Two of the best times in Hanover are spring and fall, especially the former. This time of year, the leaves seem to explode overnight as the days get longer. The fall colors have their own beauty and they tend to get more attention, but this time of year is like a new awakening, as you may recall. We hope this past winter season has been comfortable for you as we mark our 77th year as part of the Dartmouth family. One of the pleasures of reporting on classmates’ activities is when we are able and interested in keeping our friendships alive. It gets tougher as we get older. Therefore, it was with particular pleasure that we received a note and photos of a gathering in New York City of three legends in our class, Ken Roman, John Rosenwald, and Jim Rosenfield. The message was from Ken, and he reports that the three of them renew their bonds whenever possible. These three classmates are part of a group of ’52s who have through the years been super-active in every regard, and it is rewarding to know they are doing well and staying in touch. By the way, when three of us get together these days, it is about 244 years of Dartmouth experience at work; lots of stories there.

What’s your story? We’d like to hear from you.
