Class Note 1946
Issue
Jan-Feb 2020
Bob Skutch suggested recently that classmates describe an auspicious event in their life with a satisfying outcome for our class column. He described a favorable U.S. Supreme Court epic ruling allowing a book he had written about what constitutes a family, including gender preferences, to be distributed to schoolchildren.
I would like to expand the notion of remembering and sharing memorable events in our lives so that the unique history of WW II classes known as the “Greatest Generation” is not buried and forgotten. It is fitting at this time, while Dartmouth is celebrating its 250th centennial anniversary, that we make this contribution. Non-veteran experiences are welcome and assistance by all family members is appreciated.
Lila Cooper, widow of recently deceased Dr. Milton Cooper, is valiantly coping with the cleanup and disposal of a leaking oil tank in their home in Fairfield, Connecticut. She informed me of the recent death of Bob Barrows, who was Milt’s roommate. While Stan Florman appreciated his bio in the last Class Notes DAM issued, he will graciously overlook the misspelling of his name as “Floorman.”
Sadly, our class family sympathy list is long. Edward J. Carney died September 2, 2004, as the College confirmed September 12, 2019. He was a member of the Navy V-12. Paul A. Lux died March 16, 2016, confirmed October 2, 2019. He was an Air Force B-29 pilot. Industrial career executive. Neil H. Muehlhauser died August 15, 2016, a former member of the Navy V-12 program. Sanford M. Treat Jr. died September 1, 2019. He joined 10th Mountain Division after the Pearl Harbor attack, was captain of the Dartmouth ski team and an aluminum executive. John Foran Kennedy died September 3, 2019. He was an Army staff sergeant, 1943-46, graduated Cornell University Law School in 1952, and practiced probate, trust, and estate law. Walter S. Nylund died October 10, 2019, a member of the Navy V-12 and graduate of Tuck School in 1948. Robert C. Hunt died September 22, 2019. He was with the Army 203 Combat Battalion on D-Day at Omaha Beach and battled inFrance and Belgium (in the Battle of the Bulge), then graduated from the University of Connecticut Law School. Bob Barrows died October 6, 2019. I enjoyed Bob at our reunions, including minis. We would sit with our good friend Milton Cooper at the reunion football games while our wives would attend an event at the Hopkins Center.
