The Dartmouth contingent who helped staff the Manning Passing Academy staff in Thibodaux, LA gathers for a photo at a party thrown by supporters of the annual event. Pictured (left to right) are Jim Eden '79, Joe McLaughlin '81, David Shula '81, Jim Rill '81 and Buddy Teevens along with – could it possibly be? – Bob Weiss. If you look closely you can barely make out Peyton Manning in the background.

Teevens is associate director of the Manning Passing Academy where he, "oversees all aspects of the on-field operation and coaching staff." (LINK)

As of this week the trees behind the north end zone of Memorial Field are no more. They will be replaced by a row of arborvitae (a fancy hedge row to the rest of us) according to the minutes for the Hanover planning board from May 6.

Check out the minutes to see mention of the replacement of the trees and, oh yeah, the home stands. It is included in Item 3 of the, "Submission of application for site plan review by the trustees of Dartmouth College to replace the west stands bleachers at Memorial Field, with upgrades to access, bathrooms, and related athletic functions/facilities."
