Fall 2012 Issue - Colby-Sawyer College

Hospital as a medical
administrative assistant 3
1/2 years ago and moved
with her husband, Alan, a
retired MA public school
teacher and track coach, to
Holly Springs, NC, which
is just outside of Raleigh.
They keep active by going
to the local YMCA, which
is run by a Colby-Sawyer
graduate. Hobbies include
walking, bike riding,
gardening and knitting at
a local yarn shop. Her son
John lives in San Francisco
with his girlfriend and
has his own landscaping
business. Daughter Allison
lives in Chicago and is
the Director of Housing
Initiatives for the Mayor’s
Metropolitan Caucus. She
graduated from Bowdoin
College in 2004 and went
on to earn a graduate degree
in public policy at the
U of Chicago, where she
was awarded a full fellowship.
Carol’s mom is alive
and well and still living in
the Boston area. They do
a lot of traveling between
San Francisco, Chicago
and Boston. Carol’s sister
Susan Robertson Butler ’71
lives on their same street.
This past winter Nancy
Wright Heim, her husband,
David, and their dog
Millie visited Carol on their
way from PA to FL. Laura
Braman Corcoran and Tim
spend 9 months in Naples,
FL. Tim retired several
years ago. Their other
home is on Cape Cod, but
they decided to put that
house on the market. They
have one son who turned
30 in Sept, who works in
Abu Dhabi. Jan Sargent
Simblist is working part
time as a consultant for
Quest Diagnostics, attending
medical staff meetings
at nursing homes in CT,
giving infection control
advice, and passing on
any laboratory informa-
tion that pertains to
care of the elderly. Earlier
this year Jan attended the
tribute to Becky Irving
’42 MT, the beloved
director of the medical
technology program at
Colby-Sawyer. Jan lives in
a rural part of CT, so is
often busy with gardens
and farmer’s markets.
She joined the Lebanon
Garden Club last year
and kayaks on the lake a
mile away. She’s spending
considerable time planning
her 50th high school
reunion for next year. Jan
writes, “My parents, who
live in MA, seem to need
my help a little more often
than before. My granddaughter
graduates from
high school this year. It’s
nice to have 2 of my sons
close by in NY. My eldest
and his wife are in TX,
where he is a professor
at SMU.” This year Jan
and her husband traveled
to FL to visit with
friends and family, and
also went to southwest
France. Barbara Jackson
Wade writes, “Reporting
in for 1st time (shame on
What a marvelous adventure it
has been to move to where we knew
absolutely no one!
Hilde Body Clark ’66
me!).” Barbara married
Philip (Dartmouth ‘66) in
1967, held an odyssey of
jobs and homes whilst he
completed medical school,
internship and residency.
They then settled in
and around the Boston
area raising 3 daughters,
who (post-college and
their own wanderings),
settled in the suburbs
of Burlington, VT. Post
retirement, having always
loved NH (hence CJC and
Dartmouth), the Wades
moved north to Lyme,
NH, where they have been
for the past 12 years. “We
are enjoying the Upper
Valley, the proximity to our
daughters and 6 grand
children, and the luxury of
free time to pursue hobbies
and travel,” she says.
I, Susan Weeks, turned 65
this past Dec. and now I’m
officially a “senior” with
my very own Medicare
card. Whoopee! However, I
still work full time and love
it. I’ve enclosed a photo of
myself and Laura Cogswell
’72. Laura and I both work
in neonatology division at
the Dartmouth Hitchcock
Medical Center. She’s the
transitional long term care
nurse coordinator and
has been in nursing here
at DHMC for 36 years! I
support the attending physicians
within the division
and am also the program
coordinator for the fellowship
program. Gardening,
volunteering and my dogs
continue to be my biggest
activities outside of work.
I plan on looking towards
full retirement in the
next couple of years so I
can do some traveling.
