Just a jog: Our mini is October 20-21 (Columbia game). Joel (and Veda) Leavitt are back at Cape Cod, Massachusetts, until October. “Mo” Devoe participated in yet another Women of Dartmouth seminar and stated, “It is a terrific program.” “Toots” and Joe Meddlicott are moving into Kendal in Hanover so will not host planned festivities for our mini this year. My mention of a visit (and lunch) with Karen and Dave Taylor at Maplewood (Weston, Massachusetts) omitted that we were joined by Marge Nichols that day. Prez Bob Kirby and Brownlee attended a recent Dartmouth Club of Princeton event and were impressed with conversations they had with members of the class of 2025 (75 years later than us ’50s!). The Carpenters’ (new) pooch Casey (17 years old) replaced Lincoln and gets everyone out and about walking him. Doug and Meredith Smith attended a lecture at the Dickey Center. Prez and Brownlee attended a May 7 program featuring Mark Brzezinski ’87 (our ambassador to Poland) with an analysis of the Russian/Ukraine crisis (a program supported by the Dickey Center—and thus the class). Your scribe had a nice visit with Andy Oliver, who has been living at the Ithaca, New York, Kendal with wife Mary for the past 27 years. He’d welcome a call from any one at (315) 399-6763.

Jilly Harned is still enriching her bucket list with trips to Turkey and Alaska. We meet for the mini Friday October 20 at 100 Tuck and our contact is Liz Nunez at (603) 646-9113. We send condolences to families of class members deceased since last issue: William R. Sapers, William Balderson, Cmdr. Frederick “Fritz” K. Rubins, Aaron B. Stevens, M.D., and C. Curtis Dunnavan.
