Class Note 1962
Issue
January-February 2024
Despite the loss to Yale, the annual mini-reunion in October provided good times, fellowship, and fond reminiscences during mealtimes and the annual class meeting at the Paganucci Lounge as well as the now-traditional Saturday night dinner at Jesse’s. Thank you, Heide and Mike Schaefer,for yourlongstanding, clockwork organization of the event.
In Bangkok last October, David Feingold concluded his remarkable touring photo exhibition Cambodia War and Beauty. Versions of the show have been in Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, and Paris. (See https://tinyurl.com/5cv2jxxh.) Also see Tyko Kihlstedt’s intriguing photos titled Portraits and Annotations of the Manhattan Climate March of 2023 at https://tinyurl.com/2hu24uka.
Now on the mend, Frank Kehl shared an informative and moving account of his recent successful heart surgery at Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital. I’m unable to do it justice in the space allotted, so those interested should request a copy at fkehl@us-cx.com.
Spending summer months at their cabin in Deer Island, Maine, Zaida and Peter Knight hostedtheir annual “Maniac” micro-reunion including John Galley, Bill Carpenter and Donna Gold, and Brooke and Richard Dojny. The Knights attended the annual mini-reunion in Hanover and, later traveling to Doylestown, Pennsylvania, moved into their new apartment complex to be near their two sons and their families. As digital content manager, Peter maintains the award-winning class website (1962.dartmouth.org, where, among other things, he posts obituaries and news of reunions) and private Facebook page (“Dartmouth Class of 1962,” where classmates are encouraged to post text and photos). Peter has updated his confidential Google Earth maps of our primary and secondary residences. To access instructions, go to https://tinyurl.com/46fcpd3f. As if that weren’t enough, Peter has also assumed the duties of majordomo of the class listservs, a function previously performed by our late and sorely missed Dan Tompkins. Wah-hoo-wah, Peter.
On a personal note, Elizabeth and I have relocated to Auckland, New Zealand, for an extended, possibly permanent stay to be near Elizabeth’s remaining family. (Our mailing address remains in Florida.)
I regret to report the deaths of William “Bill” E. Marsh of Port Angeles, Washington, on January 24, 2023, and George B. Haubner of Tampa, Florida, on May 1.
