Class Note 1956
Issue
March-April 2023
Stew Wood pens this issue’s column.
Ladies and gentlemen of 1956, 70 years ago we walked onto the sacred ground of the Abenaki people, the Hanover Plain. I hope you came back at the end of last October to renew old friendships, cheer for our football team, and share in planning what’s next for our class. Tom “Rosie” Rosenwald, our president, saw to the horse and wagon Friday night and Jack Tamagni gave us reason to be confident of our finances. Rick Worrell reported on our scholarship program that continues to support undergraduates selected by the College. Stew Wood pressed us to stay faithful to the Alumni Fund and anticipate a class gift to Dartmouth when we gather for our 70th.
Our classmate George Records reports shooting birds in Driggs, Idaho, and then transitioning to shooting birdies at Pebble Beach, California! I always admired his cigar style! And John Miles, Jack Crowley’s White Plains (New York) High classmate and freshman roommate in the repurposed dorm for former female Hanover Inn employees, Brewster Hall, poeticizes his version of “The Ballad of Hook Shop Kate.” Those of you who read The New Yorker or Chaucer should not be horrified! It was rewritten 60 years ago by John—after reading it “somewhere, a long, long time ago!” He’ll share his ballad if you email him at greenfield19@msn.com.
In closing, Jack “The Other Jack” Crowley writes: Ladies and gentlemen of 1956, this is my last. I am withdrawing from writing Class Notes for DAM. Simply put—we have a difference in style. I’ve enjoyed writing the column the last two years—and will see you in ‘The Woods’! The Lone Pine will never die!”
(Jack, his style, wit, and love of our class and The Woods will be missed!)
