1966

Nine years ago Barry Macado retired from the history faculty at Wash- ington & Lee University in Lexing- ton, Virginia. Since “retiring” as a professor of modern U.S. history, Barry has published a highly regarded book, In Search of a Usable Past: The Marshall Plan and Postwar Reconstruction Today, and lectured at the Washington & Lee Alumni College, including a series on Vietnam.

Now, after 40 years of teaching fourth through sixth grades, Barry’s wife, Anice, has retired, too. The couple celebrated with a trip to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, visiting with Pete and Mary Barber on Cape Cod, classmate Ted Amaral and Bill Engster ’67. They fondly swapped tales about two of the larger-than-life coaches at Dart- mouth during our tenure: Doggie Julian and Tony Lupien. The couple then set off on a two-week tour of historical sites (naturally) to Spain and Portugal, where, as New Bedford, Massachusetts- bred Barry says, “the name ‘Machado’ is not un- known by the locals.”

There was an extra measure of green in “col- orful Colorado” last May when Rick and Bonnie Reiss proudly watched as their son, Michael ’06, and Elizabeth Right ’04 were married in the Den-

ver Art Museum. Candy and Gene Nattie made the trip from their home in the Green Mountain State to be on hand. “For me,” Rick reports, “being sur- rounded by a large number of Dartmouth grooms- men and bridesmaids was one of the highlights.”

John Pappenheimer’s new young adult nov- el, Fast Hands, published by Epicenter Press Inc., the premier publishers of books on Alaska subjects, is now available on Amazon and else- where. It’s a coming-of-age tale set in the rough and tumble fishing culture of southeast Alaska. John knows that world well, having spent time working on a fishing boat in Ketchikan.

Congratulations to my class communica- tions compadres Erv Burkholder and Bob Cohn for winning the Dartmouth Class Newsletter Editors of the Year Award for classes 26 years out and older (we certainly qualify!). They have teamed to publish highly polished, information- rich, entertaining newsletters that have helped to build and sustain strong bonds of friendship.

Both started their active participation in the life of the College at Hanover. Erv played football and lacrosse and was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Casque & Gauntlet. Bob wrote for the Jacko and worked tirelessly at WDRC. They both received M.B.A.S (Stanford for Erv, Tuck for Bob) and built successful business careers. Erv recently retired as chief financial officer at StreamCenter Inc. Bob is senior consumer marketing director for publisher Bonnier Corp.

As the award citation states: “Your celebra- tion of the class of ’66 community sets the stan- dard for what a class newsletter can do both for any class and for Dartmouth.”
