1982

Goooood morning, Eighty-Twooos. This is Shetty coming at you live on tape from the beautiful countryside that is North Providence, R.I. And now the news that's new and the rumors that might be true.

I failed my share of math courses so I'm not sure all of these arrivals time out properly but I have a feeling some people didn't spend all their reunion time at the class tent. Sandy and Ann Kelsey have a reasonably new baby, Casey, who made her appearance

in late '87. Sandy is an even newer proctology graduate of Dartmouth Med School. Kent and Sheila (Kay) Cooper missed having an April Fool's baby by a day.

March brought Rebecca Diane to Judi Davidson Wolf and her husband Allen (Lehigh '82). In May Jamie and KathyKnorring brought yet another baby girl into the world that is California. Jamie's pleased that Madelline doesn't take after her father and resemble a pony keg but her mother has already dubbed her "Maddog." Finally, it seems that our very own reunion chairperson, Jenny Chandler Hauge, has become mother to Camden Chandler. Named after Camden, Maine, she donned her first Dartmouth T-shirt at one week.

Now for the non-natal news. Kim(Smith) Quirk writes that she and Kent are living in Westford, Mass., with their two year-old son Lincoln and each has his/her own company to play with. Kevin Peterson plans to join the list of '82s marrying '78s when he and Vicki Smith are wed in August. Kevin is working for the Appalachian Trail Conference and he and Vicki are living in Lyme Center and raising sheep in their spare time.

Letter of the Month: Cindy WoodwardGeiger writes, "As you may have noticed by the envelope, I am in Europe. Tom '81 is working for Cargill Inc. and has been transferred he's now selling feed products. We have been here since July '87.1 am speaking a little Dutch. Our firstborn, Kenneth Earl Geiger, is now 11 months old. (With initials K.E.G. he should be a Dartmouth shoo-in, huh?)"

Special thanks to John Blum '54. He wrote to tell me that Fred Blum is currently serving his residency at UCSF with his wife and fellow Tulane School of Medicine grad, Stacey Lee. Before heading to San Fran, Fred interned at his father's hospital in San Diego.

Becki Ambrose wrote not of herself but of the current adventures of Sally McCoy. In October, Sally nearly became the first American woman to scale Mount Everest but before her party could reach the peak, they were pushed back by severe blizzard conditions. More in a future issue.

Jeanie Witte has also been getting around, but her adventures appear to have been a little safer. In February, Jeanie, like many Americans, headed south. Only she kept going, all the way to Papua, New Guinea, for a 12-day stay "diving the unexplored waters of the South Pacific." Jeanie had more to say about her other travels, but that, like the others news you have so graciously bestowed upon me, will have to wait for my next installment.
