Class of 1970

It takes a large number of hard-working volunteers to plan a college reunion for the number of classmates who have indicated their “intent to attend.”

So in this column we thank reunion cair Tex Morgan, for once again steering the ship safely into Hanover harbor. Kudos to Harvey Katz for organizing the Moosilauke option.

Our 55th was a big production. The many sessions and events were planned by a large number of classmates. It couldn’t have happened without the leadership of these 13 classmates.

There are vice chairs who handled food and beverage, planned activities and events, and spearheaded the lead up to event publicity, recruitment, and registration.

John Lugar once again produced his great music videos to tunes from “As the Backs Go Tearing By” and “Somewhere” to “Sign, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours” (Stevie Wonder), “Early Birds” (Eagles) and “Sittin’ on a Fence” (Rolling Stones).

John Sadd produced a video compilation of submissions from classmates who are photographers, filmmakers, and sculptors.

David Masselli once again edited the reunion book. Entertainment was orchestrated by Star Johnson,who also coordinated beverage service in the tent and arranged wine and beer tastings.

Tim Welch oversaw speakers and panels that were organized by Wallace Ford, Terry Shumaker, Duncan Wood,and Jeff Demerath.

Denny Brown handled tent amenities, catering, and the Hood Museum tour.

Scott Holland selected the Dartmouth-branded prizes for the raffle drawing.

Here’s what a few of the above busy classmates do with their time when not planning and executing the reunion.

John Lugaris involved with the summer stock theater near him in Vermont, both behind the scenes and on stage.

Scott Hollandrepeated his annual three-month trek to the Philippines, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

John Saddrecently returned from a wide-ranging trip to northern Spain and the Douro River Valley of Portugal, sampling the Camino de Santiago pilgrims trek along with an abundance of good food, wine, and history.

And what keeps me busy in addition to Dartmouth activities is playing with our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Griffin. (He’s the third dog we’ve had of this breed.) I’m also on the boards of two local nonprofits committed to preserving quality of life in the small village we live in on eastern Long Island. See class e-newsletter for a photo of Griffin and me.
