1966

The fabulous 40th reunion during Memorial Day Weekend continued to generate warm memories for both the 131 classmates in attendance and those who couldn't get to Hanover.

Brad and Mary Stein cut short their reunion reveling when they got word Sunday evening from their son Zachary '96 that his wife, Margaret Chang '96, had gone into labor in Washington, D.C. The couple left the Upper Valley at dawn on Monday, stopped in their Mamaroneck, New York, home to repack, and reached the nations capital by late afternoon in time to greet their first grandchild Isabel, who also has a Chinese name, Yi Jueh. The Steins made sure that a Dartmouth sweatshirt, hat, mittens and sleeper were added to their granddaughter's wardrobe before they left to tend to Zach and Margarets dog Ripken.

Jim Hourdequin was in Bennington, Vermont, during reunion weekend where his son Jim '97 married Kathryn Cunningham. The couple will be settling in the Dartmouth area. Jim works for local Lynne Properties and Kathryn will be setting up a medical practice. Jims wife, Mary, has recovered from a muscle-debilitating autoimmune disease and continues as a middle school principal in West Hartford, Connecticut. Daughter Marion, a philosophy teacher, is moving to Colorado College, and son Peter, with a masters in Asian studies, lives in Hawaii.

Albie Macdonald had a prior commitment, too—an eight-day golf trip to Wales with other Winchester (Massachusetts) Country Club members. "It was poor planning," Albie acknowledged, "but the schedulingwas done byunsympathetic Harvard types."

As a run-up to reunion Joff and Graciela Keane spent six months traveling throughout Latin America after Joff retired from the Foreign Service as U.S. ambassador to Paraguay. They hiked, surfed, rode and painted in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Costa Rica. Now they've settled in Fairfax, Virginia.

Awards to classmates: Dr. Steve Jordan, who works out of New London Hospital, was recognized as the states top internist by New HampshireMagazine.

Lance Tapley recently received a first-place news story award from the Association of Alternative Weeklies for investigative articles in the Portland Phoenix on abusive conditions in Maine's "supermax" prison.
