Class Note 1954
Our mini-reunion of September 12-13 was a great success. Attending were Jerry Barton and Peggy, Don Berlin and Barbara, Don Brief and Dottie, David Dame and Marie, Jay Davis, Bob Durham and Mary Lane, Mort Galper and Judy, Rick Hartman and Anne Gay, Roger Gilmore and Betty, Ben Gilson and Sarah, Jerry Goldstein, Herb Hillman, Tom Kelsey and Liz, Pete Kenyon and Jill, Dana Low and Anne, Dave Mandelbaum and Rosemary, Peter Murane and Rosemarie, Charley Morrison and Frances, Steve Mullins and Carol, David Ransom and Louise, Harry Robinson and Carol and son Hank, John Rosenthal and Gary, Jim Tofias and Joan, Tom Tyler, Norm Veasey and Suzanne, and Wayne Weil and Shelia. Look for more information on the next year’s 65th reunion (as well as Dartmouth’s 250th) as the time approaches.
Josh Betts ’22 is our 2018 athletic sponsor. Here’s a short bio: football and track and field captain at Manatee, played on two district championship football teams, had offers from Pioneer Football League members Jacksonville and Stetson as well as several lower-division schools. He averaged 4.7 tackles as a senior. He holds his school record in 110-meter hurdles, was county and district champ in track, and is interested in also joining the track team at Dartmouth. He enjoys golf as well as boxing and may study economics. Peter Kenyon received a letter from Andrew Samwick, the director of the Rockefeller Center: “Just over 35 years ago the center was a vision of the late Rodman Rockefeller ’54, the oldest son of Nelson A. Rockefeller ’30. That vision was informed by his father’s commitment to solving problems by bringing together experts from different disciplines. Your generosity has had a positive influence by fostering success in generations of young people—our future leaders. We want you to know the broad impact your contributions have made and continue to make to so many lives. Together, we carry on the Rockefeller Center’s traditions. It has been an honor to carry on the Rockefeller tradition of excellence.”
We regret the passing of Laurence Bain, Walter Tumeniuk, Myles Jacobs, Bill Murane, Richard Major, Maurice Wilkins Jr., and Greg Graml.
