Class Note 1949
Issue
Jan - Feb 2016
Persis and Bob Alden invited me for dinner at the retirement home in Stamford, Connecticut, where they moved last year. Bob is a real trooper as he deals with the aftermath of a stroke a few years ago. He stays in touch with close friend Clarke Church.
George Hartmann had to cancel the mini-reunion when the caterer became ill. We’ll probably hold off on reunions until our 70th, four years from now. Slade Gorton plans to cheer for Dartmouth at the Harvard game, with both teams undefeated. Fifteen years out of the U.S. Senate, he can’t be too happy with what Congress hath come to.
David Robert Raynolds died on June 19, 2015, in Lander, Wyoming, where he lived. Dave spent the early part of his career as a diplomat with the U.S. State Department, then settled in Lander, where he operated a buffalo ranch for the past 40 years. He was a strong supporter of the Native American Center at Dartmouth. Dave is survived by his wife, May, four daughters and a son.
Raymond Eagan Millemann died July 29, 2015, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where he lived. Ray received his Ph.D. in parasitology from UCLA, was a professor at Oregon State until 1975 and then worked for the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In addition to building model trains by hand, Ray restored a Frisco train caboose, which he kept on his property. Ray is survived by his wife, Mary, son Cliff and daughter Audrey.
Robert C. Sawyer Jr. died on August 23, 2015, at his home in Greenfield, Massachusetts. Robert, who developed polio as a child and was disabled, spent his career in the insurance business in Greenfield. Unable to participate in sports, he became a superb piano player and was a leader in all sorts of educational and community activities. Robert is survived by his wife, Nancy, three daughters and a son.
Robert Nelson Parsons died on September 9, 2015. Bob, who lived in Audubon, Pennsylvania, spent his 37-year career at Automatic Timing Controls, rising from purchasing agent to president. He is survived by his wife, Jean, daughters Leslie and Linda and son Robert Jr.
