"73 Coming Together in 1998"—Only one month until our June 18-21 25th Reunion weekend in Hanover. Not too late to sign up for the program and to make on-campus reunion housing arrangements. Never too late to make an Alumni Fund pledge as long as it's paid off by June 30.
Chip Sleeper reports from NYC that he married Fran Lipman in 1996 on the ninth tee of his golf club.

When not playing golf, Chip is a partner in his NYC advertsing agency, Grace & Rothschild, that includes Land Rover, Mobil, and Ernst & Young among its clients.

With Georgia on my mind, we highlight a few Peach State residents. TV sports broadcaster Bob Varsha has been seen and heard by classmates channel-surfing the wide world of televised sporting events.

Vicki and son Imani 8 returned to Hanover last fall for the 25th anniversary celebration of coeducation at Dartmouth.
