Class Note 1962
Issue
Mar - Apr 2017
Late in 2014 Ann and Bill McDonald bought a home in Ventura, California, and now spend most of their time there. Bill continues his daily six-mile workouts, although numerous injuries through the years have him mostly power walking now in place of jogging. He still calls Beverly, Massachusetts, home and retains a small place in Beverly, although bicoastal ownership responsibilities and weather considerations may cause him eventually to give up the Beverly property. Although two of his children live in California, he also has a couple in Massachusetts so we hope to see him back here on a regular basis.
After nearly a decade of investment counseling in Asia, five years in New York and 25 more in Boston, Jeff Brown is living in southern New Hampshire (which he points out some call northern Massachusetts) and is happily engaged in family activities and golf. You can tell that from a guy whose email address is “Sixputts.” He’s still weighing attending the 55th in June but notes that the experience would be lessened by the absence of the late Dave Walsh, Tom Cutter and many others. That’s true for all of us. Let’s all try, though, to get back to Hanover to renew old friendships and remember good times spent with those who are gone.
In recent years Marnie and Jim Haines (my online Scrabble partner) have cruised around South America, through the Panama Canal both ways and around the Pacific, including French Polynesia, New Zealand, Australia and the Hawaiian Islands. They loved the travel; however, Jim reports, “It did mean forsaking the beautiful winter weather in Pittsburgh. So here we are, at home again in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, dedicated to enjoying blissful domesticity and the absence of long lines, heavy luggage and running the TSA gauntlet. We move north in the summer to Les Cheneaux Islands and a little town called Cedarville, Michigan, where we watch wildlife, commune with nature and regroup with visiting kids and grandkids. As Al Huck would say, ‘Life is good.’ ”
Marnie and Jim missed seeing classmates this past fall at the mini and look forward to catching up again in June at our 55th. “Meanwhile, if any are passing through, either here or up north, give us a jingle. We’d love to see you.”
I regret to report the death this past November 18 of Chuck Naeser in Arlington, Virginia. At Dartmouth Chuck was a member of Phi Kappa Psi and enjoyed skiing and Outing Club activities. He had a distinguished career as a research geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in California, Colorado and finally in Virginia. His widow, Dr. Nancy D. Naeser, reached out to the class to tell us how much Dartmouth meant to Chuck and to her and that she hopes to stay in contact with the College and ’62. Further details may be found at the “In Memoriam” section of our website: http://1962.dartmouth.org.
Hope to see you all in Hanover in June at the 55th.
