As our alma mater closes out the celebration of Year 250, we close out our Year 71 as members of the Dartmouth family and we wish you all the best in good health for 2020. The fall season saw some interesting class activity. There were 24 members of our class who went on to graduate from the Dartmouth, now Geisel, School of Medicine. Three of them are still active and held a mini-reunion during Homecoming Weekend in Hanover. Dr. Ben Stein and his wife, Bonita, coming up from their home in New Jersey, were joined by Dr. Robert Millhouse and family members from southern California and Dr. Ray Jankowich, arriving from Fairfield County, Connecticut. Also, two other classmates had hoped to be here for that weekend, but had to cancel at the last minute. Terry Malone, a Michigan resident, outdid himself in the late summer with a safari to Africa and his doctor thought a trip to the wilds of New Hampshire would be a little over the top. Jack Boyle and his wife, Dodie, were looking forward to a three-generation Dartmouth family reunion with their son, Edward ’87, and his two undergrad offspring, Jojo ’20 and Jeikson ’23. However, a bug got loose in Boston and derailed the senior Boyles’ trip. They’ll reschedule. Toward the end of October, Ken Roman and his wife, Ellen, visited Hanover from New York to participate in a well-attended Hood Museum weekend symposium. Ken is an active Hood supporter and on one of their boards. He reports that he and Ellen were most impressed with the newly expanded Hood. We all are. Put a visit on your calendar. We have also had good phone visits with Kermit Ingham (Oklahoma), Bob Ringstad (Massachusetts), and Dr. Harry Wachen and Ross Daniels (both New York). Did we discuss health issues? Are they doing all right? Yes and yes. However, we are very sorry to report the passing of five more classmates, Frank Cory, Lyle Spalding, Kenneth Douglas Jr., Hunter Harvey Jr., and the Rev. Elmer Sullivan.Stay well.
