Our mini-reunions are as robust as ever. Last September Charlie Pinkerton and Dave Marshall orchestrated and delivered a wonderful event at the peak of the fall foliage in Hanover. Our fall Hanover mini-reunion date is the Yale football weekend of October 10-13. Bunny and Jim Neff are working with Maggie and Mike Hurd and Yvonne and Dave Campbell on our spring min-reunion from April 22-26 in Williamsburg, Virginia. They look forward to sharing Virginia hospitality with everyone. Jim adds that Bunny and he both worked until 2000, sold their house in Canfield, Ohio, in 2009 where they lived for 28 years, and moved to the Champlain, a waterfront senior living community in Fort Monroe, Virginia. Jim says his best news is that he received a new driver’s license that expires in 2020! Plans are moving forward under the leadership of Donna and John Ferries for our 55th reunion, June 9-12, 2014. At the class meeting last September Dick Hoehn was unanimously elected to succeed Chris Cundey as our class representative to the Alumni Council. At the same meeting Chuck Donovan was announced as our new webmaster succeeding Doug Wise. John Ferries, on behalf of the Alumni Association, presented Doug with the Alumnus of the Year Award for his volunteer work for the class and College. In 2002 the College created the Richard G. Jaeger Community Service Civic Internship to honor Dick’s 25 years as admissions officer and his 13 years as director of athletics. The internship facilitates local community service by Dartmouth student-athletes and is a cooperative venture between the department of athletics (where the interns are assigned) and the Tucker Foundation (dartmouthsports.com/jaegerintern). Hugh Bishop has a career that is different than most of us. He rises at 2:15 a.m. and says he “is ready to try and catch something.” Hugh is a line trawler, “using more lines and hooks than a person on shore can visualize.” He has done this for almost 40 seasons, mostly working alone. Hugh and his sister just published a book, Marblehead’s First Harbor: The Rich History of a Small Fishing Port. Ted Johanson continues to chair the board of the Vinalhaven (Maine) Lobster Cooperative and was doubling as the manager when I visited him last October. He was busy setting prices in a stressful overly supplied market. The second largest tonnage of lobsters in New England is landed on and shipped from Vinalhaven. Ed Morris spent 22 years in the Navy as an intelligence officer, retiring in 1981. He accompanied John McCain to the Philippines from Hanoi after McCain’s release from a North Vietnam prison in March 1973. Ed was assigned as McCain’s debriefing officer for about a week before escorting him to Florida. Ed says, “Survival stories heard then changed my life forever.” Ed studied at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California. After naval service he taught English as a secondary language at the middle school level for 17 years. He and Spike Boschen keep in touch.
