Ed Reich tells me that he is happy and keeps going all the time. Irv Sager reports that his future is bright because he will make it happen. As for myself, being a historian, I try to communicate the important parts of my life that might be important in the shaping of the culture of the future. So much is being lost forever. Mabelle Hueston ’86 is a full-blooded Navaho Native American whose important language is disappearing. This was the language used by Navahos to transmit important information during WW II. The Japanese could not interpret this, which made it vital to the United States. When a culture disappears, there are always parts of it that are lost forever that we would want to keep. 


I try to keep alive my experiences and feelings about the culture that shaped what is happening now and welcome any questions about events and feelings I have had. I am saddened by those who have to immerse themselves in some engulfing religion because they feel they cannot succeed in a culture stacked against them. Our constitution has been chipped away. We need to have a constitutional convention to recreate what our forefathers intended. I would hope that Dartmouth would host. Let us do what has to be done.


I see all the fantastic young people who I believe will forge a wonderful future for all humanity. Our present way of life—which ignores those who live in desperate poverty—cannot continue. Dartmouth, lead the way.


Vox clamantis in deserto.
