Class Note 1955
As we read these notes in the July/August issue of the alumni magazine, one hopes we can be looking back and saying that we sure are glad the experiences of March, April, and perhaps May are behind us now. Grandchildren have been able to graduate (even though delayed) from high school or college, children and grandchildren are back at work, those in the family who were at risk (adult and infant) are less so, those in the family who are healthcare workers or first responders are no longer on the firing line—one hopes. This is Ken Lundstrom pinch-hitting for secretary John Dinan, who is in the Maine Veterans’ Homes in Scarborough, Maine, at this writing, rehabbing from a stroke he experienced on March 1. We wish John a full and rapid recovery.
We sadly add that our “Treasurer for Life” Ralph Sautter passed away on March 28. A memorial to Ralph was featured by Joe Mathewson in a special issue of our class newsletter.
I believe that most of us stayed all hunkered down. Harry Weil checked in from Silver Springs, Maryland, where he and Nancy are apartment bound, so to speak, with meals delivered by their retirement home. Delivery of the daily papers has helped ease boredom, as does some other activities. Similarly, Sharon and Tom McGreevey and Coyla and Ed Barry are locked down with meals delivered at their retirement condos in Durham, North Carolina. There are others, I am sure. Some have been aided, as we have, by thoughtful neighbors who did grocery shopping for us. Bless them one and all.
Ellen and Marty Aronson have distanced themselves on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and Carol and John French also at their home in Sharon, Connecticut.
Of note is the Hood exhibition in May of Dartmouth faculty studio art supported by the Bernard R. Siskind Fund.
The April mailing about the 65th did not go as planned. The 65th remains on schedule. You should get the registration forms in July.
Sadly, we report the passing of Bill Foggle, Don Hummel, Nick Kotz, Jack Krumpe,and Peter Teal, M.D.
