1963

It seems no matter where you turn there's a '63 son or daughter in Hanover, There's Giano Cromley '95 of Billings, Mont., following in the footsteps of Brent Cromley Jr. '91 and Brent Cromley Sr., who's winding up his two-year term in the Montana Legislature.

There's Peter Kochansky '94, whose dad, Gerald Kochansky, ran what he believes was his last Boston Marathon last month. And Jeff Greilsheimer '94, son of New York attorney Bill Greilsheimer. And Jenny Floren '93, daughter of New York investment manager Doug Floren. And more, many more.

Brent Cromley still has a daughter in high school and feels that now is as good a time as ever to get politics out of his system. When he leaves the Montana Legislature in December, Dartmouth's representation will drop to less than four percent. Harry Fritz '60 of Missoula and Bill Yellowtail '69 of Wyola are in the state Senate. Brent will return full-time to corporate defense litigation. He often runs into Shelton Williams, an attorney in Missoula. Brent's wife, Dorothea, teaches music at Eastern Montana College.

He also specializes in forensic assessments, teaming with lawyers and psychiatrists on personal injury, insanity, and family law cases, for example. Gerald is in touch with Lloyd Cymrot in Tiburon, Calif. Besides Peter at Dartmouth, Gerald and Chris, a freelance editor, have a daughter in high school.
