1986

"Where the Wild Things Went: 15 Years Later." Remember Winter Carnival our senior year? Yes, folks, it is reunion time. Friday,June 15, to Sunday,June 17,2001, is the big weekend. As at our 10th, there will be joint events with the '87s and '85s. What we have agreed to do so far is a joint dinner on Friday evening, a joint panel on Saturday and a joint memorial service on Sunday. We will also jointly sponsor an open mike at the Top of the Hop on Saturday evening. The idea of a joint picnic on Saturday was vetoed by all three classes. Plans are furiously underway. We do have a core committee that will lead the charge on all fronts, but we're looking for people to join these committees to make each piece work even better. We'll need people before and during reunion. So, don't be shy! The committee chairs are as follows: Joy Turnheim,co-chair (vox86jkt @aol.com); Liz MoClintock, acting co-chair (and willing to hand off to someone else who'd like to be involved!) (lmcclint@cmgroup.org); Erik Colberg, treasurer (erik@tcopeland.com); Andrea Lordan, registration (andrea-hugh@ email.msn.com); Laura Gillespie and Dawn Carey, catering (laura.l.gillespie@dartmouth.edu and decarey@aol.com); John Marchiony, newsletter (jmarchiony@capitalyst.com or john@marchiony.com); Sarah Page, reunion giving (spage@h-s.com)

Still left to fill are entertainment committee and children's program. Here are descriptions of each job. Entertainment: Responsible for locating, booking and making arrangements for all reunion entertainment from music at the cocktail reception to the band on Saturday night. Can also help coordinate other activities such as athletics (tennis, golf, rafting, hiking) and the memorial service. Burgie Howard and Davida Dinerman have offered to help this person find a band.

Children's Program: Just like it sounds, organizing events for the kids. The College has a babysitting service, but if we have folks organizing this aspect it makes it easier to get information to parents in advance, and the events seem to run more smoothly.

Please feel free to send any of the above committee members an e-mail with questions, ideas or if you're interested in volunteering for a committee. Also, bookmark our class Web site www.alum.dartmouth.org/classes/86/ to stay apprised of news and information.

Elizabeth Pitt married Jeffrey Leane (pronounced "Lane"—Princeton '85) in April, and they nowlive in a "tree house' in Mill Valley, California (there are a lot of redwood trees and the house blends with the environment). There were six alums at the wedding: Grace (Jung) Lee, Karen (Boylan) Bushkov, Amanda Reed, Wendy Reed, Terry Parker' 85 and Tito Autrey '85. Grace and her husband, Joon Lee '85, have two girls. Elizabeth still works at Oracle but telecommutes some days. Sharon Belanger is now happily married to a wonderful man named Paul Showalter. The wedding took place on April 29 on a perfect spring day. In attendance were Sheila Belanger Spurr '88 (sister of the bride), Kathy Gussman '85 as the maid of honor, Beverly Nickerson and Milinda Daye' 87. A truly mul-ti-class reunion! Sharon and Paul met while she was a freshman at Dartmouth and he was working in White River Junction. They connected again by chance in the Washington, D.C., area after more than 10 years apart. The couple will continue to reside in Arlington, Virginia.
