Class Note 1958
Issue
Sept - Oct 2019
John Trimble’s email to the class in June conveyed the details worked out by reunion honcho Frank Gould and treasurer Mike Simberkoff for this year’s fall mini during Homecoming on October 11-13. Festivities have been shifted to the Courtyard by Marriott, away from the Lyme Inn, where we were fiscally blindsided last year. By now it’s probably too late to find a room anywhere near Hanover. But if you’re within striking distance, it might be fun to drop by for a day and touch base with classmates.
Frank says that 23 classmates and spouses attended June’s New England luncheon mini. This year’s speaker, professor Dennis Washburn, discussed a variety of pressing campus issues with them, interactively. Present for the lively give-and-take, besides Nora and Frank, were Brinna and Frank Sands,Ann and Dave Bradley, Robin and Sam Smith,Peregrine and Peter Spiegel,Pat and Jack Bennett,Julie and Dan O’Hara, andCorrinne and Dave Cassidy, Andy Petersen, Craig Haines, Ray Robbins, Ed Olney, Sheila Herman,andMary AnnHayward.
You read it first in our Sound & Fury! Late in 2018 the S&F learned that Dartmouth and Princeton would play football at Yankee Stadium on November 9. Possibly you recall the splashy photo of a gridiron digitally superimposed over the stadium’s baseball diamond. No one else paid much attention.
Now the story has gained circulation. Last season the Green narrowly lost the Ivy championship to Princeton. So the league arranged a 2019 rematch to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the first college football game, fittingly in America’s most famous ballpark. It will also celebrate Dartmouth’s 250th anniversary. Of course, this presumes that both of us will field championship-caliber teams this year. Bob Downey’s friends of football will help there.
We note several departures. John Murphy,who edited the S&F for 25 years, died June 9 in Jersey City, New Jersey, where he’d moved to be near family. Leaving too were educator Gardner DeFoe of Kingfield, Maine, on January 25; prosecuting attorney Fred Kosmo of Oxnard, California, on March 13; and my unforgettable physician roommate Lee Wight of Newport Beach, California, on July 14, 2018.
