Class Note 1967

Issue

Jul - Aug 2017

The “34th last ever” Boston ’67 dinner led by John Manaras and Steve Cheheyl was very successful, with 67 attending. The event will continue with Curt Anderson and Bill White (and wife Susan) promising to host it in 2018.

The CarniVail annual multi-class ski weekend had 26 ’67s participating, with John Lobitz, Steve Cheheyland Dean Ericson coordinating the gathering. The class had the largest turnout of the classes attending.

A few more deaths to report. David Burr Wrisley Jr. of Sarasota, Florida, died in November 2016. David came from Hinsdale, Illinois, had an Army ROTC scholarship, was a brother of Sigma Phi Epsilon, married Lee Ann in 1967 and graduated with an M.S. in engineering from Thayer School in 1970. He spent 12 years in product development with Corning. From 1985 he was with AMP Inc., conducting research and developing electrical interconnection devices. Dave is survived by Lee Ann (his wife of 49 years), son David and daughter Kate ’95, Th’96. His father, David B. Wrisley Sr., is a member of the class of ’44, and his grandson is a ’29 hopeful.

William Charles Doran of West Hartford, Connecticut, died in December 2016. Bill came to the College from Greenfield, Massachusetts. He majored in government, played football, was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa, married Susan Cohn in 1967 and went to Yale University Law School, where his academic studies were interrupted by the draft. Upon completing his military service in South Korea, Bill returned to Yale to finish his last two years of law school. After completing his studies Bill moved to the Hartford area with Susan to begin a family and his law career. In 1982 he joined Atlas and Hudon in West Hartford. Despite being a man of few words, Bill was a logophile: He loved creating puns, completing New York Times crossword puzzles and cryptograms. Bill also loved taking frequent trips to the Garlic Farm and Cold Spring Brook Farm, going on long walks in the West Hartford Reservoir and Elizabeth Park, taking drives in the countryside and watching UConn Huskies basketball. He is survived by Susan (his wife of 49 years) and children Amanda, Abigail, Jonathan and Hannah.
