1968

Reunion is upon us, and I'd like to start this column with a call to all singers in the class (and any other reuning class '48, '53, '63 and '73) to join in "Dartmouth Undying" (and perhaps other songs) at our class memorial service, now tentatively scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 10. I've been charged to put together a memorable (in a good way!) chorus to sing that special song. We will warm up earlier in the day. Hearty congrats to Peter Fahey, who recently won the Dartmouth Alumni Award, join- ing Mark Waterhouse, Joe Grasso, John Engelman and David Peck, prior award winners. Does our class have the most? Speaking of John, he is a candidate for the Association of Alumni executive board. Please consider him when you vote—he certainly has my vote! From past 40th reunion book calls to fraternity brothers, more news: Paul Fitzgerald is a charter member of the annual class of '6B yearly ski trip who does have a day job: as an internist and endocrinologist affiliated with the University of California San Francisco. After Dartmouth Paul went to Jefferson College of Medicine in Philadelphia, married Kathy on the Cape in 1973, spent four years in Denver before heading furtherwest. Son Brent went to Stanford and MIT, in electronic media, and daughter Erin went to University of California and has a master's in music. He reports he occasionally sees Dick Anderson and wife Barbara, whom as Dick's fiancee the Tri-Kap brothers snuck back to the East Coast long ago in a classic surprise move. Mike Zavelle has moved back to Santa Fe, New Mexico, after decades in the East (Far first, Coast more recently). His early career was in investment banking and he spent years in Hong Kong and Tokyo. From 1989 he was in New York, at Chase Manhattan, the public library and as a vice chancellor at City University of New York. But he missed the Southwest, where he had grown up, so he headed that direction, job or no job. He works for Santa Fe Community College in development. He and Lucy were married in 1971. Dave Hoffman lives in Washington State, just across the river from Portland, Oregon. He has been into journalism his entire career, moving over time from magazine journalism to the blogs and the Web, with a specialty in library and information technology. He met Rebecca, wife of 27 years, in San Francisco, where she was also in journalism; she decided at age 37 to go to medical school, ending up at Jefferson College of Medicine in part through the advice of Paul Fitzgerald (see above). She is in family practice. They have two adopted children: Natalia, 12, and Ulana, 6, both from St. Petersburg, Russia, but adopted at different times. Very belated and sad news: Dan Morgenroth died a couple years ago. Pete Wonson talked with his widow and we'll have more to share in the future. Final call: Please come! It'll be a lot of fun.
