Class Note 1950
Issue
John Caldwell reports that he and three other fellows (including Paul Stone ’60) have been playing bridge every Wednesday evening for more than 25 years. They have finished three days of concentrated bridge playing in the Northern New Hampshire Contract Bridge Championships. John suggests that classmates might well take advantage of the attractions offered by the College Grant, whose 25,000 acres border Maine to the east and Canada to the north. Lee “Sak” Sarokin’s voluminous note will be shared during this and subsequent columns. Lee retired from the U.S. Court of Appeals in 1996 and moved, very happily, to Rancho Santa Fe, California, where he reports a warm day high of 73 and a cold spell low of 72 degrees and that, “ Somebody actually reported seeing a cloud one day.” Sounds like a smooth life, Sak. Bob Thomson reports winning sailboat races in J-22s on the Delaware River with his son, daughter and grandson in 2005 and 2006 and winding up champions. A casual conversation during a Hanover football game brought Joe Medlicott together with Lansing Reed, my best friend in sixth grade in 1937 and a member of the Dartmouth class of 1947. Skip Fauver’s wife, “E.,” reports that they will not be coming south this winter. We’re sorry about that, E. and Skip. Since this august magazine committed what I believe was an unpardonable sin in 2010, ceasing the publication of obituaries in print and only online, I have been remiss in failing to report the deaths of classmates. Here is a list. (Numbers in parentheses are pages in our 50 yearbook in which personal biographies, if available, appear). In 2010 Robert “Bob” Krom, December 4 (172). In 2012 William “Bill” Sullivan, November 4 (313); Strueby Lloyd Drum Jr., November 10. In 2013 Thomas E. Richmond, January 1; Warren “Bud” Nagle, January 20 (236); Bruce A. Rogal, February 8 (272); James “Cav” Cavanaugh II, March 23; Carl N. Reed Jr., March 24 (266); James “Jim” Pressey, April 29 (260); Earl “Put” Putnam, May 2; Edward “Ed” Sawyer, May 9 (284); Pieter “Piet” von Herrmann, July 1 (339); George C. Carpenter III, August 2 (55); William “Bill” Ziegler, August 4 (368); Eric “Rick” Miller, August 29 (219). —Nev Chamberlain, 1835 N.
