NorCal - 03/19/2009

The NorCal group gathered for dinner and drinks at Jim Feuille’s house in San Francisco.  Professor Don Pease was a special guest for the evening.  Professor Pease spoke about the succession of Dartmouth Presidents since his arrival on campus in 1973, which was only two short years before our arrival.  Professor Pease spoke about the challenges each President faced and what each tried to accomplish as well as how Dartmouth has evolved over the 30 plus years since his (and our) arrival on campus.  We were joined by two current students, Andrea Imhoff ‘11 and Kat Sanders ‘12, who spoke about life on campus today.  Both were thrilled with the selection of Jim Young Kim as Dartmouth’s new President, having already known of him through his leadership of Partners in Health.  Pictured from left to right are Nancy Murray (Jim Feuille’s spouse), Mary Ann Zetes, Jennifer Hughes, Jim Feuille, Victoria Thys Barnes, Bill Newell, Megan Topping, Mark Horton, Don Pease, John Sotos, Leslie Mandel Gordon, Skip Maples, Mark Tomalonis, Andrea Imhoff and Kat Sanders.  Rick Magnuson also attended but left just before the group picture.  Sending their regrets with work or family conflicts were Carol Gieg, John Moragne, Don Keller, Chip Vetter, Susan Felch, Carl Yerkovich, John Poole, Bruce Dallas, David Jeffrey, Lisa Saunders, Pam Joyner, Peter Robinson, Ben Riley and Adam Samuels.
