Class Note 1963
Issue
Larry Bailey, our class president, flew from Seattle and was delayed in D.C., so he flew to Boston and then to Manchester, winding up in Hanover at midnight on Thursday. Dave Schaefer drove three hours through torrential rains Saturday morning. Dick Swett took the five-hour scenic route from the north of Maine. Dan Muchinsky and Mary Barnes came a short distance from the south. Mike and Jeanne Prince drove a few miles from the north. And so it went. More than two dozen ’63s, many with spouses, converged on Hanover for our annual Homecoming mini and they were not disappointed.
From Friday dinner at the Canoe Club through Sunday breakfast at the Hanover Inn, classmates discussed family, travel, work and retirement, books and plays, the economy, healthcare reform and the most burning question, “Could Dartmouth end its 17-game losing streak?”
Steve Kardon, still beaming after wedding Ellen Sulkin in Boston, carried the ’63 sign in the parade on Main Street ahead of Keel and Penny Jones, Bob Haubrich and Marilyn Boyd, Tom and Peggy Kraig, Ed and Charlene Mazer, Bruce and Patty Baggaley, Jim and Heidi Clouser, Chuck Wessendorf and Mary Ellen Sullivan and Bruce and Phyllis Coggeshall. Victory was in the air.
Special projects and scholarships and our 50th reunion June 7-9, 2013, headed the agenda Saturday morning in the Treasure Room of Baker Library. We were visited by two members of the class of ’13 and an ’11, all beneficiaries of this year’s ’63 scholarship fund. We voted to continue funding an athletic scholarship and Dartmouth Partners for Community Service program. Bruce Baggaley offered to outline a program on how—while others invest in monuments and buildings—’63s invest in people. Terry Russell became our new Webmaster. Tom Jester will chair our 50th reunion. Ed Mazer is spearheading an effort to assemble content for the 50th reunion book.
Rain began to fall as we headed for the stadium. Friends of Dartmouth Football served up a delightful buffet in a nearby tent. Rain started to come down harder, but it did not prevent the game from proceeding nor did it deter some hardy ’63s, Dave Schaefer and Larry Bailey included, from hanging on till the sweet end: Dartmouth’s first victory after 17 straight losses.
The celebration continued Saturday night at the home of Dan Muchinsky and Mary Barnes in beautiful Plainfield, New Hampshire. DKE brothers Steve Kardon and Hank Rogers caught up with each other. Gordy and Susan Weir were there, as were Bob Chavey and Kerry Nix, Dick and Pam Booma, Terry Russell and Diane Ames, Tom and Pat Jester, Steve and Diana Lewinstein and Bob and Kappy Berenbroick. Chuck Wessendorf was relieved about the football outcome, having attended many Dartmouth home games in the last two years. Breakfast at the Hanover Inn found a relaxed contingent of Sam and Deamie Cabot, Bill and Pat Russell, Steve and Ellen Kardon, Larry Bailey and Dick Swett enjoying waffles and eggs and sharing travel experiences in Chile and Turkey.
