1977

Greetings! Winter is almost over, yet I find myself heading back up to New Hampshire for another round of skiing—I juscan’t get enough of snow and cold weather. Remember that line from our alma mater about the “granite of New Hampshire in their muscles and their brains?” It must run in my family, as my youngest daughter, Kimberley McKee ’06, is going to hike the Appalachian Trail this spring before starting graduate school for a degree in urban planning this fall. What’s a worried mother to do but try to join her at some point along the way. I wish I’d paid a little bit more attention to the DOC back in the day! If anyone out there has some experience in this hike, please fill me in.

Anne Goode Stalker checked in from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. She wrote: “I shed a tear for the death of Neal Webber. I first met him skiing at Killington during the winter of 1973. We just knew we had both applied to Dartmouth. Then, as luck would have it, he and Roger Ulrich were roommates in Butterfield practically below my dorm room. I was in their room all the time, for the laughter never stopped. At our 30th I sat next to Neal at the Dartmouth Skiway. I suspected that I would never see him again. He told me the story of falling in love with his wife. He had the best heart.” Anne and her husband, Peter, are in their third year in Wyoming, live next to the Snake River and get a lot of skiing in.

Jeff McKee checked in from the West Coast with news of a mini-reunion recently held in Jupiter, Florida. I’m not at liberty to say, but I think it was a meeting of members of one of those secret societies we weren’t supposed to know about on campus! In attendance were Ted Wingate, Al Gordon, Gary Rogers, Bob Overheiser, Ted Hunt, John Hart, Doug Ireland and Charlie Krupansky. What a rogue’s gallery! Al rented a top floor suite and many adult beverages were enjoyed and memories shared. Showing what a small world it is, Jill and Gary Rogers’ son attends Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, and his freshman roommate is Ted Nichols, son of Larry Nichols ’76

Alan Folz was recently recognized in Barron’s as one of the top 1,000 financial advisors. Alan has been a financial advisor with Smith Barney in Dallas for 29 years and is a senior vice president and portfolio manager and a member of the firm’s director’s council.

I’d love to hear from more of you—take a moment to drop me an e-mail or log on to Facebook and find me. I haven’t put up any pictures yet—just recently found my freshman book and I’m still trying to get over how scary my picture was in that!
