1979

Our reunion this June celebrates our 30th year. Actually, this is only the sixth time that we've come together since graduation: a precious—maybe a priceless—moment you should experience and enjoy.

Connect with friends new and old. Come celebrate the summer solstice.

Anna Burack Wilson writes, "This oil and gas industry has been a roller coaster ride for Mike. With the price plummeting daily he's feeling fortunate to have found a place. The job market seems much like musical chairs— there are always fewer seats with each round. My daughter and I made a whirlwind trip east last summer to cover 15 colleges in 17 days, plus visiting family and Karen Thompson Dale."

Tim Ehrsam writes, "My son T.J. (16) and I had a great trip to Germany. T.J. played on a U.S. youth baseball team acting as ambassadors of the sport to Germany. We played games in Frankfort, Munich and Heidelburg. Baseball in Germany is similar to U.S. soccer 30 years ago. They have the same passion for baseball as they have for soccer. The boys made great friends with the German players. The trip was an experience my son and I will remember forever." Will Tim attend our reunion? 'Absolutely!"

Janie Simms Hamner had a great time in Hanover for the September mini-reunion! "I was invigorated by the campus beauty and impressed by the new facilities tastefully blending in with the old. I hope everyone will try to come to our 30th. I plan to come up from Dallas, where I'm in a pediatrics practice with three other women physicians. I hope that two of my three teenaged sons will join me. My husband, Pat, will come along too. He'll be disappointed if Ledyard does not have a reunion row."

Mark Sullivan and Stefanie Fenton were married October 11 in Incline Village, Nevada. Late Friday night beer pong and an early Saturday morning mountain hike overlooking Lake Tahoe preceded the Saturday wedding. The wedding party included Carl Briscoe, T. Weymouth and Hunter Melville '78. The wedding ceremony was followed by an awesome reception with dancing and partying late into the night.

Julie Sudikoff Weisman, who'll be at our reunion, wrote, "I had a short but sweet visit with Donna Gagliuso in N.Y.C. Doug and I recently returned from a trip to Israel, where we visited with our daughter Leah '10. Son Dan '08 is now working in Beijing. Oldest son Alex works as the lighting director at the Pioneer Theater in Salt Lake City. All in all we appreciate our life now and consider ourselves extremely fortunate."

Kim Henley, who also will be at reunion, writes, "I ran into Mike Jackson and his wife, Jane, at Colgate family weekend this fall. Their son Sam is a freshman there with our son Jack. Also heard that Jim Feuille's son is there too. Its fun reconnecting with classmates in unexpected places in this new phase of our lives! I know that Eve Pratt Hoar and Michelle Kane O'Donnell both have sophomores at Middlebury and have had some great reunions there with Ann Craig Hanson and husband John, who have both retired from Middlebury. During our senior spring I attended at least 79 nights of senior fence sitting, to which Beth Blatt wore 79 different outfits! I remember senior 'tails became a multi-night weekly event. My friends from Dartmouth are still some of my best friends today."

Don't miss "Return of the '79s!" This could be the most fun that you've had in 30 years.
