1966

Noel Fidel is president-elect of the Dartmouth Alumni Council, a prestigious position requiring an active leadership role in the sometimes passionate public meetings and top-level caucuses during the twice yearly weekend-long Alumni Council meetings. Fortunately, Noel has considerable experience dealing with different points of view. He is in his 20 th year as a judge in Arizona—five on the trial court and 15 on the court of appeals. Noel is looking forward to retiring from the court and returning to law practice, specializing in mediation and appeals.

Anne, Neal's French-born wife of 25 years, teaches French in high school and took Professor Rassias's seminar for language teachers last fall. Sons Nathan and Louis are both at Dartmouth and are swim team mates-Nathan is co-captain. Alexander is 14 and "looking to do something adventurous." And, oh yes, Noel, a Barbary Coast stalwart in his college days, still plays a mean jazz trumpet.

The irrepressible Chuck Sherman represents the Washington, D.C., region on the Alumni Council. Chuck currently builds data resources and does policy research for the National Institutes of Health. He has developed Web sites to help doctors stay current with new medical knowledge and earn continuing credits. Daughter Emily lives nearby in Fairfax, Virginia. Chuck, who loves nature, kayaks, growing vegetables and ham radio, has a firm set of deeply felt beliefs: "I have yet to outgrow my love of Dartmouth, my preference for Macintosh computers and my belief that the majestic, native moose is the best choice if a new mascot is ever selected for dear old Dartmouth." The fact that Chuck wears a horned hat and tucks an Apple laptop under his arm at most College functions shows he's a guy who lives by his convictions.
