Sale of Dartmouth’s commercial radio license in 2021 prompted recollections from ex-DCR staffers Sturgess Dorrance, Bill Subin, and Dan Matyola and a take by Stu Mahlin on a Johnny Mercer-Harold Arlen Sinatra classic, this titled “One for Old Dartmouth.” Here are excerpts: “Thirteen-forty on the dial the voice of Bill Wooley can still make me smile”; “Septem’ ’62 and Sturge”; “Recall the ad deals in just days we closed”; “Signed enough in a week to keep DCR goin’ the whole broadcast year”; “But the station’s gone ’way, only tapes Bob Gitt made can take us away”; “To the ‘Voice of the Upper Valley’ ”; “And one more for the road.” For entire lyrics, email Stu at stumahlin@yahoo.com. Dartmouth radio still operates online.
Hats off to Joe Heffernan, selected to the 2022 Division I All-New England football team and to the second team All-Ivy, reported by former class sponsored-athletes chair Bill Wellstead. Heffernan led the Ivy League with 98 tackles. Prolific ophthalmologist Bill Hancock (9,000 cataract and 7,000 Lasik surgeries) retired to San Juan Islands in Washington State, where he sails, attends church, and helps Chen, wife of 55 years, serve island youth, according to brother Tom ’71. Bill studied medicine at University of Washington, served as Navy flight surgeon, and founded Northwest Eye Surgeons, now 34 doctors. Bill and Chen have two children and 15 grandchildren.
Sam Cabot was re-elected president through 2028 with vice presidents Ed Mazer and Dan Muchinsky, treasurer Bill Russell, and secretary Harry Zlokower.
I regret to report the passing of Donald Shulkin. See obituary articles by Tige Harris in the ’63 Class Notes section on Dartmouth Alumni Magazine website.
