Class Note 1963

Issue

Sept - Oct 2016

Football may be the sport du jour in October, but for ’63s baseball in September is providing venues, starting Monday night, September 12, when Chip Bohlinger, Al Palmer and classmates see the Mets and Nationals at Nationals Park, Washington, D.C.

In New York Tuesday night, September 27, Adam Heyman (with son Douglas ’98 and grandchildren George and Sandy), Art and Sandra Williams, Arnie and Hermine Katz, Barry and Jane Linsky, Bill and Petie Subin, Armand Villager, Dan and Leonora Matyola (with son Gregory), Paul Binder and Shelly Docters, and Harry and Nicole Zlokower witness the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium.

The Red Sox face the Blue Jays Friday night, September 30, at Fenway with Dave Goodwillie and Judith List, David and Michele Halsted, Sam and Deamie Cabot, Ed and Charlene Mazer, Gordon and Susan Weir, Gil and Deborah Knight, Paul Kappel and Mary Reinman, Bill and Roberta Whiting, Ash Hartwell and Scott Babcock on hand. A few hours later Pacific Time, at AT&T Park in San Francisco, Randy and Lin Reetz, Don and Constance Apostle (with son Greg and granddaughter Avery), Hoppy and Cheryl Neff, Jim Dial, John Farnsworth, John and JoAnne Richards, Bob and Susan Dresser, Arnold and Junko Low, Jim Bell and brother Dexter, and Bill Price and Joan Frost take in the Giants and Dodgers. Class mini-reunion chair Tom Perry put it all together.

Minis go through October with more than 100 classmates, spouses and partners at the 75th birthday bash in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Friday, October 14, through Tuesday, October 18, followed a few weeks later by our ’63 Homecoming reunion in Hanover, October 28-30. The event will include our annual dinner at the Canoe Club on Main Street and the parade Friday; class meeting, Harvard football, party at the home of Dan Muchinsky and Mary Barnes on Saturday; and possibly breakfast at the Hanover Inn Sunday. Rooms for ’63s are set aside at the Fairfield Inn in White River Junction, Vermont. Don’t forget to buy football tickets in advance in the class section where the viewing and camaraderie are perfect.

John Dickey, who lives far from the Hanover scene today, expressed vivid memories in Quebradillas, his 2011 collection of poems of life and nature near his home in northeastern Puerto Rico with interludes of autobiographical verses of his earlier life in Hanover and Dartmouth. Now John is presenting the third edition of Quebradillas as an ebook that includes photographs and audio readings of the poems. The book can be experienced on an Apple iPad, iPhone or iPod for $4.99 by going to the Apple App Store and searching for Quebradillas. For a very brief preview go to YouTube and search for “Quebradillas John Dickey Poetry.”

I caught up with Daryl and Gina Erickson amidst a serious gardening project at home in Amherst, New Hampshire. Daryl retired in 2010 after 10 years as a medical missionary surgeon in the United Arab Emirates, nearly 20 years at Dartmouth-Hitchcock and three as president of MedSend, serving “spiritually and physically needy people around the world.”
