Class Note 1966
Issue
July-August 2023
Classmates traveled to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in early April to participate in a celebration of the life of our courageous friend, Pete Barber, who spent 54 years in a wheelchair after being severely wounded in Vietnam. Ted Amaral, Bill Duval, Albie MacDonald, and Barry Machado joined family and friends in recounting, with warmth and humor, Pete’s humility, tenacity, and enduring spirit. Neil Castaldo, Charlie Stuart, Gene Whitehorn, and your scribe also attended, along with Nan and John Carpenter ’64, Warren Cook ’67, and Bill Dix ’67.
Continuing an annual tradition, from Maine (Jan and Bob Baldwin, Cindy and Wally Buschmann, Angus King, Peter Titcomb, Marilyn and Will Wilkoff, Bill Williamson) to Florida (Anne and John Rollins, Mary and Brad Stein) nearly 100 classmates and their “Dartmates” got together at mini-reunions across the United States and beyond on or about March 7—the 66th night of the year.
The largest crowd assembled in retirement-friendly Hanover (Teresa and Robin Carpenter, Judy and Stan Colla, Margo and Paul Doscher, Jeff Gilbert, Heather and David Hightower, Jo and Al Keiller, Kathy and Wayne LoCurto, Margie and Chuck Sherman, Gus Southworth), with the Dominican Republic, where Rich Abraham, Dick Blacklow, Betsy and Tom Brady (the hardworking 66th night coordinator), Noel Fidel, Dick Friedman, and Rick Reiss gathered at Don Glazer’s house in Punta Cana, a close second.
News follows from three Bills. Bill Gibson met his wife, Becky, in the 1970s at the University of North Carolina (law degree for him, Ph.D. in English for her). Now they moved into “an old folks’ home” back in Chapel Hill for what Bill terms a “second prolonged adolescence.” Bill Rose earned his Ph.D. in ecology/earth science from Dartmouth in 1970 and has been researching and teaching about volcanoes at Michigan Tech University in Houghton ever since—53 years! Japanese translator and prolific author Bill Wilson just published his 26th and 27th books: The Beginner’s Guide to Haiku and The Bushido Code, the way of the Samurai warrior.
Sympathies to the family and friends of Arnold Lundwall and Chris Sanger, who passed away earlier this year. Happy and safe summer to all!
