I am writing this column after returning from the groundbreaking ceremony for the first phase of the new John H. Berry Sports Center at Dartmouth. This spectacular $8.85-million sports complex will house squash courts, racquetball courts, a basketball arena, and an aerobics and dance studio amongst other facilities and will be located in the general area where the Davis Rink currently stands. The Berry Center promises to be a great boost to the College's recreational, intramural, and Ivy League sports program.
Future participants at the new center may well be Thad King Jr. and Nathaniel Keller. Nathaniel was born earlier this year, and he and his sister, Heidi Marie, bring the Keller household to four. MikeKeller is currently an attorney with the firm of Van Cott, Bagely, Cornwall, and McCarthy in Salt Lake City. His wife, Faye, is a former librarian who currently teaches tennis part time.
Thad King and his wife, Suzanne, celebrated the birth of young Thad this past summer. They now have three children. While taking a break from his responsibilities as class treasurer, Thad, an attorney, works as an executive with the Spectrum Group, an Atlanta real estate development company. He has been particularly active as a developer in Palm Beach and Hilton Head, S.C. (nothing like working in Appalachia, Thad!). Suzanne is an orthodontist with her own practice in Atlanta. Congratulations to you both.
A report through the anthropology department at the College states that TysonGibbs is currently in the antique business somewhere in the Nashville, Tenn., area.
And although this news may be some- what dated, 1 have been told that MikeGalica, along with his wife, Christine, and his daughter, Stephanie, is residing in Holden, Mass. Mike is a physician practicing internal medicine in the Greater Worcester area.
That's it for this month. When you have a minute, put pen to paper and send some news. Until then, happy trails
