1980

T is for our Twentieth Reunion, coming up very soon, June 16-18 to be exact. Wis for our new class web site, which Leilani Crane is feverishly working on. You can find the class of '80 web site by visiting the Dartmouth home page. If you can offer any advice or suggestions, send Leilani an e-mail at artemistex@usa.net.

E is for the excitement that children add to our lives. Mary and John Wilen had their first child, Dustin Arthur, on Aug. 28. Dustin weighed in at six pounds, five ounces and measured 20 inches. Congratulations! Chris and Jeff Sawyer, along with their three children Jessica, Jamie and Jared, are living in Farmington, Conn. Jeff writes: "I have taken inspiration from my kids and have taken up the clarinet, playing soccer and skiing. I hope the old bones will hold out." Marianna Grossman Keller is new to the role of "soccer mom." Marianna's children Sophie and Reta have just entered first grade in Palo Alto, Calif. Besides all of the "mom" things—volunteering at the school (including on the school farm) and attending soccer practices (and supplying the snacks)and lending support to her husband, Arthur (who is immersed in a new e-commerce company), Marianna finds time to work part time at Sun Microsystems, play music, organize the annual block party and volunteer at the synagogue. Greetings from Vienna, Austria: Amy and Ed Rowland send an open invitation to any classmate passing through Austria. Amy and Ed have three daughters: Lainie,Helene and Audrey. All three are in pre-school, where they are learning the German language. Ed is working for Kraft Foods International and recently worked with a team that completed two divestitures and one acquisition. One divestiture was the Kraft Confectionary Factory in St. Petersburg. The factory is a IS-minute walk from the Dartmouth LSA location at the State University.

N is for notoriety. Meg CoughlinLePage has been elected to the position of president of the Class Presidents Association. Under Meg's leadership as our class president, our class received the 1999 Special Recognition Award at Leadership Weekend. The award states: "The class of 1980 knows how to maintain the spirit and camaraderie that has been its hallmark since it left the Hanover Plain almost two decades ago." Congratulations, class of '80! Also of notorious distinction at Leadership Weekend was Marc Lewis. Marc is president of the Club Officers Association and presided at the general session for all club officers.

T is for Treasurer of the Year, which was awarded to our very own Susan GreenSpagnola for her hard work and dedication as our class treasurer. Congratulations, Susan!
