Steve Macht is interviewed with alumni from other classes in an insightful, lively podcast, Dartmouth and the Jews Who Loved It, part ofthe Gatecrashers series produced by Tablet Podcasts. Reached near home in Beverly Hills, California, Steve recounted with me his long, formidable acting career, including the 1977 TV film Raid on Entebbe and the more recent Suits TV legal drama featuring son Gabriel. Steve and Suzanne have four children and 10 grandchildren, “three of whom are bar mitzvahed.”

Well-deserved inclusion of Bill King (football), Denny Emerson (equestrian), and Gerry Ashworth (track and field) in this magazine’s “100 Greatest Athletes” issue prompted letters to the editor from Dave McCollum proposing addition of soccer All-American David Smoyer and from Bill Wellstead supporting football teammate Don McKinnon.

Coordinated by Jeff Nothnagle, our class became cosponsor of The Class of 1962 Caring Class Network Zoom series featuring experts in healthcare, law, and other issues affecting seniors. Watch for announcements.

I regret to report the passing of Bill Bonnell, William Messerly, Bruce Nichols, and John Willets. See obituaries by Tige Harris in the online DAM obits section. Tige returned from a well-deserved break in November visiting son John, a United States Agency for International Development (USAID) officer normally stationed in Kiev, Ukraine, but now on temporary duty in Warsaw, Poland. —Harry Zlokower, 190 Amity St., Brooklyn, NY 11201; (917) 541-8162; harry@zlokower.com
