1966
Activism - that's what a number of classmates have been up to.
Lance Tapley of Wiscasset, Maine, has always loved the outdoors and enjoyed hiking and camping in the mountains of his native state. In the winter of 1974 the developer's bulldozer seemed to be threatening the virgin beauty of the Bigelow Mountain range in west central Maine.
Tapley spearheaded a drive, Friends of Bigelow, to save the wilderness, and, after a protracted fight, the citizens of Maine voted "yes" last June on a referendum authorizing the state to establish a 40,000-acre public preserve encompassing the 17-mile Bigelow Mountain range. Developers, wishing to make Bigelow into the "Aspen of the east", will now have to look elsewhere.
Mike Millemann, an associate professor of law at the University of Maryland, has been named a special investigator to probe the return by Baltimore judges of thousands of dollars seized in raids against gamblers and narcotics violators who were ultimately convicted. He was selected by the city solicitor, on the recommendation of the state bar association, to direct the investigation that had been triggered by revelations in the Baltimore Sun.
Pieter van den Steenhoven has been appointed to the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Board by California governor Edmund Brown Jr. Pete, a Santa Monica city councilman and proprietor of the West Coast Bulb Company, prepped for his new assignment by testing the waters scuba diving in the South Pacific this summer.
Mark Budnitz is executive director of the National Consumer Law Center, funded by the Congressionally chartered Legal Services Corporation. The center helps lawyers in legal services offices throughout the country better represent their low-income clients facing consumer law problems.
Glenn Gavin won broad press praise for his address "The Pulse of American Democracy," delivered as part of the Garden City, Kansas, Bicentennial humanities lecture series earlier this year, sponsored by the Kansas Committee for the Humanities. Glenn, a health educator for Migrant Health Service, compared the state of American democracy today with the analysis provided by Alexis de Tocqueville following his visit to the U.S. in 1830.
Rick MacMillan and Kristina Ann Clarke were married on June 11 in Dennis, Mass. Dr.Tom Clarke served double-duty as usher and brother of the bride, and Bob Baird was also in the wedding party. Kris, a registered nurse with degrees from Skidmore and Boston College, and Rick, a Tuck graduate employed by Johnson-Schlumberger, are living in Houston.
Pete Dorsen is the adult doctor at the Community University Health Care Center, a low-income area clinic sponsored by the University of Minnesota department of Medicine. Pete's training includes two-year stints at both the Hennepin, Minn., County Medical Center and the Baltimore City Hospital.
"My fondest memories of Dartmouth," recalls Barry Machado, "go back to Tony Lupien and his teams." Many old Indian (no, make that Big Green) baseball players share Barry's sentiments, and join in giving Lup a vote of confidence after a rough (6-34) season. Now that we've got a new hockey rink, how about a domed stadium for spring sports?
Barry's more recent fond memories include five years of history teaching at Washington & Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, a Ph.D. in history attained from Northwestern University, wife Anice, and two children, Ethan three, and Amanda six months.
Ken Zuhr has retired from the U.S. Navy after a ten-year stint, married Ann Holbin, a high school math teacher in Gilroy, Calif., and has attended the recent Alumni College in Hanover.
Congratulations to class agent Paul Doscher, all regional agents, and all of us for generously supporting the 1976 Alumni Fund drive and helping the Class win its Green Derby category — a measurement of dollars and givers. We can be proud; the College is thankful. Well done, all!
