlighted by seeing daughter Maggie ’15 belt out a solo in the Gospel Choir concert. Back home in Salisbury, Connecticut, I broker receivables insurance, mainly for U.S. exporters. In my spare time I use my environmental studies background to run the local lake association, relive my Outing Club days as an officer in our ski jumping club, teach skiing at nearby Catamount Mountain, act as a board member for Alpha Theta and serve as district enrollment director for Dartmouth in Litchfield County.”
Harold “Hal” Frazier also attended Homecoming and said: “I have been married to Dr. Annie Bork Frazier ’82 for 29 years. Annie is a renowned chest radiologist and a gifted medical illustrator, not to mention a tremendous partner in our life walk together. We have two great sons: Ian, who is a junior at Cornell University, and Duncan, who is in high school and seriously considering Dartmouth. I am passionately involved in the Boy Scouts. I still love my camping time in the George Washington National Forest and my backpacking time along the Appalachian Trail of Virginia and West Virginia. I am an avid waterman, sailing and kayaking on the Potomac River and in Chesapeake Bay as often as possible, and am deeply involved in my church and our Kensington, Maryland, community.”
Holly Clark Grainger wrote: “Thanks for tracking me down, Stanley. [My pleasure, Holly!] I assumed I’d been lost from our class when it took me seven years to finish, but I finally graduated in 1982. I married Dave Grainger ’83 and followed his peripatetic academic career before settling in Park City, Utah, seven years ago. After Dartmouth I did lab research but switched to full-time mom and volunteer to everything. Nat ’08, my oldest, spends his time ski patrolling at Canyons and Big Sky. He loves packing dynamite at 5 a.m. for avalanche control. Jessie graduated from the Colorado School of Mines in 2010 and Maddy from Willamette University in 2013. Eliza just finished her freshman year at Dartmouth.”
Last but not least, congratulations to Dawn Hudson and Lisa Mendelson Friel on their recent NFL appointments. Dawn was named chief marketing officer and Lisa has been drafted to help Commissioner Roger Goodell clean up the league’s domestic violence and sexual assault issues.
