1976

Our class is now represented by two classmates on the College Board of Trustees. David Shribman, Washington bureau chief for the Boston Globe, was recently elected by the Board to fill one of seven charter seats, and Ann Fritz Hackett returns as a Trustee for a special two-year term to fill the vacancy created when Robert Reich ’6B resigned to serve as Secretary of Labor.

Our class is also well represented by GaryLove, who recently received rite College’s Young Alumni Distinguished Service Award. For those who missed the citation reprinted in die October issue, Gary earned his M.B.A. after graduating from Dartmouth and spent ten years with prestigious investment firms prior to founding his own company in 1988. As president of the Black Alumni Association he raised funds to establish the Ernest Everett Just ’O7 chair in biology at the College. With his wife, Pamjoyner ’79, he created and fund- ed die Gary L. Love prize, which goes to the year’s outstanding senior in African Ameri- can studies, as well as a special fund to spon- sor Tucker Foundation speakers. Two years ago Gary instituted a Dartmoudi Bound pro- gram at his high school, through which he flies seven to ten prospective students to Hanover for a first-hand look. He has also served in numerous voluntary capacities as a member of the class and Alumni Council.

I received a note from Tom Brooks ’39, who sent along an interesting article about his son Peter Brooks, reflecting a change of values that may be linked to our age. After nine years with a large Boston law firm, Peter and his wife, Cathy, who was a prosecutor with die Middlesex County district attorney’s office, left the big city to form their own law firm in their hometown of Sherborn, Mass. Peter explains that he had developed a healthy prac- tice in Boston, with numerous national and international clients, but that it did not require the Boston location. Working in Sherborn offers more flexibility for Peter and Cathy, who have two children, and saves a good two hours daily in commuting time, allowing more time for community involvement. With the assistance of one of their law partners, Peter and Kathy last year adopted a Ukrainian baby boy, Alex. They also have a five-year-old.
