These few words are submitted in the heat of the first day of summer for publication in the bright days of early fall. Alan Hall, after 57 years in the Hopkinton/Concord, New Hampshire, area, is moving to a retirement community in Brunswick, Maine. He provides sound advice for any who are downsizing and moving into smaller living quarters. Start early in planning to allow family members to claim antiques as desired. Be prepared to get rid of family relics that no longer have meaning and be prepared to see many longtime possessions disappear in a dumpster. Gerry Phillips, his wife and daughter Stacy ’80 attended the Dartmouth First-year Family Weekend to visit their grandson/son Andrew ’12. A special event at Tuck School was a conference on conflict and resolution on April 23, sponsored by the Phillips Family Fund and the Dartmouth Ethics Institute. The two keynote speakers were Andy Cutler, chief executive officer of Eaton Corp., and Admiral Patrick Walsh, chief of naval operations. The conference was based on a paper, “No Laughing Matter: Eaton and the Racist Joke,” written by four students at Tuck School.


Our class mini-reunion is scheduled for October 23-25 at the Norwich Inn. A class executive committee meeting is set for 1 p.m. on Friday (all are welcome), followed by Dartmouth night and the Columbia football game.


The sympathy of the class is extended to the family of Louis Cohen, who died on January 8.


Keep in touch.
