We are or were all members of the Dartmouth community of Hanover, New Hampshire. But for a time, the address was known as Hanover, Vermont. In 1776 11 towns met in Hanover to voice their grievances against the royal governors at Exeter.
I received the first notification of our upcoming 75th reunion, which will, of course, be held at the Hanover Inn starting on Sunday, September 18, and ending on Tuesday, September 20.
The leaf season in the fall in New England is a very busy time, with tourists arriving from everywhere. Mountains ablaze with color is quite a sight. And Dartmouth is right in the middle of it. Then quick as a flash the colors turn to white.
I received a reminder from the College a while back that our 75th reunion will take place in the fall of 2022. My memory of our 70th is pretty good and I remember that four members of ’42 were there.
John B. Trethaway ’47 of New London, New Hampshire, died on January 30. He was born in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Wellesley, Massachusetts.
Donald F. Page ’47 of East Greenbush, New York, died May 19 in Albany Memorial Hospital. Don was born and raised in Hanover, where his father, Frederick Page, class of 1913, was a professor.
Samuel B. Tassel ’47 of Lakewood Ranch, Florida, died January 26, 2016. He grew up in Lynn, Massachusetts, where he attended Lynn Classical High School.
Grant A. Tinker ’47 of Los Angeles died on November 28, 2016. He was born January 11, 1925, in Stamford, Connecticut, where he grew up and attended King School. He joined the class as a civilian in 1943.
