Seasons are good for the soul, and I really do marvel at Read on… the splendor and character of each and every one of them. [email protected] 1 Class of ’76 News Spotlight on Y-O-U From George McBride, Whitneyville, ME: Most of my classmates are retired or thinking about retiring. I feel, on the other hand, like I’m just getting started. After a lackluster career in manufacturing and, more recently teaching (math), I have discovered my niche as an inventor. One patent in hand, another on the way—my next event is presenting my ideas on “Spent Flow Discharge Apparatus for instream hydropower turbines”. From Andy Shaw, Chicago: Jim Naylor and his wife Dale spent a long weekend recently in Chicago with me and my wife Mar- ty. Among other activities, Jim and I had the great pleasure of playing golf on a sunny fall-like Saturday at Erin Hills in Wisconsin, where the U.S. Open is scheduled to be played in June 2017. The course, which is public, is in a spectacular setting in the Kettle Moraine region north and west of Milwaukee and is very challenging. I met my goal of breaking 90, but not by a lot. Jim didn’t quite make his goal of breaking 80, but he played beautifully, as he always does. What a fun way to spend the day with a great friend and classmate! From Julia Miner, Boston: From the Food Project website: In 1991, The Food Project’s founder, Ward Cheney, had a vision of young people from the city and the suburbs working side by side on the land producing food for the hungry and learning together. He imagined youth experiencing the value of labor and service while building a di- verse and effective community. He pictured a place where youth could discover and develop their talents, make friends and test themselves physically, mentally and emotionally. His vision became The Food Project. From the Class of ’76 Facebook page. Ward Cheney understood how suburban and inner city youth experienced similar feelings of isolation from their surroundings and meaningful work. Creating compelling work on the land, his dream was to bring these young people together – connecting their communities in the process – to supply food to deserving organizations. The Lincoln fields have grown from five acres to thirty-one, and farms have opened in Roxbury, Lynn and Beverly. Employing 100 young people and 25 staff, and engaging nearly 2,000 volunteers each year, the orga- nization grows produce for donations, subsidized sale, and youth-driven food enterprises. Paintings from my “Rhythms” series drawn from the Food Project, Lin- coln MA, are on exhibit in Gallery 3, Umbrella Com- munity Arts Center 2 [email protected] From Michael Montgomery, Los Angeles: Nicole and I are doing very well in a very hot and humid Los Angeles. I was swimming in the Pacific Ocean in mid October! I am teaching again at UCLA Anderson on technology and media. Big class, but I love it, keeping me on my toes and trying to stay ahead of what is going on in media these days. Dartmouth seems so far away and long away now! I’d love to connect with Reggie Williams. He reached out to me 25 years ago for career advice when I was at Disney…and lots of humor in his joining Disney down in Orlando. Hope he is well. [Editor’s update: for those of you who follow Reggie’s Facebook page, or who follow the Cincinnati Bengals, you will know that Reggie suffered a stroke on New Year’s eve. He is fighting to regain his speech even as he is still fighting to recover the use of his mangled knee. He is in our thoughts and hearts as he faces this latest trial. We wish him a full recovery and trust that the Granite of New Hampshire that is part of who he is will see him through these difficult times.] Another one from Andy Shaw: Attached is a “summit” photo of the group that climbed Moosilauke last Saturday (Octo- ber 24th). There were six ‘76s in total, me, Scott Simons, Sean Gorman, Jim Burns, Jim Beattie and Dave Balderston. Scott’s and Burns’s wives (Pam and Marion, respectively) also climbed, as well as two ‘75s, Dave Rob- ertson and John Clayman. One other young- er couple, Vivienne and Brad, rounded out the group. Vivienne is a Dartmouth medical student. After the climb, the six ‘76 climbers, plus Art Howe and Martha Beattie, met at Art Howe’s summer home on Squam Lake to have dinner and spend Saturday night. All in all, a really great weekend of reconnecting by some classmates whom I hadn’t seen for quite a while! Pictured left to right are: Sean Gorman, Jim Burns, Dave Balderston, Andy Shaw, Scott Simons and Jim Beattie. From Martha Hennessey Martha Hennessey posted The Four Agreements on the Class of ’76 Facebook page. I thought they were worth sharing with a wider audience. What do you think? From Dave Spalding, Iowa: We are enjoying Iowa. The people are great, and I am enjoying the job. I am in my third academic year as dean of the College of Busi- ness at Iowa State University. We set a new record for enrollment in our College this fall, breaking a record that had stood for 29 years. [Editors note: Dave is Raisbeck Endowed Dean and Professor of Finance at the College of Business of Iowa State University.] [email protected] 3 From Gordie Miles, Winnnipeg: It has been a relatively mild winter in Winnipeg to date, although the forecast is for a blast of cold air to track through on the weekend...but we had some nice snow just before Christmas which made for really good cross-country skiing conditions over the holiday season! 2016 will see my wife retire at the end of June from her elementary school teaching position - she’s ready for something different, whether that’s on a volunteer or a paid basis remains to be seen! And both of our kids are in Toronto, so we’ll get out there a few times to visit with them...and for my part, no plans to retire for another couple of years, but we’ll see! From Kip Hall, New York, NY: After serving as a Wall Street litigator, the firm, DLA Piper, keeps me on as senior counsel while I pursue teaching and public service.

I am Mary Donin and I am sitting in Rauner Library with Jack Skewes, the former business manager of Dartmouth College. So we're talking about chronology here, Mr. Skewes. I guess I would first like to start out by hearing a little bit about your undergraduate years at Dartmouth. First of all I would like to know how you ended up coming to Dartmouth in the first place. Did you have family? JACK SKEWES: No family. I was born in Claremont, New Hampshire and lived there through my junior year in high school. My dad and mother used to bring me up to Dartmouth football games and track meets when we were competing against Army that had Glenn Davis, "Doc" Blanchard -- great All-Americans -- and basketball games, particularly during World War II when ROTC programs were here and Dartmouth was getting all of these All-Americans from all over the country coming in to train. So I just was sort of a Dartmouth fan from being a kid. Then we moved to Concord, Massachusetts, when I was a senior. My dad took a job down there, and I went to Concord High School my senior year and the principal of the school was a Dartmouth graduate.

When they returned to school, they drew their perceptions of their visit and dictated a line or two about what they had learned to their teacher. The children's statements appear unedited. This Town Report cover reflects a first grader's understanding of the Town's work. The cover is a collage of many children's drawings. Many thanks are extended to the first grade teachers, Mrs. Derrick, Mrs. Demont, and Miss Hayes for their flexibility in scheduling and support of the project. Special thanks go to Selectman Willie Black for coor- dinating the project with Dartmouth College interns, Peter Donat and Clare Killeen.

I wanted to start and have you talk about your long association with Dartmouth. Did you grow up here in Hanover? CHOUKAS: I grew up here in Hanover, yes. My father, who was the Class of ʻ27, came back in the fall of ʻ29 to teach and he was a professor here for 39 years. So at the age of a year and a half I moved to Hanover and lived here—well, we moved to Norwich in ʻ41 but I went through the Hanover school system into high school and then went to Vermont Academy as a student and graduated from there. I then went to Clark School, which was in Hanover, as a post-graduate day student, and then to Dartmouth, and graduated in ʻ51. CARROLL: What was Dartmouth like back in the 40s? CHOUKAS: And the ʻ30s? CARROLL: And the ʻ30s, yes, thatʼs right! CHOUKAS: Well, Dartmouth was—this is a stereotypical quote—monolithic, although we didnʼt realize it in those days. It was a small college but it was very nationally prominent, and I guess I can talk more about what Hanover was like from—through the eyes of a young kid growing up here.

  • A Dartmouth '76 Odyssey

    2001: A Dartmouth ’76 Odyssey The 25th Reunion Book of The Class of 1976 Baker Tower Via Northwest Buttress (Hanover, N. H.) Class 5.9, A2. Time: 3 hours. First ascent: Ted Scheu and John Olsen, June 13, 1976. The original 1 party took an additional ⁄2 hour placing a 76 marker on the face, since removed. Note it is not necessary to secure the permission of the land- holder before making this climb. A report of con- ditions on the route would be appreciated; contact Dean’s Office, Parkhurst Hall, (603) 646-2243. This is an athletic and picturesque climb that (for nostalgic reasons) should be included in the 50 Classic Climbs of North America. Views from the summit stretch southward toward the bucolic Connecticut River valley and north to Mt. Cube, Moosilauke, and the beckoning Presidential Range. The overall flavor is of moderate exposure on solid rock, with the main limitation being the absence of protection on much of the route. Approach via the Appalachian Trail to the well-worn path south of the Tower, and circle the tower to its NW corner near Kiewit. The first pitch is quite 1 vertical on offset mortised brick, offering ⁄2-inch hand and toeholds to below the second-story over- hang. Protection is available at this point using the painter’s bolt in the eaves. A difficult 5.9 mantle move surmounts the overhang (there is a good hand- hold in the unseen gutter above). From this point, ascend the ridgeline (Class 3, friction) to the next vertical section, climbed in identical fashion to the first.
