Class Note 1958
Issue
May - Jun 2017
Attention, Northeastern ’58s! Don’t miss the annual Norwich Inn luncheon to be staged by Frank Gould on Friday, June 2. The star attraction will be John Murphy,reflecting, says Frank, “on football stories from his days as a third-stringer for the Big Green.” Socializing starts at noon, lunch at 12:45. Who knows when it will end? Roger Bruttomesso told us in February about the upcoming March 16 Florida winter mini-reunion. Previously held at toney country clubs, Roger moved it to the distinctive Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurant in Naples. Among the expected attendees (all but one with a spouse): Dave Sharrock, Bill Cutcliffe, John Trimble, Jane Yusen, Tryg Myhren, Paul Robinson, Dave Chapin and Sam Smith.
Note two upcoming big reunions in Hanover. At the October 6-8 Homecoming mini, overseen by Dave Bradley and Frank Gould,we will again pair with the ’57s at the Lyme Inn for the concluding class banquet—with the Friday bonfire, beer and pizza party at Lewiston Station, Vermont, and the Saturday class meeting and pre-football game brunch at Dave’s law offices .
The biggest biggie will be our 60th reunion the week after Commencement in June 2018. John Trimble is looking for a reunion chairman. Care to volunteer? Mark both events on your calendar now.
We note two recent partings. Van Gilbert of Pleasanton, California, died on November 1, 2016. Writes John Kavanagh, “Van, myself and Steve Nichols came to Hanover from Lower Merion High School in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, and remained friends.” Van, a ceramic engineer, moved west when his company was acquired by Kaiser Aluminum.
On December 8, 2016, we lost John Parker of Manchester, Massachusetts, to Alzheimer’s, says wife Libby. A Tuck graduate and Delta Tau Delta brother, John grew up in Waban, Massachusetts, and eventually formed a successful Boston investment company with his brother, Brooks Parker ’55, Tu’56, and served on a slew of prestigious boards. A true man of Dartmouth, John was a highly active alum and his son, daughter and sundry other relatives attended the College. John also chaired the Peabody Essex Museum in nearby Salem, Massachusetts.
