Joan and Al Bildner celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on June 19. The group included their son, Jim ’75, his daughter Lizzie ’08, Mel and Paula Nelson and Alan Epstein. The affair was catered by Abby Kirsch Culinary Productions, but Bob and Abby were off on a cruise. In June Paul Guilderson and his wife flew to New Hampshire from Florida for a week to attend granddaughter’s graduation. While there, they were joined for dinner by old friends and Harry and Gloria Lanzillo. Larry Goodman attended a wedding in Osaka, Japan, and then traveled in China to Beijing, Xian and Shanghai. He was impressed by the accomplishments of the Chinese. He attended a Dartmouth program at the University of Beijing led by Dartmouth alumnus Justin Rodelson. Wink Crosen’s widow, Eunice, died on February 12, according to her daughter, Janet Elwood. She enjoyed reading about class members and activities. For any with access to the quarterly Historic New Hampshire, the spring 2009 issue (Vol. 63, No. 1) carries an article on the role of Dartmouth alumni in the westward expansion of the nation through the completion of the transcontinental railway in 1869. There is also an interesting history of the construction and operation of the Mt. Washington Cog Railway.


The sympathy of the class is extended to the friends and family of deceased class members: Louis Cohen, January 8; Irving Chorney, May 22; and Edward Scully, May 10.


Keep in touch.
