1966

Where can you go from barbecue at the Bema, to buffet at a ski lodge, to tablecloths in the Webster Room? Where else can you gain valuable insights at a panel on societal issues moderated by journalist Peter Prichard and learn how to sharpen your investment strategy from a group of gurus led by entrepreneur Bob Serenbetz? And what's the best place for DJ jive, live music or the fabulous Aires?

If you answered "the Class of 1966 35th Reunion" to any (or all) of these questions you win—and qualify to join the gang in Hanover from Monday, June 11, to Thursday, June 14. First step, of course, is to send in your registration card. And if it's not handy, either drop reunion chairman and tireless worker for good times with good folks Al Keiller 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/year35reunion.

George Emlen has always loved music...and the Aires. Even as he became a Chinese linguist in the Navy, a blacksmith in New Mexico and a small-town newspaper editor, he always found time to sing in local chorales and play the accordion in contra dance bands.

So it was natural that he should earn a master's degree in choral conducting from the New England Conservatory and direct and perform for musical groups in Maine after his wife, Jan, founded a school there. Their children cellist Hannah, 25, and actor Sasho, 22, were surrounded by music and theater.

When the family returned to Boston in 1984 George started teaching music at the Noble and Greenough School in Dedham. He soon wandered into a rehearsal of the famous CambridgeChristmas Revels, one of New England's premier musical events. He has been key reveler ever since, assuming the challenging role of musical director in 1998.

"I think the chorus is the most important element of any Revels production," George said before the 2000 run last December. "The one constant people come expecting every year is a stage full of people singing." And George got the stage full singing well once again. The 2000 Revels was a smash hit.

Steve Nash has been named the first director of the Nasher Sculpture Center, a 2.5-acre site in the heart of the Dallas Art District which will display works by such renowned artists as Moore, Calder and Picasso. They will be drawn from the collection of philanthropist Raymond Nasher, considered one of the finest in the world. Steve earned a Ph.D. in art history from Stanford and had previously served as deputy director and chief curator of the Dallas Museum of Art. He was most recently associate director and chief curator at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, with which he will retain an affiliation. Steve and Carol have two children.

William Morgan, professor of architecture at Roger Williams University, wrote a thoughtful piece in Art New England magazine about the Vermont landscape and the state's struggle to foster economic development while preserving its unique environment.

Lee Sandler, a partner in the Miami law firm of Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg, has been specializing in intellectual property and customs and international trade law for 31 years. "The work and challenges always change," he reports. Wife Diane is a psychiatric social worker, while Scott, 30, writes ad copy for Chiatt Day in San Francisco and Julie, 27, is a clinical social worker in Miami.

Try to make it the class reunion. It will be an even better experience than you might anticipate. And stay in touch with the class via the Alumni Magazine.
