In the May/June issue of DAM I put in the names of four classmates in the hopes of hearing from them. In return I received a great note from Ben Brewster of Plymouth, Massachusetts. He writes of his family of four children, five grandchildren, one in the “great” category, and his lovely wife, Anne. And all seem to be well. He has enjoyed a busy business career and retirement, all while living in the same town. Thanks for your response, Ben. The other response came from Jenny Harvey, one of Bob’s daughters. She told me that “Bun” had died on March 5, after having lived in assisted living for more than three years. I visited him during that time and found that his memory of times past was unbelievable. He even remembered the name of my date from the Winter Carnival of 1944. (I couldn’t.) We were roommates from day one, and at 6 feet 5 inches and weighing 230 pounds, he always got the bottom bunk! We remained roommates for more than two and a half years. We played football together, though he lettered in three varsity sports. After the war we eventually ended up living in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Our kids went to the same schools, and our families shared more than a few Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. He left eight children, four stepchildren, his wife, Vicky, and 19 grandchildren. He was predeceased by his first wife, Janet.

I’m putting in three more names in hope of a response: Dick Hollerith, Don Shedd, and Charles Markley. You can reach me at jhayes697@yahoo.com.

I am indebted to Tim Wolfe, manager of the Dartmouth memorial book program, for our history and our contributions to the fund—details of which will appear in the next issue.

I regret to report the deaths of Austin Callaway, September 2, 2017; Marvin Cline, July 3, 2017; John Mansfield, September 17, 2017; Cyril Shea, November 10, 2017; and Richard Jacques, December 29, 2017.
