Class Note 1963
Issue
November-December 2023
I share more memories from 60th.
Norman Buchsbaum, John Currier, David Halsted, Bill Hindle, and Mel Meyers were approved for the executive committee.
“Success” panelist hotelier and brewer Johannes von Trapp recalled his mom wanted him to be a priest; film director Peter Israelson had coffee at Lou’s with Robert Frost; Al Palmer chose law after finding philosophy “unreal”; federal judge Ernie Torres began as teacher and coach at boarding school; publisher Roger Parkinson learned in ranger school “you can’t relax”; Steve Lewsinstein’s first real estate deal was with Johnny Unitas; physician Dick Swett encountered voodoo during Ivory Coast stint; and former Cabot Stains head Sam Cabot worked in Chile during the 1973 coup.
“Mock Radio Show” featured John Chamberlain singing Tom Lehrer’s “Oedipus Rex,” Alan March reciting “Birches,” comic duo Bill Wellstead and Judy Derasse, Steve Kurland on piano, Ed Mazer discussing “intellectual curiosity,” a video tribute to Petie Subin, and a comic recitation by Celia Strickler, partner of show director Paul Binder.
We enjoyed meals and conversation with Reg Jones, Joel and Barbara Werbel, Rick Kramer, Tom Beradino, John and Tatiana Kubacki, George and Olga Badenoch, Mike and Carol Larson, Mike Bartels, Skip Mattoon, Gil Knight,and Tom and Connie Clephane.
Ted Morehouse lives in Marina Del Rey, California, not Meriden, New Jersey, as previously reported.
Bill Purcell, Chuck Pfeifer, and Jim Dial could not make the 60th and sent regards.
Days later, a young lady in Brooklyn spotted my reunion cap. “I’m class of ’19,” she exclaimed. “Amazing!”
In May Sam and Deamie Cabot sailed a Dartmouth cruise from Portugal to Normandy with Chris and Anne Wiedenmayer,David and Michele Halstead, George and Mary Sullivan, Charlie and Claire Logan, and Julie Nixon and David Eisenhower, who lectured on D-Day and Normandy. The Louis V. Gerstner Jr. Collections Core opened at New York’s American Museum of Natural History. In June John and Joan Merrow rode bikes for World Central Kitchen and in July Mike and Jeanne Prince biked for Dartmouth Cancer Center.
I regret to report recent passing of John S. Bell, John Hicks, Dan Matyola, and Steve Swirsky and, previously unreported in 2017, Reed Wasson.Read obituaries of recently deceased by Tige Harris in the ’63 obits section on the DAM website.
