1963

With its southwestern vistas and pueblo ruins, Santa Fe, New Mexico, is a classic destination. Still many of us never got to visit the city that was home to Georgia O’Keeffe and filled with so much history. That is until October 14-18, when the class celebrates our 75th birthdays at a hotel resort in historic downtown. There will be tours, including the Georgia O’Keeffe museum, day trips to Taos and Abiquliu, where Georgia O’Keeffe lived, and a visit to Puye Cliff,s which since the late 1100s was home to Pueblo Indians, ancestors of present-day Santa Clara Pueblo people. You can take a Southwestern cooking class, enjoy a cowboy barbecue and even sip cocktails at the home of Steve Lister. To join the class for this memorable trip, go to www.dartmouth.org/classes/63 and click on “75th Birthday Bash in Santa Fe.” Nearly 100 classmates, spouses and partners have made reservations, including Tom and Evelyn Steiner, Steve and Lillian Frank, Tom and Charlene Berardino, Daryl and Joy Smith, Bob Silverman and Barbra Berlin and Al and Janet March. Don’t miss out! For questions, email co-organizer Ed Mazer at ed@themazers.com.

Steve Swirsky, Adam Heyman, Joel Werbel, Steve Kurland and family members came out in December to see Paul Binder figuratively risk his life, singing Danny Kaye and show tune favorites at the Metropolitan Room in New York. Also in town that week from Lexington, Kentucky, to visit grandchildren and enjoy their Greenwich Village pied-a-terre were Mike and Gloria Rie. A month earlier Paul Binder, a designated landmark himself, hosted the annual Living Landmarks Gala at New York’s Plaza ballroom for Joel Gray and Bernadette Peters, among others. Did you see Dave Schaefer’s great-niece and cooking prodigy Elizabeth Oakes, aged 12, on the Food Network in December? Jeff Lapic, recently divorced and retired lawyer in northern California, happily focuses on grandchildren, travel and movies. Former Newsday police columnist Len Levitt now plies that beat for newspaper amNewYork. Ken Kvistad, Anglican minister in Switzerland, was named class liaison to families of departed classmates.
