Let’s take a moment to reflect on the months at the beginning of this year. The Covid pandemic emergency was declared over. Southern California experienced record amounts of snow and rain. Winter Carnival was all but cancelled for lack of cold or snow. We had a great Zoom mini-reunion in February, and it highlighted a Dartmouth professor addressing the timely topic of Ukraine. It was well received by all who attended, and that presentation is on our website. Check it out. We are proceeding on additional class website updates and upgrades. We are working through a backlog of obituaries also and we will get them posted on our website as soon as we can. Jim Wooster has been so good at keeping a bunch of us updated on Dartmouth athletics. The reports are not always ones of victories, but they do keep us attuned to the fact that athletics are an integral and important part of Dartmouth. We are also thankful to Wayne French and Chris Cundey for their leadership role in the Alumni Fund. Some of their agents may well be in touch with you before June.

Do stay connected and let me know of your happenings or classmate encounters. Feel free to send pictures. Sam Werner, who composes the class newsletter, and I are always on the prowl for updates from you.
