Class Note 1951
Issue
Jul - Aug 2018
There is still time to make plans to attend our “summer vacation in Hanover” mini-reunion August 7-10. Henry Nachman, who has his finger on the pulse of every activity on or near the campus, has dished up a mouth-watering array of options for us, including dinner at the new Moosilauke Ravine Lodge, a faculty lecture, and a performance by a regional opera company. Among many wonderful meals: brunch in Nathan’s Garden (next to Barbara Hall’s home).
Or we can just enjoy Dartmouth’s beautiful campus, including the greatly expanded arts and innovation complex now under construction next to the Hanover Inn. Anchored by the Hopkins Center and the fully re-imagined Hood Museum, this centerpiece of Hanover life and culture will include the Black Family Visual Arts Center and the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network’s new venture innovator.
Or—and this is what reunions are really about—we can delight in reconnecting with friends from 70 years ago. It is always a joy to hear their stories and perspectives and to share ours.
Dr. Jim Cavanagh, a faculty member at Florida State University College of Medicine since 2001, has been honored for his 60-plus years of excellence in surgical medicine. Jim is now a fulltime volunteer in the department of biomedical sciences, teaching anatomy to first- and second-year medical students. He previously had a distinguished career in general surgery.
Bill and Ki Leffler continue to serve their community of Kennebunkport, Maine. Bill chairs an advisory committee dedicated to helping seniors age in place and qualifying the town as an age-friendly community. Ki is a member of Kennebunkport’s budget board.
Woody Klein has concluded a lifetime as a journalist, retiring after 50 years writing a column for Westport News in Connecticut. Along the way Woody served as a reporter for The Washington Post and The New York World Telegram and Sun. He was press secretary to New York Mayor John Lindsay between 1966 and 1973.
Six more classmates have died. We will greatly miss Russ Keep, Joe Lux, Bill Mulligan, Dave O’Neill, Franz Pick, and Jerry Staton.
