Class Note 1958

Issue

July-August 2024

The class of 1958 will be holding its fall mini-reunion during the first weekend in October. On that Saturday, October 5, during the football game versus Penn, the College will commemorate the Buddy Teevens Stadium at Memorial Field. About the time this issue of Dartmouth Alumni Magazine is published, Frank Gould will be sending out his normal flyer announcing the weekend’s other activities. The weekend will be filled by the usual fare that Frank organizes so well. The Courtyard by Marriott has set aside several rooms for us at a reasonable rate and Frank’s material will include instructions on how to make a reservation. In other news, Jerry Manne writes that during his annual visit to Hawaii he was able once again to visit with widows Sue Bahrenburg Matthews and Jan Wysard. Marcia Armstrong also writes that she has moved to a continuing care retirement community in Shelburne, Vermont, to be near family. Joel Potash emailed that on May 23 he will receive a B.M.C. Durfee High School Distinguished Alumnus Award. He was a class of ’54 graduate at the school in Fall River, Massachusetts. John Hart emailed that Lu, his wife of 62 years, died two-plus years ago; he then found Carol. “We live in Mississippi and Wyoming unless we are somewhere else.” While the class continues to celebrate those many of us who are members of the 1769 Society and the Harold C. Ripley ’29 Society, which recognizes donors who have given to the fund every year since leaving Hanover, it also has a proud number of the Bartlett Tower Society members. Further, we support the Class of 1958 Scholarship Fund that was formed more recently and is now paired with two scholars. In conjunction with our continuing outstanding contributions to the Dartmouth College Fund, the class has been encouraging legacy gifts to the scholarship fund as we strive to reach the threshold for a third pairing. Sadly, we report the passing of Benny McAdams, Paul Duffy Jr., and Andy Peterson.
