Class Note 1967
Issue
May - Jun 2017
This is the last note before our 50th reunion from June 8–13 for “The Road Turns Home” (Moosilauke Thursday, core reunion Friday to Sunday, extended reunion Sunday to Tuesday). Check the class webpage for more details and for a link to our online registration page. Registration will run until June 1.
Congratulations to Ed Kern and the Class of 1967 Bunkhouse at Mount Moosilauke advisory committee and David Lowenstein and Hugh Freund for leading our class of 1967 A Space for Dialogue gallery at the Hood Museum major gift projects for the 50th reunion. Both projects exceeded their goals of $50,000 for the bunkhouse and $1,000,000 for the gallery. We still have a way to go to reach our $1,500,000 and 67-percent participation goals for the Dartmouth College Fund, so head agent John Kornet urges everyone to help us prove, “We are ’67 and there is nothing we can’t do.”
Speaking of…two really magnificent reunion books have been completed in celebration of our 50th. Living Through Momentous Change: How a Dartmouth Class Met the Challenges of Vietnam, the Human Rights Movements and So Much Else, edited and producedby John Isaacs, has more than 30 essays on the milestones of our era as experienced by our classmates and how we responded to and shaped them. The 50th reunion yearbook has more than 400 “autobiographies” as well as obituaries of and memorials to our deceased. The plan is to distribute the yearbook free to all ’67s before the reunion and to provide Living Through Momentous Change free to all who attend the two-part symposium at the 50th.
Another reunion highlight is Bob Roberts (Robert Piampiano) reprising Music ’Til Midnight live from our class dinner on Saturday night, to be broadcast nationally on WDCR Internet radio and likely on WFRD locally. “Bob” will be selecting his music playlist from ’67 “Top 20” lists that were sent to him by classmates in February.
Too late for the details to be in this issue of the DAM, but the “last ever” Boston ’67 dinner was on target for being the biggest ’67 regional mini-reunion ever. Two weeks ahead of the dinner more than 60 reservations had been made. The event’s 34-year run was led in the past decade by John Manaras and Steve Cheheyl. They graciously paid for this year’s dinner at the Longwood Cricket Club, but said that in recent years declining attendance and the number of Northeastern ’67s spending winters elsewhere led to the decision to bring the run to an end.
Another death to note. Robert Adam Weinberg died on October 14, 2014, in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. Bob came to the College from Wheaton, Maryland, but he left early. He was a news director at Capital Cities/ABC Inc. in Washington, D.C. Bob is survived by his ex-wife, Mary, and their three children.
I scanned and posted some photos from our past reunions on the superlinks connection (look at “Dartmouth Reflections”). Check out those who attended at users.idworld.net/dmangels/dart67.htm.
See you at reunion. Keep me posted.
