In what has become a pattern, there is little news from classmates.

My wife and I joined Hank and Frances Brezinski for lunch in Albany, New York, in November. Hank was one of those responsible for the appearance of the Dartmouth Glee Club in Troy, New York, some 25 years ago in a notable performance. While reminiscing about growing up in Hanover and Lebanon, New Hampshire, he remembered hitchhiking to Hanover on Saturdays in the winter in order to skate and play hockey on Occom Pond.

I later remembered Hanover in the early fall in the 1960s when the town, Dartmouth and high schools in Vermont and New Hampshire sponsored the Maple Sugar Bowl, an all-star football game between the states at Memorial Field. The event was complete with a Shriner’s parade on Main Street. All profits went to Shriners’ Hospital in Springfield, Massachusetts.

We look forward to the mini-reunion scheduled for October 28-30 at the Norwich Inn on the weekend of the Harvard football game. Since the College will be sponsoring our 70th reunion in September of 2017, this mini-reunion in 2016 may well be our last.

The sympathy of the class is offered to the families of classmates who died recently: the Rev. William Garfield, September 11, 2015; Everett R. Nordstrom, November 21, 2015; and Gerald Phillips, Esq., October 19, 2015.

Keep in touch.
