Everything folks need to know about the six days of the 50th reunion (Moosilauke Thursday, core reunion Friday to Sunday, Extended Sunday-Tuesday) is in the fall newsletter and on the class webpage. Pass the word to come join us; we want to ensure maximum turnout to celebrate our 50th reunion from June 8–13.

The 34th—and longest running—annual ’67 class gathering will be held on January 28. Principal organizers John Manaras and Steve Cheheyl are planning something bigger for the lead-in to the 50th next year, still a secret, but stay tuned.

CarniVail annual multi-class ski weekend is planned for March 3-5. This, the largest periodic gathering of Dartmouth alumni outside the Upper Valley, will be held, once again, in Vail, Colorado. As in the past there will be a three-day weekend of terrific skiing, the traditional ’67 dinner for class members and guests and socializing with other classes. Please be in touch with John Lobitz about details at johnlobitz@gmail.com.

Another deceased classmate to report. Wayne Ellett Johnson came to college from McLean, Virginia. He majored in mathematics. He received his master’s in mathematics from Indiana University in 1972 and his Ph.D. in mathematical statistics from George Washington University in 1985. Wayne worked as an analyst and statistician for several government agencies, including the Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration, the Veterans Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2006 he retired to Rockville, Maryland. In retirement, Wayne bicycled, walked and photographed regularly along the towpath of the C&O Canal, which abuts the Potomac River. Every election year he worked as an election judge. Wayne and his wife, Beverly, were dedicated members and supports of the Friends of the Historic Great Falls Tavern, spending a good deal of their time biking and hiking the towpath along the canal. Wayne died April 10, 2016. He is survived by children Alexander and Valerie and Beverly.
