I have a bone to pick with most of you who read the Class Notes. Most of your class secretaries are just as busy or very often more so than all of you out there. Do you think it is as easy for us to contact all of you as it is for each of you to contact your secretary? A lot of you feel that what you are doing is not important enough to interest your classmates. Not so. Let your classmates know you are still around, enjoying life on your own terms. You would be surprised how many recall you and will be happy to hear that you are still out there.


I again urge all of you to participate in the activities of your nearest Dartmouth alumni club, the members of which would be more than happy to receive you. You will still be living those important years when you attended Dartmouth, so the Dartmouth experience will go on forever and you will always remain young.


The toxic political environment we live in is a disgrace. I, for one, always listen to what the people who differ from me have to say. No one is right or wrong. We now know that we live in a quantum world with all its variables, so that any position depends on many variables. There is no yes or no, and to survive we have to keep learning and trying to get along with everyone else. In fact, all you have to remember is: Do unto others as you would they do unto you. In that spirit, I hope all of you enjoy your holidays and are a part of trying to make that happen for everyone else.


The best from Irv Sager, Marvin Rauch, Ed Reich and yours truly. The great class of 1935 lives on!
