By Melissa Edelman | May 27, 1998

Bob Boehm '35 and his wife Fran are in their mid-80s but do not let their age slow them down. When they visited the College last week, they insisted on walking from the Hanover Inn to the Rockefeller Center, and their smiles were constant and energetic. And they have a lot to smile about -- they have seen their lives' work contribute to humanitarian causes and fund public policy programs. One such program aids several Dartmouth students each year -- the Nancy Boehm Coster Public Policy Career Encouragement Program, which is designed to support student interest in public service careers. The Boehms funded this program with an annual commitment of $25,000 grants.
