Class of 1960

Our November Homecoming finally had clear weather although brisk but no rain or snow. Unfortunately, Harvard prevailed, but the class meeting was a real hit. Jim Adler reported on our commendable record of giving to the Dartmouth College Fund. Don Sheffield summarized our class financial report. Tony Roisman discussed the class forum project. Bill Gundy introduced our two sponsored women’s lacrosse players. Rick Roesch introduced our gallery curator. Gene Kohn summarized the very successful dorm art program, which now allows students to borrow framed artworks to hang in their dorm rooms. Dick Chase introduced our Dickey Center intern. Sid Goldman introduced our five supported scholars, and each spoke about their current experiences and future plans. Tony Roisman proudly shared the podium with four students who manage the Strengthening Educational Access with Dartmouth (SEAD) program. At noon we adjourned to the grill outside, where most of those students held conversations with us and one another while enjoying hot dogs and bratwurst, soup, baked beans, and other tasty delicacies provided in elegant fashion by our local wives. At 6 we shared cocktails and supper at the Coolidge Hotel in White River, Vermont, followed by a ceremony honoring Bob Colyer, Bill McCarter, and Jim Gallagher, with each receiving the President’s Award and a framed testimonial summarizing their outstanding contributions to our class. In attendance were Brooke and Jim Adler, Sage and Dick Chase, Allyn and Bob Colyer, Deborah and Sid Goldman, Laura-Beth Goodman, Malora and Bill Gundy, Larry Dingman with Gayla Troup, Honey and Bob Hager, Judy Pincus with Gene Kohn, Art LaFrance, Corinne and Jim Marlow, Linda and Rick Roesch, Tony Roisman, Don Sheffield, and Julie and Dudley Smith. Jim Marlow recently received a letter from his senior year roommate at Theta Delt, Carl Backus, saying he liked Jim’s detective novel, The Death of Emile Two Arrows. It meant a lot to Jim because Carl spent his career as a prosecutor and a judge, and this relates to the story in a huge way.

Now it is high time to make plans to attend our 65th reunion in September. Details will be forthcoming from Bob Hager.
