1980

Joe Mannes is alive and well deep in the heart of Dallas, Texas (at least as of December 2, 1996—some-times the lead time on these columns is a little long). He is married to a wonderful woman, Tori, with whom he has three daughters, Sarah Margaret, Rachel, and Molly. (Ail Southerners have at least one relative somewhere in the family tree with a double name.) Joe and Tori met thanks to her first cousin, James I. Griffin IV. First National Bank of Boston originally brought Joe to Texas in January of 1983. Declining to return to Boston in 1987, Joe resigned from First National and joined a local investment bank, joining one month before the crash. In February of 1996 Joe left the deal business to become the CFO of a company providing real-time flight simulations on the internet. Joe has been to Abilene, but he does not comment on whether that city is home to the prettiest women he has ever seen. He has never seen the yellow rose, but he has seen bluebonnets, and he attends the state fair every year to eat corn dogs and a turkey leg.

Steve Cook is a lawyer in Portland, Ore., and describes himself as a "business jack of all trades," performing a wide variety of transactional work.

As you may remember, Steve and Marianne Parshley were a Dartmouth couple when we were all in Hanover, and they still are. These days, however, they are joined by their three daughters. Portland is Marianne's hometown and a great place to live. Steve and Marianne enjoy a lot of outdoor activities. For her 40th birthday Marianne and her sister spent four days backpacking in most of the way around Mount Adams, one of the many Northwest volcanoes. Steve, his three girls, and his brother-in-law joined tire two women for the last two days of the adventure. Then the volcano erupted in a violent explosion and they were all buried in ash for 48 hours before rescuers found them! (Not really, but it makes a great story.)

Instead, the whole group was eaten up by mosquitoes, but they enjoyed incredible views of Mt. Rainier, Mt Hood, and Mt. St. Helens. Marianne's brother, Jeff Parshley, is based in Reno. Every fall Steve and Marianne meet Jeff and his wife, Teri, in Ashland, Ore., for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

Bruce Duthu is a tenured professor at Vermont Law School. Bruce continues to teach once a year as a visiting professor in Native American studies at Dartmouth. At Dartmouth Bruce teaches "Native Americans and the Law," a course cross-listed between the NAS and government departments. On sabbatical next year Bruce plans to spend at least one semester in Australia, where he will be a visiting professor at the University of Wollongong co-teaching an indigenous peoples course. Bruce has been married to Hilde Ojibway for over 18 years. Their oldest child, Lisa, is a first-year student at Central Michigan University. Joe 11 and Alanna (almost) 5 help keep their parents young.
