CLASS NOTES
Vietnam is where Richard "Denny" Kernochan will be this spring. An associate professor of management at Cal State Northwood, Denny received a Fulbright to teach at the Hue University of Economics. "This will be as much of a learning experience for me as the students I will be teaching." Denny will bring a lifetime of relevant experiences to Vietnam. After earning a master's from UCLA and an M.B.A. from the Iran Center for Management Studies inTehran, he lived and worked overseas for 12 years and has been teaching international business at CSUN since 1999. Thanks to Ted Temple we can share an update on the Sons of September who gathered in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, for their fourth annual long weekend to, as Ted puts it, "celebrate the fact that none has succumbed to full-blown dementia." In fact the group seems to be clicking along on all cylinders. Ted, himself, after stints in the corporate world and as a commercial real estate broker has retired to Beaufort, South Carolina, where he's taken up anthropology classes at the University of South Carolina. Bill Bryan has founded two new ventures: a Web-based non-financial retirement coaching site called Next Dance (Chuck Horn is in on this one) and the Center for Secondary School Redesign, which has the modest and highly laudable goal of turning around urban high schools. The other two SOS are in the writing business. Geoff Huck was executive editor at the University of Chicago Press before joining the English department at Toronto's York University, where he nurtures Canadian authors. Mike Shaill sold his educational publishing business to become an underwater adventure writer. Check out Cabot Station, Sea Glow or Shark Shakedown. Another class author is John Pappenheimer. As reported by Ed Jereb, who caught up with John in Seattle, he writes young adult books in the waterfront home he shares with his artist wife. John has worked as a reporter, a fishing boat captain and a magazine publisher. His daughter Zoe is a graphic artist in New York City working toward her master's at Pratt. Turning 65 in 2009? Not to worry, you've got plenty of company. So come celebrate at our collective class 65th b-day weekend in Santa Fe, New Mexico, May 22-25. Get all the details about the party, and our fundraising campaign for the beautiful Class of 1966 Cabin at our class Web site, alum.Dartmouth.org/classes/66. We are saddened to report the passing of two classmates, Richard Kaiser and Steve Posniak, and send our deepest sympathies to their families and friends.

Congratulations to Pete Barber, who will be the first '66 inducted into Dartmouth's prestigious Wearers of the Green in ceremonies in Boston on May 16. Pete was a three-year soccer starter at fullback and stalwart on Whitey Burnham's 1964 Ivy championship team and was a terrific right-hand pitcher for Tony Lupien's baseball squad. Paralyzed from the waist down in the Vietnam War, Pete continues to display courage, kindness, compassion and an irrepressible sense of humor in all that he does. He richly deserves this honor.
