Following our reunion in September, attendance at Homecoming and Dartmouth Night was limited. We were represented by president John Trethaway and Alan Epstein. Hal Johnson of Montrose, California, logged a record 6,036 miles to attend our reunion. He returned home to find that his house had been sold, and he has since moved into a retirement community. He hopes to make new friends and to continue volunteering in a local hospital. Bill Enright has retired as a federal trial judge in California. He has returned to college to audit history courses he missed as an undergraduate. He wrote a book of quotations for his grandchildren. He is active and happily married for 61 years. Russ Fraser, a retired professor of English at the University of Michigan, now living in Hawaii, is planning to release a new book this year, Sojourns in Islamic Lands. Joe Hayes is off to Anguilla, British West Indies, for the 24th winter. He was impressed with the bus service to the stadium for the football game during the reunion. Jim Winter, retired professor of history at the University of British Columbia, writes, “I live with my wife on a small island farm off the mainland coast of British Columbia. It is an idyllic place in many ways: gentle climate, huge madronas, red cedars and douglas fir—sea and mountains. But in the early days of October I find myself going back in memory to Hanover and a home I had on Thetford Hill, in particular to the rich mosaic of color on Velvet Rocks and the riot of reds and yellows looking across the Connecticut River to the distant White Mountains. I think of the speech that President Dickey gave about the importance of place, especially to our College on the Hill.”


The sympathy of the class is extended to the families and friends of classmates who died recently: Norman H. Krystal, October 3, 2011; Paul S. Miller, September 28, 2012; Garvin Bawden, November 11, 2012; and Robert E. Holmes, September 6, 2012.


Keep in touch.
