We all have special memories of the 50th. I list here a few of mine. Chatting with Jerry Herlihy, recently retired Delaware chief judge, at Saturday breakfast under the tent. My wife, Nicole, racing from Main Street to be in class photo in front of Dartmouth Hall. Sitting with old friend Len Levitt at memorial service in Rollins Chapel. Meeting up at Saturday lunch on the river with Rick Kramer of Paradise Valley, Arizona; painter Peter Dudley with wife Francesca from Greenfield, Massachusetts; David Rogers, Mayflower descendent; lawyer Howard Culver and wife Monique, also a lawyer, from La Quinta, California, by way of Cannes, Nice and Montreal; Steve Rosen, 25 years with Goldman Sachs, whose wife, Chickie, was sidelined at home with a torn meniscus. Returning to dorm from Saturday afternoon seminar on aging and finding psychologist Larry Stiffler, Brookline, Massachusetts, completing a long run. Napping and regrettably missing Dick Berkowitz, Ken Novack and other Pi Lam reunion celebrants at Hanover Inn. Listening to animated conversation of Parisian Ed Torn, retired French teacher Neil Duprey, Monique Culver and my wife before dinner on the river Saturday night. Hearing moving acceptance speeches from Soaring Pine winners. Enjoying Paul Binder’s entertaining recap of news from the Sixties and Thad Seymour’s true tales of life as a freshly minted dean. Catching up with lawyers Dan Matyola and Mike Cardozo after dinner. Experiencing beautiful Commencement exercises with Len and Bobbi Waldbaum of Denver. Sharing Chuck Wessendorf’s satisfaction from his organized trip to Mount Moosilauke, which included 33 people with nine men and women who actually hiked to the top. What are your memories?
