We heard from Bennett Eisenberg, Ph.D. (MIT, mathematics), who continues to enjoy teaching math at Lehigh University. His interest has been in probability and statistical theory. A recent collaboration over the internet with an Italian professor brought him an invitation to teach a course in Turin next summer. Back a few years Bennett and Jeanine road-tripped to New Mexico, where they shared time with Joe Cardillo and his wife Anne, an acquaintance made not in Hanover, but in Albuquerque when Bennett taught at University of New Mexico. They also vacationed for a week with Harry Bartel and his wife Scotti in Taos. Bennett and Jeanine have one son and two grandchildren.
Dartmouth has always been well represented in D.C., so it should be no surprise that we have a scientist there. After teaching at University of South Florida for twenty years, Doug Raber, Ph.D. (Michigan, chemistry) has been in D.C. twenty years, fifteen of which were at the National Academy of Sciences, where he directed their chemistry operations (antiterrorism). Lately, he has had a science-policy consulting business for universities and non-profits. He must have been enjoying writing, consultants do that a lot, because he and his wife Linda, a professional writer, are writing novels together for fun and profit - focus, of course, terrorism. We're reserving space for a review when they hit the market. Doug has two daughters and three grandchildren.
In 2007 Larry Williams ran into Fred Rothenberg on Glacier Park's Iceberg Trail. Both were wearing 40th Dartmouth reunion hats. Larry's plans to attend the 45th Reunion were interrupted by a mild stroke from which he has substantially recovered. Larry has had several careers - ranger at Glacier Park, music educator and superintendent of schools in Great Falls, Montana and Sioux City, Iowa, and now executive director of the Sioux City Symphony. He and Becky split their time between Iowa and Montana, where she was a career ranger at Glacier Park and now volunteers. They will call Columbia Falls, Montana home when Larry really retires.
