Class Note 1967
Issue
Nov - Dec 2017
In addition to noting that we still know how to party, one thing I learned from our 50th reunion experience is that we are a generous class. We created two enduring spaces: a magnificent post-and-beam cabin near the new Ravine Lodge and a space in the Hood Museum that will create art museum curators for the 21st century. Each will provide invaluable experiences for generations of students to come. On top of that, more than half of the class participated in raising $771,811 for the Dartmouth College Fund. Our total giving to the College in celebration of our 50th was more than $9,900,000! By the way, Len “Last Minute” Mazor (he made his gift just under the wire on June 28) won the raffle and will receive John Kornet’s beautiful handcrafted table.
In the coming months there are four more significant opportunities to renew and maintain connections with one another.
On Friday, November 10, in a nationally televised game, Dartmouth plays Brown at Fenway Park at 8 p.m. As you read this there may still be time to get tickets at redsox.com/gridiron.
Steve Cheheyl and John Manaras hosted the Boston ’67 dinner for 34 years, and last January’s, the largest mini-reunion ever, was thought to be the last one. But lest old traditions fail, Bill White, Curt Anderson, Larry Bowen and Larry Langford have volunteered to keep the dinner going on into the future. Hence the 35th Boston ’67 dinner will be held on February 3, 2018, at the Longwood Cricket Club.
On the tails of the Boston dinner comes CarniVail, March 1-4, 2018, in Vail, Colorado, organized again by John Lobitz. A multi-class ski weekend, the largest regular gathering of Dartmouth alums outside of the Upper Valley, this is becoming a signature class of ’67 event. There is a rough-and-tumble dinner at the Minturn Saloon on Thursday organized by Steve Cheheyl; an elegant dinner Friday evening at the Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum hosted by Dean Ericson; a multi-class cocktail party and dinner Saturday night; and best of all some of the finest skiing in the world all four days (including first tracks early Sunday morning). Last year more than a dozen ’67s participated, and organizers hope even more will come for the 2018 edition. For more details, contact John (johnlobitz@gmail.com).
To top that off, a few weeks after CarniVail Bob Burka and John Isaacs will host the annual Washington, D.C., dinner on March 24 (venue to be announced). This has traditionally been a wonderful, well-attended event through the years, and all ’67s in the mid-Atlantic area (and elsewhere) are encouraged to come and welcome the arrival of cherry blossoms and springtime.
In future issues you will find news of your classmates in this column, but of course only if you let me know what you’re up to. Drop me a line and, if you like, add your voice to our new Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/Dartmouth1967.
