Social media – The listserv is regaining some participants and the newbies are finding a wealth of information and lively dialogue available to those interested in joining. New voices will keep the listserv alive and encourage those long- time attendees who are tiring of it to stay around.

Fellow ’69s, you must start thinking about a journey home to Dear Old Dartmouth.

I am amazed at the number of classmates I have come to care about dearly, simply because we eventually met on the “PS: In case anyone is interested, Anne is fluent in Italian 1969 mailing list. and has written a book on World War II sites in central and northern Italy.

Phil Bush «[email protected]» “Three years ago I ‘retired’ from a 21-year stint as Finance Director of the Dartmouth Psychiatric Research Center and became the part-time Finance Manager at Vital Communities, a small public benefit non-profit in White River Junction. We have a range of programs whose unifying principal is that there are issues that benefit from a coordinated effort among business, government, other non-profits and citizens in general. For example, our transportation program aims to reduce single-car commuting. An energy program is working with towns and solar installers to organize for group rates for people wanting to put PV on their roofs. There are others. If interested go to vitalcommunities.org for the whole story.

A cheese partnership buys most of the dairy’s milk and makes 8 tons of award-winning Cobb Hill Cheese that is distributed across the country. A newer enterprise makes some more of the milk into Cobb Hill Frozen Yo- gurt that is sold more locally. We put 1,000 taps in sugar maples and produce maple syrup. We also spend a lot of time on self-governance, which has been quite a learning experience for us. And it is great fun to watch kids grow up here.
