Well, we have traversed through another summer. Students are back on campus and fall sports teams are tuning up. We have had another Zoom mini-reunion and we are planning for another one in the September timeframe. We may grouse about the reliance on the internet in lieu of live events, but the reality of it is that we have been able to gather classmates who by choice or necessity would not travel to Hanover for a mini. Classmates, faculty members, administrators, and students have all been available and reachable and reached out through the mechanism of the internet.

Of particular note is John Ferries, who has volunteered and done considerable preparation to make meaningful and thought-provoking presentations during our mini-reunions. We all agree that they have been terrific. John, we thank you greatly and you have taken the cover off the fact that many classmates have the ability to bring their lives, careers, and thought processes to bear and provide discussions which could be the centerpieces for future class mini-reunions. We are now looking forward to the multimedia class reunion during a weekend in October, which will be Homecoming and the hosting of a daytime Dartmouth football game. Since it appears that this game will be widely available and viewable, it may well be an opportunity for localized mini-reunions, wherever you may be. We are anticipating both in-person and internet participation and hope that this will provide a meaningful way for you to stay in touch with the vibrancy of the College and our class. Please keep Sam Werner or me up to date on your latest activities.
