A big note of thanks from the class and the College is due Joan Harris, who recently retired as coordinator for the Sara Wheelock Society, a role in which she contacted widows of classmates and asked them if they were interested in maintaining contact and participating in class activities. She was the first person to work in this office. Fortunately a replacement has volunteered in the person of Joan McCulloch, widow of our late president, Andy McCulloch. We wish her well and offer the cooperation of the class.


Dwight Smith of Kearsarge, New Hampshire, has added information to biographical data submitted several years ago. At that time he claimed to be the ’47 living furthest north in New Hampshire, beating out Bill Hallager, who lives in Lincoln, by a few miles, His claim was true only after the death of Parker Hicks of Colebrook, who died in 2011. Dwight was one of only a few V-12 students who joined the class from active duty in the fleet. He had served on a battleship, the USS North Dakota, in the Pacific. After graduation he worked for the Boston and Maine Railroad until 1973, when he moved to Kearsarge and started his own railroad, the Conway Scenic Railway, which still operates. He retired in 1990 and, although a widower, enjoys life in the North Country.


The sympathy of the class is offered to the families of classmates who died recently: Arthur Agin on October 31, 2013, and Robert Rowland Jr. on January 29.


Keep in touch.
