1976

1976

Do you realize what a fascinating cast of characters (emphasis on characters) makes up our class from puppeteer Betsy Tobin (nowornevertheatre.com) to painter-farmer-hay house dweller David Brown (davidbrownpaintings.com) to entrepreneurhometown revitalizer Rich Horan?

In an attempt to touch on the activities of as many of our amazing 918 classmates as possible, I’ve enlisted our tech guru Joe Jasinski to track names mentioned in these columns, so I cover as many as possible during my tenure. Thanks to the following bold (in every way) classmates for responding to my nosey emails! Jennifer Kintzing Cadoff has made a seemingly seamless transition from an illustrious journalism career to the art world. Jen’s joyous artwork (jennifercadoff. com) has already been featured in high-profile shows such as the Art of the Northeast. Having worked in biology, archaeology, and law, Michael Arwe will conclude his favorite career chapter as a high school Latin teacher in 2019. He will then embark on a dream he says “has been with me since that freshman trip in 1972: hiking the Appalachian Trail, Georgia to Maine, with my best friend since seventh grade.”

Adrienne Alexander is also rewarding others through teaching. In her Los Angeles class called “Transformation Tuesdays” she teaches “six fundamental components of human behavior, along with tools for life to aid in the transformation” her clients seek. Remembering Adi’s shining stage presence, we are not surprised she is also teaching acting and, with husband Russ Foreman, a weekly meditation class. Look for her book, The More Love Club, advertised in this issue! I was thrilled to catch another Angeleno, golden-voiced Dartmouth Aire Paul Lazarus, on America’s Got Talent singing with the amazing Angel City Chorale in a moving p erformance that, as of September, had catapulted the group into the show’s semifinal live performances viewed by more than 15 million worldwide.

Co-class historian and Interfraternity Play Contest winner Tom Souza debuted his play Ghosts of Appomattox, chronicling the entangled relationships during the final days of the Civil War, at Mass Music and Arts Society in Mansfield, Massachusetts. Neurologist David Urion has earned more titles and achievements at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School than I can fit here. I knew he was superhuman when he was dubbed “Zeus” by our adopted class member professor John Rassias freshman year. He is the director ofthe hospital’s residency training programs in child neurology and neurodevelopmental disabilities and has an endowed chair devoted to medical education. He is also cochair of the hospital’s ethics advisory committee. At the national level, he is the immediate past president of Professors of Child Neurology.

Congrats to Sharon AM, the new CEO of the formidable company Prime Wellness of Pennsylvania, which was awarded one of the first grow-process licenses for the state’s new medical marijuana industry and committed to processing the highest-quality medical marijuana products. We mourn the passing of world citizen Chris Sega: international banker, lawyer, professor, cyclist, multi-marathoner, and devoted husband (1976. dartmouth.org).
