This will be my last column for Dartmouth Alumni Magazine. I am resigning as the editor of the Class Notes. I’ll stay on as secretary and treasurer until the 65th has come and gone. Bud Baker is handling the finances—and doing a great job. As of now it’s doubtful I’ll get to the reunion. Not in the best shape physically (as I’m sure are so many more). I am in the process of moving back to Asbury Park. I’ve served as secretary and treasurer for many years. I’ve had the opportunity to speak to many of you, some of whom I never knew at Dartmouth. Many of our original class became part of V-12. Many others came to Dartmouth as part of that. The College gave all the option to become whatever class they chose. I am grateful that so many joined 1946—and became an important part of the class. Serving in many capacities, and one, the late Jim Lynch, became class president. I regret that I never got to meet a lot of V-12s. I left before they came, and they left before I came back. Members of 1946, one and all! I am proud that I was able to serve the class and my heartfelt thanks to all of you who have shared so much with me. I feel deeply honored to have served the class. Enjoy the 65th!
