The Class Officers Weekend meetings October 1-2 were well attended by your officers, including president John Trethaway, vice president Joe Hayes, secretary Don Page, treasurer Joe Kurey, head agent Frank Weber and gift planning chair Alan Epstein. A major part of the program was devoted to fundraising. We heard a great speech by President Kim on the history of volunteer fundraising for Dartmouth starting with John Wheelock in the 1780s. A recent issue of Dartmouth Medicine reminds readers of Dr. Hardy Hendren’s contribution to the matching process for medical school graduates seeking internships at various hospitals. After graduating from DMS in 1950 he completed his M.D. in 1952 at Harvard, and while there designed and saw implemented a computerized matching system that is currently in use. Head agent Frank Weber reports that we met our 2010 fund goal. Treasurer Joe Kurey notes that dues paid class members dropped from 234 in 2009 (including 28 widows) to 229 in 2010 (including 35 widows). A major response to our plea for news in the last newsletter was concerning the list of legacies published in same in two parts. Omissions in the list were of concern. The list was that provided by alumni records.


For the second bimonthly period, we have no recent deaths to report.


Keep in touch.
