1985

Man, it must be the holiday season cause I got tons of mail and I can't wait to share all the news. But first, our class needs to elect a representative to the Dartmouth Alumni Council. Each class is paired with another class (we're with the '86s) and the term of the current rep expires June 30. The term is three years and the rep would have to attend two meetings per year in Hanover. Meetings are scheduled in mid- May and early December and run from Thursday to Sunday. If interested, contact Margaret Marder at mmarder0269@comcast.net.

Since everyone likes puzzles and certainly has spent time in a do-it-yourself store (wandering around unable to find anything), I thought I'd combine the two and sort of let you put together your own column. See what you think.

There is no truth to the rumor that a similar exercise came out C.H.U.G. for Chris Mulligan or D.U.M.B. for this concept in general, but it was ironic when I did this previously for Eric Wilinski, I got B.I.G. E. Wait a minute, what would we get foryou ifyou sent in some news? Whileyou ponder that, I will leave you with best wishes for a healthy, safe and humorous 2007.
