Class Note 1958
Issue
Sept - Oct 2016
The annual Norwich Inn luncheon reunion on June 4 was a well-attended success. It was arranged by Frank Gould, entertained by the presence of John Murphy and enlightened by Peter Speigel, emeritus chairman of the DHMC radiology department. He gave an after-lunch talk titled “The First Clinical X-Ray: A Dartmouth Experiment.” Even a dubious Murphy said he enjoyed Peter’s presentation. Also present were Craig Haines, Frank Sands, Julie and Dan O’Hara, Pat and Jack Bennett, Sue and Ed Olney, Sally and Ralph Manuel, Sheila Herman, Sally Gundy, Sheila Kabat, Marcia Armstrong, Kent Woodger, Dave Payne, Corrine and David Cassidy, Bob Hicken and Barbara Ann Trowbridge, Ann and Dave Bradley, plus Nora Gould and Peregrine Spiegel. Frank also plugged our Homecoming reunion slated for October 28-30, which he orchestrates too, and features home football vs. Harvard and some new wrinkles. Do come!
A note from Jerry Manne tells of attending “an excellent presentation by coach Buddy Teevens about the coming football season” with fellow Chicago area classmates Gersh Abraham and Skip Coggin. Coach also talked about “significant” NCAA and NFL interest in “Dartmouth’s work to minimize concussions with non-contact practices.”
Marine officer Andy Toorock presided as grand marshal of the Memorial Day parade in his hometown of Westborough, Massachusetts. “The Marines sent some fine gentlemen to honor my dad and the other servicemen,” says daughter Lynn Landers. See colorful photo in the latest Sound & Fury.
It is our sad duty to report several deaths. Dick Pew, hardworking head of our Dartmouth College Fund effort until handing over the job to John Coulter, succumbed to cancer, an ailment he made public last year, in June in Portland, Maine. Andy Thomas of Pinehurst, North Carolina, died in May of his previously reported ailments—having held nearly every class officer job, been named Webmaster of the Year by the College and singlehandedly honchoed installation of the Class of 1958 Clock on Main Street, Hanover. In April Bill Glos reported we’d lost Bob Platt of Mooresville, North Carolina, also very active in class and alumni affairs. Full obits and photos are in the S&F.
