Class Note 1958
Issue
Nov - Dec 2017
The August Sound & Fury and a September formal invite have long since reported the salient details about our 60th reunion.
The dates are June 11 to 14, 2018, the week after Commencement. Running the show will be co-chairs Gersh Abraham and Frank Gould. Their reunion committee, the guys and gals in charge of everything from entertainment, special events to local transportation and daily meals, include Mel Alperin, Jack Bennett, Sandy Bromwell, Dave Bradley, Skip Coggin, John Coulter, Sheila Herman, Sheila Kabat, Pete Kelsey, Steve Nichols, Dan O’Hara, Skip Raymond, Frank Sands, Norm Sylvester and Walter Vail. (Walt, sorry that a fat-finger typing error left you out of the August Sound & Fury listing.)
Relax! Reconnect! Reminisce! That alliterative triad is the theme of the reunion, crafted by the fertile mind of Larry Weltin, who ran the 55th in 2013. Short and sweet, his words say it all as far as the reunion planners are concerned. It will be held a week after the College’s Commencement week crush, we hope amid summery early June weather. Accommodations and principal events taking place will be readily accessible by all, be it on foot or via rented vans.
In the works too is a memorial service at Rollins Chapel with the Rev. Pete Kelsey officiating. And, of course, the ritual class photograph on the steps of Dartmouth Hall, plus a windup class banquet the final night, plus the class meeting at which successors to class officers Trimble, Sylvester, Bennett and Quickel will be voted into office for the next five years.
The 60th is the last reunion sanctioned by the College. But rest assured that we’ll still be getting together at mini-reunions—such as the Homecoming mini in the fall, the Florida minis in the winter and the luncheon mini Frank has staged every June at the Norwich Inn in Vermont.
By the time you receive this column, written in late August, there’ll still be plenty of time to arrange to meet old friends, brothers, teammates and surviving spouses next June 11-14. So get on the horn now while the thought is fresh in mind. See you there!
