1960

Jim Gallagher and Marilyn became grandparents for the 14th time on November 17. So Jim finally has a grandson named after him: James Patrick Gallagher. Jim told his grandson that he would be at his Dartmouth graduation, but that the Tuck graduation was a little “iffy.” Dan Wilkinson’s musical life in 2022 took him from Alabamato Napa Valley, California, and then to Florida. He’s still happily married to Ginger and is now known as “Ginger and what’s his name.” Peter Crumbine and Bea sold their house in Greenwich, Connecticut, and have moved to nearby Edgehill, an assisted living facility. In addition to getting rid of the detritus from living in the same place for 40 years, this will provide better care for Peter’s episodic ataxia. The past year was a big downer and an even greater upper for John Goodman. In March Virginia passed away, finally succumbing to the ovarian cancer she had been fighting the past 24 years. Meanwhile, John met a woman who has now become his partner. We will meet her in Charleston, South Carolina. Nathan Witham and wife Frauke settled in 1972 in her home country Germany after two and a half years in Chile for the Peace Corps, and he taught history in a private school there for 33 years. Their children are also internationally inclined and three grandchildren are German citizens. Rory Mullett’s best job was representing management in labor relations. It was a team effort and relations with the steelworkers were very civilized (drinks after business). Steve Gell took the trip that his late soulmate Sheila had talked about for years, a safari to Kenya and Tanzania. His biggest fear was testing positive for Covid but everything went off without a hitch. Steve thanks Bill Gundy and Dick Chase for linking him up with the ’61 medical lectures and adjunct Dartmouth caregiver group that helped him weather some difficult storms. Jim Foch’s hobby continues to be astronomy. With improved diet, hearing aids, and Aricept to counter short-term memory loss, he looks forward to the future.

Add your name to the Bartlett Tower Society.

See you in Charleston.
