Occasionally the Alumni Magazine staff sends me clippings from local newspapers about our classmates. A true measure of our growth, even over the last two years that I've been class co-secretary with Anna Cathcart Harvey, is how the newspaper clips have changed. In the past we'd usually be mentioned in a short paragraph for a marriage or birth of a baby. Well, now we are worthy enough to have pieces published about our careers and there are accompanying photos!
I don't know about you, but the photograph part causes me some dread.
Stephen Borg was featured (jacket, tie, and striped shirt) in several New Jersey papers announcing his promotion to director of product services for The Record, northern New Jersey's largest daily newspaper. Borg represents the fourth generation of his family in the paper, which the family founded in 1895.
David Janssen (headshot) was interviewed for an up-close-and-personal profile in the Cedar Rapids Gazette. Readers learned that if he could visit with any five people from the past, they would be Jesus Christ, any of his pre-eighteenth-century ancestors, any of Thomas Jefferson's slaves, Abraham Lincoln, and Nile Kinnick, an athlete and lowan. Which one of these do you think David wrote about in his Dartmouth application essay?
Kathleen Fallon Lambert (outdoors shot in front of ivy-covered wall) was awarded a Schepp grant to support her research in forest and wetlands ecology. Kathleen certainly is busy; she is currently project director at the Hubbard Brook Research Foundation of New Hampshire and a research fellow in the environmental studies department at Dartmouth.
Ute Bowman Otley (courtside shot) was featured in the Atlanta Constitution for turning around the 5-17 losing Cherokee Warriors girls basketball team to a 14-12 winning one in two years. This earned Ute the Coach of the Year Award and is the second time Ute has been a turnaround queen. She turned a 1-16 team to a 12-5 winning one in three seasons at her last head coach job in Jericho, Long Island. She and husband Brian live in Atlanta.
Peter Zimm wrote from Enfield, N.H., to announce his marriage to Theresa Van Leuvan '91 last July. They were married at St. Gaudens Historic Site in Cornish, accompanied by bagpipers and surrounded by Dartmouth friends Anthony Morris, Nicole Leonard '88, Eric Yarboi '92, and Bill Pahl '82. Keith Marsh '77 officiated. Peter is a marketing analyst at Split Ballbearing, a local aerospace manufacturer. Teri is a teacher. He invites friends to call or write: (603) 632-9023; .
William Boulware also wrote to bring us up to date on his life. He's bi-abodal (don't bother looking it up, I created this worddon'cha like it?). He maintains a small place in Black River Falls, Wise., where he works as in-house counsel for the Ho-Chunk Nation. He's loving his work. Recendy he represented the Nation in negotiating the first act of Congress in history whereby the United States returned and restored traditional homelands to its indigenous peoples. You go! And on weekends he returns to Madison, where he lives with his partner.
William was in New York last March and saw Kyle Blood, but not Gwen Pointer, "appointment breaker." Ever the gentleman, however, he doesn't hold a grudge. Here's the evidence: "Although Gwen and I agreed to have lunch, I understand that an emergency was sufficient reason to dis me as she did. I love her still." William is also searching for the whereabouts of David Connell, and he urges David and friends to call or visit: (715) 284-3170, .
Finally, got a very brief note from Bob Teree. He's finishing Kellogg in June and will travel for four months before moving to L.A. to work for Price Waterhouse's strategy consulting practice focusing on entertainment, media, and communications. He also wrote that Eric Lineback "moved his booming company to Vermont, where he serenely overlooks the West River." Wish I knew what company that was!
Note the new address below. I'm moving myself.
