Class Note 1955
Class of 1955—an excellent class! We are pleased to report that the College’s ranking of 71 classes placed us among only 12 classes ranked excellent for 2009-10—and only five classes scored higher than ’55. President Jack Doyle thanks all our classmates for their continued support of class projects, programs and reunions.
Speaking of reunions, you still have time to join classmates at the June 11-14 mini at Mackinac Island, Michigan, hosted by Dan Musser. Just a few rooms remain; contact Betty Brady at (508) 785-0790 or doverhugh@comcast.net.
Frank Carlton’s (and Nancy’s) list of activities and community involvement at their Eugene, Oregon, retirement village plus travel is staggering. Frank detailed in their Christmas note the various committees they chair plus outings to plays and operas and even some snow shoveling. Not only did they get to our 55th last year, but also toured New Mexico on an Elderhostel in March. Post-reunion they spent a week near Mont Tremblant, Quebec, in the Laurentian Mountains.
Tom Calloway (Porterville, California) told us of his and Carol’s travels throughout California (Pebble Beach, Carmel) during the summer to dodge the high temperatures all the while wondering why California wants to build a high-speed line from nowhere to nowhere. Dick Gardner and Audrey (Dover, Delaware) had a good ski trip to Colorado and will do a river cruise this summer in the Ukraine, where Dick will do genealogical research on his grandmother.
We sadly note the passing of Hart Perry in early February. As many of you know, Hart had dedicated his life’s work and interests to rowing. He was executive director of the National Rowing Association and was known as the “godfather” of his sport. Hart had just returned from London, where he had received the 2010 World Distinguished Service to Rowing Award. A special memorial service is scheduled for April 16 at Kent School.
Dartmouth College Fund: Please remember to support the hard work of chairman Woody Goss and his team in this important annual giving effort for the College and the class.
