Class Note 1962
Issue
July-August 2024
At a gala in New York City, President Sian Leah Beilock announced the largest gift dedicated to the arts in Dartmouth’s history—$25 million from Daryl and Steven Roth, Tu’63, as the lead gift toward the visionary reimagining of the Hopkins Center for the Arts. The 15,000-square-foot expansion will be known as the Daryl and Steven Roth Wing. Bravi, Steve and Daryl!
Tripmeisters Tom Komarek (tckomarek@aol.com) and Roger Usborne (rwusborne@cox.net) are busy planning our 85th birthday celebration to be held April 27 to May 1, 2025, at the Westin Riverwalk Hotel in San Antonio, Texas. Highlights include visits to the Alamo, Mission San Jose, El Mercado, and the Pearl District, plus a cruise down the Paseo del Rio. We will also travel to historic Fredericksburg, Texas, to visit the Museum of the Pacific War and local resident Bill Sadd will arrange a bonus lunch for us at the Fredericksburg Brewery. Tom recommends trip cancellation insurance. Details, costs, and signup online at https://gateway.gocollette.com/link/1190560.
Mini-reunion chairman Mike Schaefer (mschaefer@octobercompany.com) anticipates a good turnout for this year’s mini-reunion to be held during Homecoming Weekend November 1-3 (Harvard). The cost of meals and drinks is $170 per person. Look for further details—including itinerary, contact numbers for nearby hotels, and a mail-in sign-up sheet—in Al Huck’s class newsletter.
Recent nano-reunions: Peripatetic Arja and Alan Rapoport met with Heide and Mike Schaefer at Stamford, Connecticut; and with Ngila and Mike Howard in London. Zaida and Peter Knight joined with David Feingold, Martha and Bob Sprafkin in Philadelphia. Bob Katz, Wendy Miller and Jim Blair, Candy and Carl Funke, Dorothy and Frank Kehl, Eugenia and Rusty Hays, Elaine Osterhaut and Ross Burkhardt met in Ramsey, New Jersey.
Retired tennis great Roger Federer will be the Commencement speaker for the class of 2024 on June 9.
I regret to report the deaths of Stephen “Steve” D. Nutt of Choctaw, Oklahoma, on January 29 and Jay E. Moyer of New York City on March 21.
