Class Note 1947
Issue
May - Jun 2019
This is written in early February. It is 2 degrees above zero. We have a fire going in our woodstove and enough wood stacked for many months to come, but our mind is set to the end of month, when we will be in the warmer clime of Anguilla, British West Indies.
How many remember the term “drop a dime”? When I asked my local bridge friends, only one had the right answer (but they’re all slightly younger than I am). So as not to keep you in suspense it means make a phone call.
I dropped a dime the other day to get an update on my old friend Hardy Handren and his wife, Eleanor. They’re alive and well and Hardy wanted to know when our 75th would take place. I really like his planning ahead. It’s 2022—and I told him to be there! After all, we were joined by five or six 75th reuners at our 70th and they were all in great shape.
Received a note from Dick Hollerith with his comment, “Hanging in there.” Aren’t we all. He is recovering from a compression fracture of his vertebrae and, with the help of his lovely wife, Romy, is on the mend. They’re enjoying their time at Windsor Meade apartments in Williamsburg, Virginia. Thanks for checking in.
Now I continue our discussion on where your class dues go. We have covered class contributions to the athletic sponsors program and the library, and now we highlight a program we support at the Dickey Center. I am indebted to Dickey associate directors Melody Burkins and Tom Candon for all the information they sent me on the center for information understanding. The mission is, as the title suggests, to have students travel overseas to engage the world through internships, fellowships, research, entrepreneurship, and policy. It also has more than 80 students in the Great Issues Scholars program, inspired by President Dickey’s “Great Issues” course. They also host multiple student internal organizations for international development, business, science, and policy. The visiting lecture series are designed to let students interact one-on-one with global leaders, scholars, and government officials.
In our past fall reunions, not only did we have the President’s intern speak to us, but we had students from the Dickey Center tell us of their travels to foreign lands. Our money is well spent.
We are saddened to report the death of Joseph W. Lovell Jr. in Schenectady, New York, on December 17, 2018.
