1981

Many of you are taking advan- tage of our online Green Card to report your news and Rick and I are ecstatic about it. Now we can stop making things up about all of you and repoit the actual facts! Just log onto our class Web site at www.dartmouth.org/classes/81 and click on "Green Card" to let us know what's going on with just one click of the finger. It can't get any easier than that. On second thought, if you don't know how to do it then just ask your teenage child!

I'm actually writing this column in Florida, where Bob and I have taken the kids for a vacation to escape the Upper Valley mud season and re-acquaint ourselves with some warmth and sunshine. I'm very jealous of Susan McLaughlin Jangro, who gets to enjoy this weather year-round. Susan reports: "Joe (Jangro) '82, and I have been in Ponte Vedra, Florida, for the last 12 years raising four boys ages 17-6. No hockey players but lots of other sports. Anyone headed to Jacksonville for the Super Bowl give us a ring—we can always make room." How great does that sound? Susan might regret that offer....

Doug Bates opted for the online card to catch us up on the last two very hectic years of his life. Doug married Katya Tsaioun in September 2002. They had a Buddhist wedding ceremony followed by a traditional Russian wedding celebration (Katya came to the United States from Leningrad in 1989). Mike Peterson and Steve Levitan '82 were there. Doug recently started his own consulting firm, Aderit Internet Marketing Consulting (www.aderit.com), and has been busy renovating an old house that he and Katya purchased in Belmont, Massachusetts.

Julliette Rossant contacted me about her new book that was published this spring: "As a classical archaeology graduate from Dartmouth, I never envisioned myself writing the 'Celebrity Chef column for the Forbes annual 'Celebrity 100' issue. The ensuing book, Super Chef, I felt compelled to write as column space shrank with each issue while the chefs opened up to me more and more. For Super Chef I chose to chronicle the adventures of six of Americas top chefs: Wolfgang Puck, Charlie Palmer, Todd English, Mary Sue Milliken, Susan Feniger and Tom Colicchio."

I recently had the very great honor of making a special presentation to one of our classmates, Douglas Tyson. In January Douglas received the Martin Luther King Social Justice Award for On going Commitment from Dartmouth College at a ceremony in Hanover. He was one of four recipients for the Social Justice Award selected from over 300 nominees and was chosen because of his work in inner-city Washington, D.C., teaching and coaching the It's Academic team at Benjamin Banneker Academic High School. Douglas recently became the principal of Thurgood Marshall Academy Public Charter High School. Douglas and his wife, Tessa Cholmondeley, live with their son, Spencer (1), in Bethesda, Maryland.
