Editorial writer extraordinaire and columnist Guy MacMillin had a passion for French and rock and roll. As a disc jockey on WDCR he satisfied his musical desires, under his longtime nickname "Rock" MacMillin. After graduation he married in France and waited while his wife, une Frangaise, sorted out visa issues. There he wrote a bit for L'Express. On returning he taught high school French for 14 years and coauthored a French textbook. Simultaneously he began writing a column for regional newspapers that earned him editorial page responsibility for The KeeneSentinel, a position he held for 10,000 editorials. He says he hopes he influenced community opinion in the process. Guy, who has also been an overseer for WDCR, has a son, a daughter and five grandchildren. He is retired with his wife, Cynthia, in Westmoreland, New Hampshire.

Graduate school in art histoiy at Harvard took him and art historian wife Kathryn to Italy in pursuit of thesis material. He has taught at Haivard, Delaware, Texas and the University of Pennsylvania. He has curated many exhibitions, including of works by Antonio Mancini and Childe Hassam in New York and Philadelphia, for which his catalogues and books are highly regarded. Ulrich and Kathryn have two children, Margaret, a graduate of Berkeley and MIT, and William '02, who is completing his surgical residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

Arriving ar Dartmouth from the American School of Paris, Bruce Michel was undecided about a field of study. He was a skilled skier, member of the cross-country team and then ski instructor at the Skiway. Bruce was passionate about riding and repairing motorcycles. It was his curiosity in understanding how motors work that piqued his interest with the printing presses used by graphic artist and professor of art Ray Nash. Bruce pursued his newly uncovered fascination with graphic art. Professor Nash became his long-term mentor and guide. Nash arranged a one-year position at the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp, then guided Bruce to the school of graphic design at Yale, where he earned an B.F.A. and M.F.A. He has taught and worked as a graphic artist and entrepreneur. He and his partners were actively involved with production of the Time-Life Series of books. Currently he owns Michel Design Works, which produces gift items. His wife, DeDorah, is his partner in life and business.
