Class Note 1967

Issue

Sept - Oct 2015

Mark your calendar to participate in the Richard Paolino Dartmouth ’67 Open on September 26 in Barrington, Rhode Island. Contact Larry Bowen to let him know if you will be playing golf and attending the social events (sbowen172@verizon.net). Cheer on the competitors (and the duffers). Class Officers Weekend is September 18-19 in Hanover. All classmates in the Hanover area are invited to attend a ’67 officers meeting at noon on the 19th and to participate in a wide-ranging discussion of class activities leading up to the 50th. Let Sam Ostrow (ceo@ostrow-partners.com) know if you are planning to attend. The annual D.C. mini dinner is October 24; details to follow.

Fundraising for the major gift projects for our 50th reunion has begun. The project managers are Ed Kern for the class of 1967-class of 2017 cabin at Mount Moosilauke and David Lowenstein and Hugh Freund for the A Space for Dialogue Gallery. Check the recent class newsletter to support the projects by filling out and returning the appropriate pledge or payment card—or both. If you would like to join in the program to contact all ’67s to encourage their support, please contact either Rick Geissinger (r45geissin@gmail.com) or Sam Ostrow (ceo@ostrow-partners.com).

Assemble and send your input for the 50th reunion yearbook—a first-person biography (or whatever you may want to write or say about your life and our world after our years at Dartmouth)—as soon as possible to Thuy Le ’17, who will receive your submissions either via email at thuy.yearbook.67@gmail.com or snail mail. Look on the class page for more details about the 50th reunion and to review last year’s class activity report.

As the class necrologist, I have another death to report: Donald Mark Klein of New Milford, Connecticut, who died on May 11. Don came to the College from West Caldwell, New Jersey. At College he majored in sociology, was a brother of Alpha Delta Phi and Dragon and a class officer, newsletter editor, class agent, alumni fund volunteer. He received an M.B.A. from Columbia University. He was senior vice president and creative director at Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising from 1969 to 1980 (winning multiple Clios, Effies and other advertising awards). He was president and creative director of his own agency, McNamara, Clapp, and Klein in the 1980s and 1990s. Don was an accomplished advertising executive, writer, automotive enthusiast and collector, global traveler, connoisseur, blogger and commentator. He is survived by wife Michaela and daughters Jennifer and Stephanie.

Stay well! Keep me posted.
