1964

The homing instinct is strong for our classmates from Idaho. Mike Moore was the first in his family to attend college. A church friend made a derisory remark that Mike had a chance at Dartmouth. We don’t know what happened to his friend, but Mike became Boise’s city attorney and was involved with municipal bonds. Now in private practice he works the bonding maze for area governments. He just completed an M.A. (history), which will help his writing about Pacific Northwest political history. Mike has two sons and his wife, Lynn, has two married daughters and a grandchild due in June. They took the 2005 alumni travel Danube tour, where he and Dave Hess reminisced about leading Dartmouth Young Democrats and Young Republicans, respectively.

Mike and Park Price met at Idaho Boys’ State in 1959. Park returned to Pocatello in 1979 to run Park Place Motor and, of course, to ski. Park had great intuition selling the automobile business in 2003. To help a business friend he became a bank president in 2003 on an interim basis—a position he still holds. He works with the local Dartmouth club, which has recruited successfully. He and Sharon, president of the Idaho Falls Symphony, travel often and took the alumni travel “Lewis & Clark” trip. They have two married children, son Park IV and daughter Cindy, and three granddaughters, all in Boise.

Rich Fields was Park’s high school classmate in Pocatello. Rich says he made a mistake leaving Dartmouth after sophomore year to join the Army, where he worked in electronic surveillance. Later he worked in the auto industry in Detroit and completed his education at the University of Michigan (M.A. in resource ecology). He retired to Portland, Oregon.

Dennis Stevens, Ph.D., M.D., attended Dartmouth for one year, but has good memories of the freshman basketball team and being a photographer for The D. Since 1979 he has been seeing patients and directing a research program at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Boise. He discovered the flesheating bacterium that causes streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. He edited and contributed to Streptococcal Infections: Clinical Aspects, Microbiology and Molecular Pathogenesis (2000). He received the Infectious Disease Society of America Citation in 2000 for infectious disease research accomplishments. His married daughter Marisa has three sons and lives in Boise. Wife Amy is also a microbiologist.

Two ’64s actually moved to Idaho, including Tom Campion, Ph.D. (Sun Valley), a retired lawyer. He works with charitable foundations, skis and cycles. He also found a second calling, teaching law and literature at the University of Colorado. He has two daughters, Ashley ’94 and Berit ’96, and three grandchildren. His wife, Ellen, is an interior designer and world-class cyclist.

Steve Sherman, M.D., was a radiologist in Pocatello, where he moved after residency. He and Gale, a librarian, retired to Tuscon, Arizona, but retain a fondness for Idaho. They have two children, Alex (Middlebury) and Ashley (Skidmore). Steve and Gale attended three reunions and recently visited Bill Riggs in Washington, D.C.
