Dave Schaefer is winner of the 1998-99 Dartmouth Alumni Award for exceptional service to the College. The coveted award was presented by David Cook '57, president of the Alumni Council, at the fall Leadership Weekend attended by leaders of all Dartmouth associations classes, and clubs. Schaef, it was pointed out, has been president of our class three times, newsletter editor three times, secretary, reunion chairman, and member of all seven reunion committees. Then there has been membership on the class executive committee, Alumni Council, presidency of Class Newsletters Association, class agent, and participation in a continuing list of college, class, club, and community activities. Schaef also conceived and co-founded the Dartmouth Executive Network, an independent search and placement firm connecting Dartmouth graduate school graduates with corporations. And those, as we say in baseball, have been his tangible contributions.

And speaking of service, let's give a big cheer for John Kubacki who as head agent for reunion giving helped to raise $450,000 that was turned over to President Freedman at the 35 th Reunion in June.
