How to find someone
Search Dartmouth's alumni records for any alumnus/ae (you will need to log in)
Dartmouth based email address
Dartmouth offer free permanent email addresses to all alumni (in the format Your.Name.86@alum.dartmouth.org). You can use this as your primary email address, and can connect up to the Dartmouth mail server via POP. Or you can set your Dartmouth email account to automatically forward to any other email address.
The advantage to setting up your Dartmouth address, even if you just use it to forward to your usual email, is that long-lost classmates know exactly how to contact you.
You can set up your email address here.
Class mailing list
The class also maintains a Yahoo Groups email list. If you subscribe, you will be able to send/receive all postings to other classmates who have subscribed. At present there are over 420 subscribers. The traffic on this list is very light, so it won't swamp your inbox.
