1981
We're receiving many online Green Cards in response to Rick's reunion mailing. It's great to hear about everything you've been up to. From the sounds of it we'll have lots of 1981s in attendance at the 25th reunion in Hanover June 15-18. I'm including a few of the responses that we've received. From around the world, John Curtis comments, "Having lived in England 15 years one gets somewhat disconnected and out of reach of the alumni fundraiser phone calls—bravo to Nancy Baskin for succeeding! We also have started bringing over Dartmouth students as interns to live and work with us, which has been great for reconnecting with the College as it is today. I can highly recommend the intern concept. At 46 you can be fooled into thinking that experience is better than brains and exuberance. Nothing like children or a 20-year-old intern to straighten that out!" Marji Grant Ross plans to travel from Virginia to Hanover and reports, "Looking forward to the 25th, as are my three daughters, who can't remember our last trip to Hanover (eek), which was more than 10 years ago. (I knew I should have broken that clay pipe!) All's well in the nation's capital (well, more or less), with a decidedly New Hampshire feel, after two early snowfalls." It seems as though three kids in tow is the norm. Chuck Battey checks in from Kansas, stating, "Looking forward to returning to Hanover for the reunion. Debating whether to bring our three young boys. Twins (Sean and Kyle) will be nearly 5;Wes will be 2 years old."Maybe we can hook them up with Peter Corren's three kids from New Jersey. He plans to attend the reunion with wife, Leslie and children Alex, Danny and Katie. He left us hanging when he commented, "When I have a moment, I'll add some info about a wedding gathering in Montana. Felt like a mini-reunion at Ben Pierce's expense." We're still waiting for the details. My buddy Scott Markman provided the following update from Minnesota, "Still living in my hometown of Faribault since, graduation. Married my HTH, Laurie, right after graduation so we will be celebrating our 25 th anniversary in August. Have two children, son Alex (age 16) and daughter Samantha (age 11). I am an independent contractor selling promotional products to help companies marketing themselves and their products. I was back in Hanover for the dedication of the new rugby clubhouse this past September. It was a great weekend and is a veiy impressive facility. I hope to return for the 25th this summer." Christy (Hunter Taylor) Milhaly is going through a Green Acres phase, relocating recently to Montpelier, Vermont, from San Francisco with her husband, Marc, and daughter Abby. She says, "Vermonters scratch their heads and wonder why wed make such a move, but we are very happy to be back in New England, have felt very welcomed here and are glad to be participating in small-town life and not dealing with traffic."
The reunion committee has been working hard to provide you with a wide range of activities including a wine tasting with classmate Steve Pigniatello, tours of new facilities, academic presentations, a panel of current Dartmouth students with parents in the class of 1981 (can we be that old?), a lobster bake by the river with a steel band (think Caribbean, not Hanover winters), sporting events, admissions presentations and dinner on Baker lawn with Professor Rassias. We hope to see you all in Hanover on June 15!
