Class Note 1960
Issue
January-February 2023
By the time this is published we will have had our Homecoming class meeting while now anticipating our 85th birthday in Charleston, South Carolina. Make sure you have registered and signed up for events at dartmouth1960birthday.com.
Marilyn and Jim Gallagher are looking forward to the 85th birthday celebration next April. All will enjoy the “Boston of the South” that time of year. Their 45th wedding anniversary is also that weekend, so they’ll be celebrating two enjoyable events.
Sylvia, Bob Kahn’s loving wife for 58 years, recently died at home peacefully in her sleep. In mourning he found it helps to keep busy, attend a bereavement group, and read Getting Grief Right by Patrick O’Malley and Tim Madigan.
At one reunion Dick Levy shared a mini-reunion of people who rowed crew. He had been a member of the lightweight crew, mainly because the boat had to average less than 155 pounds and he balanced out the heavier guys. The newsletter reunion picture showed Dick with seven other, mostly heavyweight, crew members in makeshift crew uniforms holding oars. They rowed together in one boat at the reunion. The others in the picture were mostly a foot taller and a hundred pounds heavier than Dick. There were seven names in the caption and one, Dick Levy, the apparent interloper from another species, listed as “unidentified.” So much for his fame as a Dartmouth athlete!
Listed among Dartmouth’s 100 best athletes is our own Jack Herrick. Described as “more influential globally than any other American” when he was inducted in the U.S. Squash Hall of Fame in 2012, Herrick captained the U.S. men’s team at four world championships in the 1980s. He won the 45s World Masters in 1983, becoming the first American to win a world singles title. He served as president of U.S. Squash and chairman of the World Professional Squash Association.
Reed Browning recently published The Casebook of Clarence Ralston, the fourth in a series of murder mysteries featuring two retired friends. An obscure casebook is the central clue in solving two murders. Since the book is not available in stores or on Amazon, interested classmates should feel free to contact Reed at browninr@kenyon.edu.
