Class Note 1966
Issue
January-February 2025
The beat continues with more 50-plus-year marriages and other updates.
Bill Duval met Barb before sophomore year. They married in 1968 and have five children and eight grandkids. In October they caught up with South Fayerweather dorm friends in person after a few years of Zooming. Jim Everett, Larry Forcier, Gary Jefferson, and Bill Todd and wives enjoyed the weekend at Tim Barnard’s place in the Poconos.
I can’t wait to see this movie. Open on handsome Air Force ROTC cadet Don Ries meeting Linda Bent from Etna, New Hampshire, at the 1965 military ball in Hanover. Two years later they elope and marry at Denver’s Lowery Air Force Base. Then there’s grad school, teaching in New England, and 35 years of teaching together from Africa to Japan and Abu Dhabi to Sweden. Along the way come three children and four grands. Fade to the healthy and happy couple in Tucson, Arizona.
Ed Dailey and Mary Supple married in 1968. Ed’s a Navy veteran and lawyer who still teaches religion at the Nativity Preparatory School for middle school boys in inner-city Boston.
George Emlen, conductor, composer, and music educator, met spouse Jan at a Dartmouth hockey game in 1965. Both children and all three grandchildren live within a stone’s throw of their home in Blue Hill, Maine. George is still at it, conducting Handel’s Messiah again in December. “I am grateful,” he says, “that I can continue doing what I love and what I’m good at.”
Priscilla and Ed Grew will celebrate their 50th this June. Last August they celebrated when Ed, a University of Maine research professor, was named an honorary fellow of the Mineralogical Society of the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Semiretired Howard Dobbs lives in Reading, England, and still lectures on his area of expertise—shoulder replacements, orthopedic implants, and EU medical regulations. He and partner Annwyl enjoy time with granddaughter Cora.
Our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of esteemed classmates who passed away recently: Don Glazer, Corky Spehrley, Paul Stokstad, and Chuck Vernon. Obits are on the class website and the online Dartmouth Alumni Magazine.
Very best wishes to all for a healthy, happy, and fulfilling 2025.
