Class Note 1964

Issue

Sept - Oct 2019

This will be my last Class Notes article. I have appreciated the opportunity to be class secretary the past five years. Jay Evans will be taking over effective July 1. His first Class Notes column will appear in the November issue. Jay is a Navy veteran. After graduate school he managed money in Boston and developed a quantitative equity product called Valuepath. Jay retired in 2003. When he is not in his home outside of Hanover, he spends his time sailing and painting on Man-O-War Cay in the Bahamas. He and his wife, Hasty, have three daughters. Posy Evans ’99 is married to the son of Jay Parsons ’62 of WDCR fame and operates a home-brew beer business outside of London. Tay is a marine scientist working for the state of Massachusetts. Tamsen is a chartered financial analyst and works in the investment business for Acadian Investment Management of Boston. Jay and Hasty have three young grandchildren. His kids and grandkids all made it up Mount Washington by the age of 6. Jay will do a great job as secretary. Send him your news at gjevans222@gmail.com.

We celebrated our 55th reunion June 10-13. The weather was glorious, the campus sparkled, and the programs were stimulating. Dave Hewitt did a fabulous job as chair of the event. One hundred twelve members of our class attended. In addition to Dave, the reunion committee included Bill Lewis, Hunt Whitacre, Steve Ward, and Angela Stafford of alumni relations.

There is not space enough to review all the wonderful events at the reunion, but three are worth noting. On Tuesday morning, June 11, classmates Bob MacArthur and Roger Klein conducted a very moving memorial service. So far, we have lost 147 classmates from our original class of 803. Another event was a dinner at which the class presented Dartmouth President Philip Hanlon a “check” for $3,888,740, which represents the proceeds from this year’s Alumni Fund effort. We also presented President Hanlon another “check” for $40,000,000, representing the total amount our class members have contributed to the College since 2014. Both are records. In fact, our class holds nine fundraising records. Class of 1964 is indeed “in a class by itself.” Thanks to all of you who have contributed. Finally, our classmate William Fitzhugh IV presented a lecture on “Dartmouth and the Artic: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.” It was well-attended and the first lecture to take place in the new Hood Museum lecture hall.

We held our class meeting on June 12 and elected the following: co-presidents, Roy Lewicki and Hunt Whitacre; secretary, Jay Evans; treasurer, Steve Ward; memorialist, Mike Parker; head class agent, Alan Woodberry; newsletter editor, Tom Seymour; webmaster, Harry “Gus” Buchtel; alumni council representative, James H. Harris III; leadership giving, Fredric “Fritz” Corrigan; Bartlett Tower Society, Chris Palmer; reunion chair, Dave Hewitt; members-at-large, Bob Bartles, Bill Lewis, Bob Engelman, and Harvey Tettlebaum. These officers will serve until our next class meeting at our 60th reunion. More reunion information will follow in our class newsletter.
