Class Note 1947
Issue
The inauguration of President Hanlon and the Class Officers Weekend on September 20-21 were attended by president J. Trethaway, vice president J. Hayes, head agent A. Epstein and newsletter editor F. Sistare. The ceremony was impressive, the crowds were massive and they were blessed with good weather. Royal Brush of Cochranville, Pennsylvania, has not only retired from business but also recently from fox hunting, a sport he started while living on Long Island. He was reluctant to drive the distance to our mini-reunion. Gerry Phillips, esquire, is the author of a book Fair Deal for All Clients: How to Rekindle Pride in the Legal Profession. It is dedicated to improving the image of lawyers by educating the public as to how lawyers bill clients and by convincing lawyers that their practices are hurting the profession. Gerry is of counsel at Phillips Lerner, a law firm in Los Angeles. He helped establish the Phillips Family Fund at the Ethics Institute at Dartmouth. At the annual meeting of the New England Surgical Society on September 20-22, 2013, in Hartford, Connecticut, Dr. W. Hardy Hendren of Duxbury, Massachusetts, was given the Nathan Smith Award, which acknowledges distinguished service to the society. Hendren was president of the society in 1993. Nathan Smith was a noted early American surgeon who founded the Dartmouth Medical School and contributed to the founding of three others: Yale, Bowdoin and the University of Vermont. The class executive committee meeting on October 11 was attended by seven members: R. Dobson, J. Hayes, H. Hendren, D. Page, F. Sistare, L. Sistare and J. Trethaway. As the new webmistress, Liz Sistare was welcomed to the group. Treasurer J. Kurey was unable to attend due to other plans. In his report he noted that the number of classmates paying annual dues continues to decrease: 2013, 143; 2012, 157; 2011, 187; and 2010, 194. At the Dartmouth Night parade four members marched. The mini-reunion reception and dinner at the Norwich Inn, arranged by Joe Hayes, saw 14 in attendance, including two guests: Presidential Intern Wei Wu ’14 and Hardy Hendren’s granddaughter, class of ’14. The sincere sympathy of the class is offered to the families of classmates who died recently: Clayton Birdsall, D.D.S., August 23, 2013, and Arnold Weber, September 31, 2013. Keep in touch. —Donald F. Page, 21 Alva St., East Greenbush, NY 12061; (518) 477-4768
