Be Like Floppy Man - Give early, Give often!! Events included presentation of a commemorative bowl and Governor Sununuu’s
proclamation to Phil Hanlon (below right); recognition of the anniversary at the rainy Friday night game versus Columbia,
recognition of all the TDX football players who were on Ivy Championship teams, an afternoon performance of Lodge
favorite Jerry Jeff Walker (honorary 77 TDX pictured above right) and his band on BHCF field behind the house, a lunch
Class Progress as of 2/18: gathering on the rugby field during the usual Dartmouth blowout of an opponent, a celebration gala at the Hanover Inn
where all ball and banquet rooms were needed to
accommodate the crowd, and various informal gatherings
at the Lodge. The Jerry Jeff concert was a real highlight.
While his vocal skills reflected his 77 years, it didn’t matter
as his band was outstanding and the Lodge boys knew all
the lyrics anyway. It was basically a sing-along.
To everyone’s everlasting surprise, there were neither inju-
ries nor property damage during the weekend. President
Hanlon noted that “it took 100 years for Dartmouth to
recognize that it needed Theta Delta Chi”. He also
remarked on the many positive contributions of current
brothers to the campus environment and philanthropy.
Thanks much Pete! While it took us way less than 150 years to realise

While Larry and Betsy (Rob-

vacationing in Madrid this past
fall, they bumped into Profes-

Betsy had not taken a course
with Navarro, they immediately
connected over Dartmouth and
enjoyed a lovely conversation.
Betsy learned that Professor
Navarro is in the process of
writing her biography.

Liz Kadin caught up with Mike Zischke (below) at his law office in San Francisco, and he reports: “ I am still actively
practicing law in SF, a lot of interesting cases involving the California Environmental Quality Act and claims about
climate change. I moved to Senior Partner status recently, which means I can work a little less and travel a little more.
Over the past few years, Nadin and I have had great trips to Scotland, New Zealand, and Ireland. Our Ireland trip
included a fabulous visit with our younger daughter at the Ballymaloe Cookery School in Cork. Both daughters are
grown and live in SF. In my spare time, I spend a lot to time stage managing musical productions for a private club.”
P.S. Liz mentioned that Michael, who would not want to boast about himself, was named “Lawyer of the year 2020” by
U.S. News and World report for his specialty, land use and zoning law litigation. Well done, Mike!!
