1984

Well Jim and I expected our emails to be overflowing by now with interesting tidbits of information about our 1984 classmates. Seeing that this is not the case, we had to do our own information gathering. As I am writing this in August, reunion is still fresh in my mind. What really blew me away was attempting to have a conversation with Steve Yeces in the Dartmouth Cos While I had to make a mad dash to prevent my 4-year-old from throwing his new Dartmouth football into the display of Dartmouth glassware, Steve calmly pointed out his son, who was applying to Dartmouth and had his interview that day. I was able to have a number of great conversations with people. Fran O'Donoghue is still teaching and coaching at Choate Rosemary in Connecticut, and still loving it. Lucia Jaekson is ministering—and if you listened to the Jeopardy game at the Saturday night dinner, you would know that she has married more of our classmates than anyone else (in a professional capacity). If you happened to take a jog around Occom Pond, you would have passed the home of Kathy Zug, who is now a dermatologist at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. Cary Hastings Plomondin and Carla Small discovered that they have something in common at the reunion; both are playing ice hockey in women's hockey leagues. Bruce Bagdasarian was on the phone purchasing a house when I bumped in to him in the front of the Dartmouth Bookstore (what did we do before cell phones?). Agroup of gendemen from the football team participated in a golf outing at reunion and rumor has it that Chris Cogguillo took the opportunity to get some swimming in also.

There were a number of our classmates who were unable to join us in Hanover as they were expecting. Julie Levenson and her husband, Paul Pittman, welcomed Allison Brooke Pittman on July 21. Julie, Paul and Allison are now residing in Manhattan and Julie will be returning to work at Bear Stearns after her maternity leave. Robyn Fishman Kerner and her husband, Lou, also welcomed a new little one, Jack Kerner, born on June 27. Jack joins brothers Max (5) and Cole (2) and I'm sure these three boys will keep Robyn and Lou busy.

Deborah Schupack has written the book TheBoy on the Bus and she led a book discussion at her hometown library—kudos to Deborah. Peter Garfield is the artist-in-residence at the College this fall semester. Since the inception of this program in the 1960s there has only been one other Dartmouth graduate awarded this honor. As part of the residency, Dartmouth will be producing a catalogue and a show of Peter s work in the Hopkins Center galleries. Gene Haldeman was named counsel at Thacher Proffitt & Woods New York, New York, office in the firm's structured finance department. Bill Asher is the chairman of Vivid Entertainment. Mollie Hale Carter was appointed to the board of directors of Westar Energy. Mollie is also on the board of directors of Archer Daniels Midland; she chairs the board of Sunflower Banks Inc., and is vice president of Star A. Inc. She currently is living with her husband and two children in Shawnee Mission, Kansas. (But Mollie, what do you do in your free time?)
