Class Note 1963
Issue
March-April 2023
It was great to be back. Some 35 classmates and spouses celebrated Homecoming and, if the fun and good fellowship were any indication, our 60th reunion, June 12-15, promises to be a “can’t miss event,” an opportunity to reunite with old friends, enjoy special entertainment, engage in sports, attend talks, catch up on Dartmouth, and party, party, and party.
Homecoming began Friday night when Dan Muchinsky, Bill Wellstead, Chuck Wessendorf, Steve Lewsinstein,and others gathered at Dunks in Hanover; Mike Emerson carried the class banner in the parade to the Green.
Led by president Sam Cabot, our class executive committee (EC)—including Bruce Baggaley, Larry Bailey, Bill Russell, Scott Babcock, Tom Jester, and Gordon Weir—met live and via Zoom Saturday plus classmates Gil Knight, Bob Silverman,and Art Williams. EC member Bob Chavey expressed a major theme best: “I liked hearing those kids talk.” Bob was referring to presentations from two student-athletes, a class scholar, and recent Dartmouth Partners in Community Service intern, latest participants in class-funded and -sponsored programs for Dartmouth undergraduates. The agenda included a Ken Kvistad-led tribute to deceased classmates, new exciting Zoom programs announced by Jeff Nothnagle and Ed Mazer, ambitious 2023 gift-giving goals from Bob Bysshe and Tom Kraig, and chair Bill Subin’s much-anticipated report and discussion of our June 12-15 60th, which will focus on socializing and live music and feature speakers and panels plus cabaret produced by Paul Binder.
Seasonable weather made for fun Harvard football viewing in the class section with Dave Goodwillie and Judith List, Tom and Betsey Coghlin, Bill and Carol Hindle, and John and Melissa Lehigh. I caught a ride in Dick Swett’s new electric car to Ariana’s Restaurant within the historic Lyme (New Hampshire) Inn, where classmates and spouses, including Dick and Pam Booma, enjoyed fellowship over choices of braised beef, herb-crusted cod, or penne Bolognese accompanied by fine wines, beer, and soft drinks.
I regret to report the passing of Bruce Coffey and Hank Smith. Obituaries by Tige Harris can be found in the “Obits” section of the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine website.
