The College recently sent me the list of class legacies who are members of the class of 2000. They include Yue Ling Chiu, daughter of SinSing Chiu; Charles H. Divak, son of Michael Divak; Caroline S. Hunt, daughter of Lawrence Hunt Jr.; Jessica E. Margolin, daughter of Harold Margolin; and David W. Mulliken, son of David L. Mulliken. Congratulations to all and hope to see you at this fall's Hanover mini-reunion.
Dr. David Feldshuh is the subject of an interesting article in the November 29, 1996, edition of the Scarsdale Inquirer. David serves as the artistic director of the department of theater, film, and dance for the performing arts at Cornell University. He is also a parttime emergency room physician in Ithaca, N.Y. He has recently been awarded the university's Albert C. and Molly Phelps Bean Jr. Faculty Fellowship in Theater, Film, and Dance. The fellowship recognizes achievements in theater arts and provides $10,000 in research funds each year for three years. David is also the author of a play based on the Tuskegee experiment called Miss Evers' Boys, which has received a nomination for a Pulitzer Prize. The play was also made into an HBO film which was aired in February. After Dartmouth David received his medical degree from the University of Minnesota Medical School. He has also authored a short story that appeared in an anthology of creative work by physicians titled Emergency Room Doctors Tell Their Stories. Davis, I am certain that I echo the sentiments of the class in congratulating you on your many achievements. On the other hand, I am doubtful that I will be inundated with requests for the short story anthology, although I could be wrong.
My wife, Jean, and I recently returned from an eight-day trip to Salzburg, Austria, sponsored by the Dartmouth Alumni College Abroad program. For those of you who are interested, we wholeheartedly endorse this program, at least based on our first experience. The theme of this trip was classical music and it centered around "Mozart Week in Salzburg." We skied during the day at various Austrian ski resorts and then enjoyed concerts at night presented by several world-class orchestras. Dartmouth music professor Karen Painter accompanied us on the trip and gave four very interesting lectures on Mozart. The accommodations and restaurants were excellent and best of made many new interesting Dartmouth friends. The Alumni College offers a number of these trips, many to interesting locations, so keep alert to the mailings.
Steve Banta reports that he and his wife, Cheli, just returned from two weeks in Hawaii. "There was so much to dovolcanoes, old houses, temples, plantations, nightlife, shopping, waterfalls, visiting friends, whale watching, feasting, historic churches, war memorials that we never went swimming." Sorry to hear that you missed out on the swimming Steve those of us here in New England in March offer our profound sympathies.
As you have perhaps surmised from this column, I am again short on news of classmates and need new material, so please let us know what you are up to. Personally I would love to hear from Pete Jones, Bill Thompson, Dick Horton, Norm Leach, Tom Wise, Jerry Putnam, Marc Efron, and Bill Brown among others so PLEASE SEND NEWS! I also expect that our West Coast mini-reunion will result in updates from many of you.
