Dartmouth

On April 27, 2011 I visited Dartmouth College for a one day seminar for the NH and VT Parks Associations. The main focus of the day was turfgrass and I was there representing the New England Sports Turf Managers Association giving a brief talk on educational opportunities in the field of turfgrass science. The highlight of the day had nothing to do with turfgrass - it was having a tour of the campus with Dartmouth's arborist. He went over a lot of details about the history of trees on the campus, how they maintain them and new tree selection. Fascinating!

You only need to visit Dick Mount's house to get a tour of Dartmouth - I think he still has his old cheerleader's megaphone in his living room.

He also still wears some of his clothing from his days in Hanover.

Other prominent Dartmouth alum: Bill White, Curt Anderson among others.

I forgot to mention Russ Daiber - Ted's son - another loyal Dartmouth alum.

Perhaps we should compile a list of everyone's schools and compare the totals - I know that Larry Wolf talked about having an "Intercollegiate" match between LCC alumni - I think that would be a lot of fun. I'm guessing that Harvard would have a very tough team with the Palandjians, Kristen Fusco, Roberta Cleary come to mind (not counting B-school - only undergrad).

What say you?
