Class Note 1962
Issue
Sep - Oct 2017
We’re still basking in the glow of our fantastic 55th reunion in June. Kudos to the co-chairs Dick Brooks and Bill Pierce, the College, our class officers and so many others who worked hard to make our time together so successful and enjoyable. The weather cooperated such that all of our outdoor lunches, dinners and other activities were held as scheduled under beautiful Hanover skies.
Don’t miss upcoming opportunities for more gatherings of ’62. Our autumn mini-reunion is October 6-8 (Dartmouth Homecoming Weekend, Dartmouth vs. Yale football). And you probably can still get reservations for the rapidly filling April 22-29, 2018, ’62 Mississippi River cruise from Memphis to New Orleans. Details at our website, 1962.dartmouth.org.
A special note of appreciation to David “Bags” Bergman, who arranged and was MC for the entertainment at our class dinner on the Baker Library lawn. The highlight was a performance rivalling the Radio City Rockettes by an extraordinary group of ’62 women who led us down a musical memory lane of song and dance.
As for Bags, he is happily retired in the San Diego area and enjoying the house-husband activities of home, gardens, boat, cats, shopping, cooking and finances. He also enjoys practicing guitar riffs, exercise, reading and singing in the choir with Gretchen. He actively supports Gretchen as she “tries to take care of the world: fighting for sensible and humane public health-oriented drug policy,” organizing A New PATH (Parents for Addiction Treatment and Healing; anewpath.org) as an advisory board member, editor and speaker, bringing his professional medical voice to the parent-driven advocacy for therapeutic rather than punitive drug policy. This campaign has now grown to representation in 32 states and seven countries, which also includes national actions to save lives with Naloxone (a safe drug that can quickly reverse an accidental opioid overdose) trainings and distribution.
As outgoing secretary this is my final set of ’62 notes, written with input from our new secretary, David L. Smith. Please let your classmates know what you’re up to these days by sending your information for publication to him at david@davidlsmith.com.
