Class Note 1940

Tuck Dean Matt Slaughter reports on a recent meeting he had with Joe Huber: “En route to Minnesota in December, in a lovely Dartmouth-around-the-world moment, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Huber. Two of his daughters and he were in the same airplane row as me, and I ended up speaking with him for about an hour of the flight. He told me he turned 100 on December 6, his wife passed away last month, and his daughters were traveling with him to move him back home to Bozeman, Montana, to live with his son. Mr. Huber could remember a fair bit of his Dartmouth time: He lived in Topliff his first couple years, majored in economics, and sang in the Glee Club. After Dartmouth he went to Washington, D.C., and, when WW II broke out, he enlisted in the Navy, and flew during the war—and continued for a total of 25 years. He said he loved Dartmouth, and he thinks he was last on campus for his 75th reunion in 2015. One of the gifts the family gave him for his big birthday last week was a Dartmouth hat.”
