Class Note 1963
Issue
Come to our ’63 Hanover mini-reunion, October 29-31, when the Big Green battles Harvard. Enjoy our Friday night dinner at the Canoe Club on Main Street and march with our class to the Dartmouth Green. You will hear inspirational speeches against the brightly lit Dartmouth Row and, if you are lucky, see President Kim dash around the bonfire with 2014s in tow. Our executive committee meets over breakfast Saturday in the Treasure Room of Baker Library. Spouses and friends are welcome. Our 50th reunion, June 7-9, 2013, tops the agenda. Before and after the game, shop, stroll, visit haunts or the magnificent Hood Museum before driving the gorgeous country route to the home of Dan Muchinsky and Mary Barnes for our Saturday night reception and dinner. Friends will gather for breakfast Sunday morning at the Hanover Inn, but be sure to pick up some doughnuts at Lou’s for the trip back. Questions? Contact mini chair Sam Cabot at scabot@cabotfamily.com, (978) 927 2333.
Nick Carney, author of two books on early family life in Alaska and another on World War II, served on the Wasilla, Alaska, City Council for four years with Sarah Palin. The two had a falling out when she became mayor and haven’t talked in 20 years, Nick says. Nick, a former business owner, and Helen, an accountant, are retired in Ivins, Utah. Daughter Katy, an accountant, was a high school classmate of Palin. Son B.J. ’88 is CFO of a California company. To order signed copies of Nick’s books, e-mail him at hcarney@beyondbb.com. Nick is in touch with pals John Bell and Fred Chaffee.
Stu Richards, petition candidate last spring for the Association of Alumni executive council, says, “it is simply untrue” that all petition candidates are backers of the Hanover Institute and litigants against the College. “Sixty thousand plus alumni by virtue of their financial and moral support do have the right to question how things are done and have an equal say on the Board of Trustees,” he says, “about why the curriculum has gone light on Western classics, how administrative bloat harms the College and how the real estate office changed the character of the Upper Valley.” Stu, a 40-year Vermont resident and New York transplant, lives a mile from campus in Norwich. He was attracted to the area by its charm and ski slopes, but today the suburban feel reminds him of Boston, which, he says, is the result of College and hospital expansion. “Dartmouth should be a small teaching college, not a large research university,” he says. A retired developer, Stu is vice president of Global Rescue, a crisis response company founded by his son Daniel, a Tuck grad.
Don Wertz, retired after 20 years as auditor with Saudi Aramco in Dhahran, lives in Bloomington, Indiana, with English-born wife Wendy, who is writing a book on Lynton Keith Caldwell, the environmentalist. A Tuck M.B.A., Don has three children and six grandchildren from a previous marriage. You can reach him at donald.wertz@att.net.
