1988

Congratulations to all who helped our class set an all-time Tenth Reunion record for donations to the Alumni Fund: our total of $283,768.09 and 47 percent participation beat the previous Tenth Reunion record by $83,000! Great thanks and appreciation go to all who participated, and especially to Sal Tiano for his pledge of $50,000 that certainly put us over the top. We should also thank the (presumably anonymous) donor of the contribution that ended in $.09...? According to Hanover, the other Tenth Reunion classes stand as follows: 1989 with $161,187.70 and 37.3 percent; and 1990 with $102,270.02 and 40.4 percent. so, 1988 certainly has a great deal to be proud of, particularly among our peers. Jane (Grassing) Lonnquist, Ken Lang, and Cherise(Glick) Bransfield all deserve our thanks and appreciation for their outstanding job pulling our class fundraising effort together. WayneWeil sent a picture of his two-month-old daughter Josephine (Josie) Laura Weil wearing her own pint-sized Dartmouth T-shirt brought home by a proud papa from Reunion last month. Wayne is vice president of information technology at Merrill Lynch in New York. I'll forw ard the picture to Ed Gray for publication in the newsletter.

Now the cinematic arts: Producer Brian Duncan has just completed principal photography of his independent film Across theLine after a 20-day shoot at locations across the Mojave Desert. Quoting from the press release, "The exciting, fast-paced suspense thriller with a solid storyline explores the contrast between the American ideals of freedom, opportunity, and equality, and the harsh realities of modern life. Across the Line raises serious questions about the state of the American dream while breaking negative stereotypes regarding Latin immigrants: is America still an island of hope and opportun ity, or has it been lost in a sea of greed, racism, and violence?" Prior to producing the film, Brian earned his M.B.A. from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley, worked for three years on Wall Street in investment banking, and then managed a $5 billion division of Intel Corp. with responsibility for new business ventures.
