1970

Greetings, fellow ’70s. With summer on the doorstep it may seem unwise to dredge up memories of last winter but here it goes anyway. Led by our irrepressible class vice president, Mark Heller, five classmates reunited in Colorado for Dartmouth Winter CarniVail, a multi-class mini-reunion started by the class of 1965 and now hosted by the Dartmouth Club of Vail in early March. We were among close to 100 alumni plus spouses and significant others who enjoyed great ski conditions and a host of social activities. In addition to Mark and his wife, Sarah, those hitting the slopes included Ann and Bill Wilson, Wayne Bardsley and Brian Hyde. Brian is retired from a career in water resource man- agement and lives in denver. given Colorado’s recent flooding issues, it sounds as if he can lend his expertise in a consultant’s role. also joining us for cocktails on Friday evening were Marilyn and Tom Quinn, who were on their way home to Denver from a ski trip to Park City, Utah. Tom retired a few years back as director of probation services for the state of Colorado but still carries a business card suggesting you can call him if you have questions regarding justice policy issues.

On my annual winter visit to Hanover I hap- pened to pick up a copy of the Valley Business Journal and came across a feature article about Kesang Tashi, owner and founder of InnerAsia rugs in Hanover and its subsidiary Khawachen Handicraft Center in Lhasa, Tibet. Kesang re- ports, “i have spent much of my career working with Tibetan master weavers, designers and other wool craftsmen to make sure their skills pass from one generation to the next.” he lives in hanover but divides his time between there, Tibet, Nepal, India and China. Check out his retail store on Main Street on your next visit to Hanover.

Peter Logan and Bruce Blumberg, friends since freshman year in French Hall now both living in

the San Francisco Bay area, got together recently for the first time in nearly four years. Peter reports that Bruce is still working at Kaiser-Permanente but has “slowed down” to 90 percent. this “part- time” thing must be contagious because Peter says that he, too, has gone that route both as a solo-practice attorney and as a musician playing in two bands. Once a rock star, always a rock star.

the aforementioned Wayne Bardsley and co- head class agent David Graves asked me to remind classmates who have not yet made a gift to the Dartmouth College Fund for the fiscal year that ends June 30 to consider going online to the Col- lege’s website and doing so before the deadline. Our hope as a class is to reach a new (high) level of participation.

Make it a great summer.
