Class Note 1949

Issue

Jul - Aug 2017

Ray Rasenberger still lives at home in Washington, is in reasonably good shape and looking forward to celebrating his big 90th in September at his vacation home on Cape Cod. His two current Dartmouth grandsons will be among the family attendees.

Bruce Crawford and I lifted our glasses to Tom Towler at his 90th in January. The three of us and Tommy Swartz were hosted by Joel Berson when he and Tommy visited Sarasota, Florida, in March. George Hartmann planned to join us, but broken ribs from a fall stopped him. He is recovering well.

If you didn’t read the interesting interview with Carl Granger in the March-April issue of DAM (page 94), try to do so. Carl’s expertise in developing a system to measure the factors and degrees to which a person is able to be independent physically and mentally is aimed at rehabilitation from strokes, injuries or illness; however, it rings bells for all of us at our age. Great work, Carl!

Daniel Dana Jackson died in San Francisco on January 7. Deke was an All-American swimmer at Dartmouth and captained the team, which also starred Jay Urstadt; it was the start of a life-long close friendship. Deke had an extremely successful career in finance and served on several major corporate boards. Quent Kopp represented the class at his funeral. Deke is survived by his wife, Jeanne, and sons Dana, Michael and Christopher.
