Class Note 1962
Issue
May-June 2020
Congratulations to Ted Beal on the publication of his book, War Stories from the Forgotten Soldiers, “a collection of 31 riveting stories told by soldiers” stemming from nearly 5,000 interviews of combat veterans Ted conducted as a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The book, with an endorsement by President Emeritus Jim Wright, is available on Amazon. Be sure to leave a review.
Our very own research anthropologist and award-winning documentary filmmaker, Dr. David Feingold,and his wife, Dr. Heather Peters, have prepared a stunning photo exhibition, Cambodia: War and Beauty, from photos that he shot in Cambodia and in refugee camps along the Thai-Cambodia border since he first went there in 1961. Pictures include those taken with the Khmer Rouge and three other factions in the 1980s, focused on the revival and preservation of Khmer dance, focused on David’s work with deminers and the impact of mines, and the return of King Sihanouk. For a sampling of his photos and details of dates and locations of exhibitions in Cambodia and Paris, go to the “Class of ’62 Photographers” page on the class website: 1962.dartmouth.org. Any classmates wanting to attend the opening reception at the University of Paris on September 10 should contact David at ophidianfilms@hotmail.com for an invitation.
Indeed, ’round the girdled earth we roam and get together. Pics are posted on the class website of nano-reunions in Los Angeles; Houston; Peabody, Massachusetts; and Waccabuc, New York, for Gordy Aydelott’s 80 birthday celebration attended by Tom Davies, John Knight, Carl Funke, Barry Alperin, Jim Biggs, Wouter Goedkoop, John Knight, and Carl Jaeger.
Jim Blair reports full recovery from a recent stroke, allowing him and Wendy to repulse an attack of jumping worms on their rustic digs in upstate New York.
I regret to report the deaths of the following classmates: John T. “Jack” Edwards on November 6; Dennis G.R. Wilson on November 8; Gary L. Crellin, Th’64,on September 27; Richard G. “Dick” Maynard on December 28; and Dr. John E. Clark Jr. on February 20. Obituaries and remembrances can be found on the class website.
