Class Note 1967

Issue

May-June 2020

We are celebrating our collective 75th birthday in 2020 by getting together in groups small and large, raising a glass, and taking photos to share on 1967.dartmouth.org. Kicking it off in New York City in January were Dave Sicher, Jack Harris, Sam Ostrow, Jim Peck, Howard Sharfstein, and Hugh Freund. Bill Bogardus and Ted Neill raised a glass in Naples, Florida, while Paul Killebrew posed with Tom Rath at his political panel discussion in Hanover. A few weeks later a huge turnout at the 37th annual Boston dinner included Susanne and Curt Anderson, Betty and Steve Ayres, Wayne Beyer, Sharleen and Larry Bowen, Dick Clapp, Maureen and Steve Cheheyl, Tina and Richard Chu, John Feltner, Becky and Ed Gray, Chuck Hobbie, Bill Judd, Pris and Ed Kern, Joyce and Paul Killebrew, Eric Kinter, Pokey and John Kornet, Candy and Larry Langford, Dave Larson, Drew Ley and Carol Searle, Dwight MacKerron and Joan Bryant, Susan and John Manaras, Nick Mason and Karen Mathies, Judy and Sam Ostrow, Beth Paolino, Ann and Jim Paull, Carol and Tom Pyles, Jim Rooks, Sandy von Unwerth and Bill Sjogren, Shari and Bob Thurer, Susan and Mike Tucker, Susie and Bill White. Later at CarniVail, celebrants included Rosanne and John Lobitz, Jan and John Meck, Jacquie and Ed Arnold, Susan and Jack Brock, Judy and Dean Ericson, Larry Langford, George Wood, Maureen and Steve Cheheyl and their daughter, Juliette. Meanwhile, Rob Kugler and Mike Pryor were raising a glass aboard ship departing Dunedin, New Zealand!

We asked who you would like to have dinner with, and Ben Mixter said he would like to have dinner with his maternal grandmother, “without whom my growing up would not have been as fun, instructive, and loving.” Peter Golenbock would “invite Branch Rickey, who signed Jackie Robinson to play for the Dodgers in an America not ready for integration in sports or any place else.” For John Kornet it’s “Jim Henson and Steve Jobs,” while Bill White says, “That’s easy—Marilyn Monroe. Need I explain why?” Ted Haynes would like dinner with Ken Oshman, president of ROLM Corp., with whom a dinner conversation would be brilliant (at least on his part), inspiring, and thoroughly enjoyable.” Bruce Pacht would “invite the late Dan Gould, the strangest and most original guy I’ve ever met in my life.” John Lobitz would dine with “Dr. John Benson, who is the reason that I went into gastroenterology and internal medicine. He is now 98 years old and still vibrant, active, and mentally intact.” Dick Clapp says he would “like to have dinner with Nelson Mandela, one of the most inspirational leaders of our lifetime,” while Tom Brudenell “would invite Gandhi to learn how he maintained such steadfastness to non-violence when faced with violence against him.” More responses are on 1967.dartmouth.org.

Finally, we are saddened to learn of the passing of Peter Muilenberg on August 25, 2019. His obituary will appear on the DAM website and a longer one will be found on 1967.dartmouth.org.
