Class Note 1962
Issue
May - Jun 2019
Since our class 50th birthday celebration in Washington, D.C., we have celebrated our birthday year together every five years. We will have a class 80th birthday celebration in San Antonio, Texas, from April 26 to 30, 2020. Features include the Alamo, Riverwalk, Spanish missions, LBJ Ranch, Fredericksburg, and a gala 80th celebration dinner. Details to follow in the class listserv and newsletter. Contact class tripmeister Tom Komarek at tckomarek@aol.com.
This year’s mini-reunion will take place October 4-6. While there is no football game, there are other sporting events, and arrangements will be made for attendees to sit in on a variety of classes Saturday afternoon. We won’t be staying at Dowd’s; instead we’ll each make our own arrangements. A couple of nearby Marriotts are likely choices, among many others. Best to reserve early as you will be competing with a Tuck reunion and leaf-peepers. Friday dinner and Saturday lunch will be at the Paganucci Lounge with your choice of food from the Commons. Saturday dinner is at Jesse’s Restaurant in Hanover. For information call Mike Schaefer (413) 221-7128 or mike@octobercompany.com.
From Ted Beal: “I traveled to Southeast Asia (India, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Singapore) for 30 days in January. My niece, recently appointed the president of Target India, brought her family to visit and I asked to tag along. The spice market and traffic in Delhi were mesmerizing. Meeting villagers in northern India who rarely see people of our skin color was a treasured experience. Kind and hospitable, these people were defined by the generosity of their spirit and not the poverty of their place. Sitting in their one-room home made me wonder if America had lost its way. My niece began in college as a night manager for Target and now manages 3,000 employees in India who provide the technology, analytics, store design, and market analysis for Target America. In an area of the world where women are not as well regarded, she is a shining contrarian.”
Veteran journalist and former UPI CEO (among many other prominent posts) L. Brewster Jackson died recently. Send remembrances to Peter Knight, dartmouth62webmaster@gmail.com.
