  1. My wife Kammie and I were thrilled to find a picture of our niece, Molly Parker (Class of 2010) in the slide show of the 2010 Dartmouth Winter Carnival shown in the January/ February 2011 issue of Yankee. I have been reading Yankee Magazine for over 40 years and have always enjoyed reading it cover to cover. Thank you and keep up the good work always.
