Class Note 1947
Issue
March-April 2020
I watched a TV program in December honoring Fred Rogers ’50. He must have been a freshman when we were seniors. And the wonderful memories flooded back of watching my children listening to “It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.” Fred also gave the Commencement address to the class of 2002. Watching how the show was made with Tom Hanks playing Fred was just as good as the movie itself. Great story.
Activities are ongoing on campus throughout the year, but so too are they off campus. This is a tribute to the Dartmouth Center for Social Impact. Five students from Dartmouth, along with two professors, traveled to Puerto Rico to work with departments there to help with a food justice program to maintain local and sustainable farming. Another group went to New Orleans to help repair homes that had been improperly repaired after Hurricane Katrina. San Salvador welcomed another group to learn about local nonprofits’ work and help in the clearance of debris in gardens, build a compost system, and catalog site plants. Hooray to those students.
As a former member of the football team that played in the war years of 1944, I feel it wouldn’t be proper not to make mention of the recent success of Dartmouth’s team in 2019. Buddy Teevens ’79 did a great job in coaching this group, even though they had to share the Ivy League title with Yale. They did beat Yale 40 something to 10 during the season. Wait ’til next year!
We are saddened to report the death of the Rev. Charles J. Quinn of Dobbs Ferry, New York, on November 17, 2019; Joseph G. Wierschem of Minneapolis on May 14, 2019; Allen Charlton of Kissimmee, Florida, on November 22, 2019; Howard W. Deese of Charlotte, North Carolina, on June 14, 2019; and William V. Goode of New York City on April 25, 2019. The College has also recently learned of the deaths of Martin S. Levy of Rego Park, New York, on August 11, 2012; John E. Fuller of Somers, New York, on August 5, 2011; Edward J. Dawson of Philadelphia on April 12, 2011; Ernest M. Caster of Roswell, Georgia, on December 6, 2008; and Sherman M. Gleason of Brevard, North Carolina, on May 16, 2007.
