1982

You will likely be reading this the week after our 25th reunion. I'm quite sure it lived up to its billing as The Chance of a Lifetime! I'd like to thank everyone who worked so hard to make the reunion a smashing success, especially the tireless co-chairs Eric Miller, Jim Vahey and Brook Tolley Confort. Kudos to Mary Thompson Renner and Leslie Fleming for creating a keepsake that we'll all cherish for years to come. And finally, I'd like to thank Mary Conway, who did a tremendous job as our class president. Best of luck to the incoming class officers.

Now to the news. I joined 11 classmates— Rich Papert, Tom Daniels, Mike Donohue, Steve D'Antonio, John Nicholson, Linda Bornhuetter Gridley, Gary Levine (in town from Oregon), Rick Monteith, Jonathan Marvel, Jason Klein and Doug Brown— at a lunch in New York with President Wright. We spent two engaging hours talking about the state of the College and I was able to catch up with a few of the attendees. Doug works in New York for ZS Fund, a private equity and hedge fund firm. Doug and his wife, Laura, live in Tenafly, New Jersey, with their two sons and daughter (ages 11,9 and 5). Rick and I discovered that we both worked for Citigroup (it's a big place). Rick joined Citi about a year ago (from JP Morgan, where he had worked since graduation) as the global business manager/chief of staff for Citigroup Trust. Rick describes it as "certainly not the sexiest job in the world but with the Baby Boomer generation maturing and looking for help in terms of moving assets tax efficiently from one generation to the next, there are some pretty significant opportunities out there!" Jason is in his fourth year as president and CEO of Newspaper National Network LP, a private consortium of 24 major U.S. newspaper companies to market and sell newspapers as a "network" to national advertisers, both print and online. He serves on the boards of the New York City Police Foundation and the American Advertising Federation and recently joined the editorial board of the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine. Jason and his wife, Robin, have a son, Michael (15), and a daughter

Mary Sarazen Tsuboi sent in the following tidbits gleaned from her reunion call-arounds. Wes Sheridan lives in Canada with his family. He is running for a political office in hopes he can add to his community. Chris Weiss now resides in Hanover with his family. His aster Carol '83 lives in Paris and is good friends with Alex Blumrosen. Becki Ambrose works at UC Davis in California and loves the state. Karl Thurmond and Mark Salter live in Los Angeles and see each other frequently.

This is my last chance to address the great class of 1982. It has been a pleasure writing the Class Notes over the last four years; I was continually awed and inspired by your accomplishments, experiences and joie de vivre. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.
