Phil Schaefer has retired as class secretary after five stunning years of excellent service and wonderful articles. His shoes are impossible to fill. My thanks for patiently helping me transition as your new class secretary. You elected new officers at our 50th reunion. Here are their names and a bit of information about them. 


Our 11th class president is Ray Peters, emeritus professor of psychology at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, where he lives with Ellen, his wife of 40 years, and enjoys their four children and nine grandchildren. Vice president is Hunt Whitacre, retired in Hanover with his wife, Lynne. They have two daughters (one a ’94) living in Arizona, plus four grandchildren. Chip Noecker is the new treasurer. A retired president and CEO of a telecommunications company, he and his wife, Carlee, spend summer and fall in Massachusetts, winter and spring in Florida. They have two daughters, one of whom is class of 1997 co-president. 


We created a new class officer position of memorialist to handle the sensitive and important task of communicating information about members of our class who are no longer with us. Mike Parker fills that position. When you learn of the passing of a classmate, please share that information and any memories of the classmate with Mike (mikarolyn@gmail.com). Mike is married to Carolyn, who was a student nurse at Mary Hitchcock during our undergraduate years.

Our class webmaster, Gus Buchtel, is a neuropsychologist at the VA hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Pete Luitwieler continues as gift planning chair. He encourages you to provide a gift to Dartmouth in your estate plan. His goal is 50 Bartlett Tower Society members by year-end. 


Karl Winkler continues as Alumni Council member. He and his wife of 48 years live in Rockford, Illinois, where he practices law. Their twin boys live in Texas and California. Leadership giving chair is Fritz Corrigan. He has been married to Glenda for 45 years. They have a total of 15 children and grandchildren. Participation chair is Lynn Bates, a retired CPA.
