Class Note 1949
Issue
Jan-Feb 2020
Fourteen of us made it back to Hanover for our 70th reunion: Joel Berson, Mike Gish, Slade Gorton, Quent Kopp, Joe LeBlanc, Bob Rooke, Jim Smith, Tom Swartz, Ray Truncellito, Skip Ungar, Richie Wolff, Paul Woodberry, Jim Zafris, and yours truly. We were treated to sunny, 75-degree weather, great hospitality by the College in a totally renovated ($500 a night) Hanover Inn, and a 38-3 romp over Colgate. Ray, Skip, and I were re-elected at the class meeting as president, newsletter editor, and secretary, respectively. Merry widows (self-described) Beth Griffiths, Anne Hartmann, Margo Nutt, and Barbara Rosenfield also enhanced the occasion.
Skip, who remarkably can still remember his full repertoire of songs and play them as well as ever, entertained us again—with more than his music. An archaeology professor lectured on the deep dig of an old privy currently taking place on the left corner of the Green opposite the inn. Any questions? Skip’s “Did you find my watch?” brought down the house of 200.
Joe LeBlanc made his first reunion in 20 years. Joe left Dartmouth after two terms, spent four years in the Navy, and graduated later. His 39-year career as a private school teacher and administrator in Kansas City, Missouri, ended when he retired in 2007.
Out of the blue, Jim Mytton sent me 52 years of DAM Class Notes columns, beginning in 1967 and covering 10 class secretaries before me: Tommy Swartz, Punchy Thomas, Paul Woodberry, Charley Schuetz, Vail Haak, Quent Kopp, Bruce Crawford, Bob Nutt, Doug Thompson, and Dean Merrill. Stay tuned for more from me and Skip Ungar.
Robert Baum died on September 22, 2019, in New York City, where he lived. Bob, who expected to attend our reunion, was president and owner of US Packaging and Design. He enjoyed sailing at his second home in Stonington, Connecticut. Bob is survived by his son, Eric.
Richard H. Kamm died on June 12, 2019, in Rome, Italy, where he lived. Richard, a professional artist, has two sculptures in the Hood Museum. He had no survivors.
Alfred Burke Sullivan died on August 25, 2019, in San Marcos, Texas, where he lived. Al was known as the “Ivy League Cowboy” who nixed Harvard Law School to become a Navy Fly Boy for 20 years. Later, he earned his doctorate at the University of Utah and taught political science at Texas State University. Al is survived by his wife, Macel, son Edward, and daughter Susan.
