1966

You've read the letter, seen the logo and, in fact, you know the cast very well. Now its time to type the "35th Annual Class Reunion" on your Palm Pilot or, if you're like me, pencil it on the calendar from your dry cleaner. Those dates again are Monday, june 11, to Thursday, June 14.

Reunion chair Al Keiller has promised blue skies and warm nights, lots to see and do and the fellowship, war stories, reminiscences and renewed (and new) friendships that Dartmouth reunions are designed for. If you've been to a class reunion, you know what we mean. If you haven't, this is the time to give it a try. You'll know more people and have a better time than you might think.

First step, of course, is to send in that little Green (of course) Card from the reunion mailing package. And if it's not handy, either drop Al a line at 7 Elcy Way, Simsbury, CT 06070-1040 or check out the reunion Web site at www.alum.dartmouth.org/classes/66/ news/year3reunion.

Jim Dorr has been named a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, a prestigious organization that recognizes outstanding trial lawyers and works to improve standards and the administration of justice. Jim, who joined the Chicago firm of Wildman, Harrold, Allen & Dixon after earning his law degree from Northwestern in 1969, has been a partner since 1976. He focuses on civil trial work with an emphasis on product liability and has tried cases in more than 20 states.

After a 30-year career conducting significant research in the fields of virology and immunology, Dr. Harry Greenberg has been named senior vice president, research and development, and chief scientific officer at Aviron, a blopharmaceutical company in Mountain View, California. Harry will be responsible for all R&D programs, including Flu Mist, an influenza vaccine.

For the past 17 years Harry was on the faculty of the Stanford University School of Medicine, most recently serving as senior associate dean for research. He has authored or co-authored chapters for more than 40 textbooks and 250 papers, and also chaired the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee of the U.S, Food and Drug Administration.

Chan Newton considers himself "very blessed" to have spent the last nine years as a chaplain and bereavement coordinator at the hospice in Manchester, New Hampshire. He works with dying patients and their families. Chan has been married for the past four and a half years to the Rev. Virginia Jones-Newton, pastor of the United Methodist Church, in their hometown of Suncook, New Hampshire. Chan received a 2000 Good Samaritan Award for pulling his dad, class of 1928, and mom out of their burning home.

Co-head class agents Peter Pilchard and Bob Spence have thanked the class for last year's Alumni Fund efforts. Collectively, 334 '66s (that's 49 percent—and a more controversy-prone correspondent might ask where the other 340 of us were!) contributed nearly $209,000 out of the total of $23-million-plus raised for the cause. Of course we should thank them for organizing and persevering throughout the year.

Among those new millennium resolutions please include (1) attending our 35th reunion with all the kith and kin you can muster, (2) supporting the College and (3) letting us know what you and your family are doing, so we can pass the news along to old friends.

Best wishes for a healthy, happy and fulfilling new year.
