Class Note 1957
Issue
May - Jun 2019
Monthly class of ’57 luncheons at the Three Tomatoes restaurant in Lebanon, New Hampshire, are so well attended they could be counted as mini-reunions. Classmates and spouses huddled for warmth at the most recent get-together included Marion and Bob Burton, Celeste and Dave Cook, Happy and Clark Griffith, Lucia and Rob Holland, Norma and Eric Lee, Jane and Al Rollins, Wendell Smith, Jean and Mike Smith, and Monk Bancroft’s spouse, Jane. Keep this monthly mini in mind. It’s the third Friday of every month.
Al Rollins, when not helping Clark chop down giant pine trees or attending lunch at Three Tomatoes, climbs mountains with his daughter, Barb ’84, plays basketball, flies his plane, or cuts and splits cords of firewood for those invigorating New Hampshire winters. Talk about men of Dartmouth. Granite everywhere!
Hope you received a copy of Dartmouth Medicine reporting the initiative funded by Eric Eichler enabling undergraduates to explore pressing healthcare issues. The inaugural class consisted of majors in everything from biology, physics, and statistics to sociology, economics, and Romance languages. “At the end of the day,” one student said, “it’s not about what kind of doctor I want to be, but what kind of person I want to be as a doctor.”
Publication date for Mike Lasser’s new book will be June 17. Order your copy of City Songs and American Life 1900-1950 on Amazon.
John Roberts continues to host his radio broadcast, This Week in Palestine, every Sunday morning. You can access any past broadcast online at truthandjusticeradio.org, then click on the This Week in Palestine archive.
The much-loved, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Mary Oliver, who received an honorary degree along with Eric Kunzel during our 50th reunion, has died at 83. Her passing prompted reactions from many classmates and even included favorite Oliver poems on our listserv from Bruce Bernstein, Mike Lasser, and Chris Wren.Let’s end with my own favorite words from Mary Oliver: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
