Casual conversation December 12th with Tim Means

Casual Conversaion December 6, 2021

Casual Conversation with Dona Heller 11/7/2021

In 2009, our classmate, Dona Heller, was adopted by the Class of ’69, along with nine other Pioneering Women. Dona grew up in Hanover as the daughter of a D’35 who was a Hitchcock Clinic physician and taught at Dartmouth Medical School. Before Dartmouth officially went coed, Dona began taking courses at the College in the fall of 1964, when she was a senior in high school. During our senior year, Dona returned to study full-time at Dartmouth, pursuant to an individual deal that she cut with Dean Thad Seymour.
