Greetings, fellow ’70s. By the time you read this column our reunion in Hanover together with 1971 and 1972 will be in the books. That’s a good thing, since the class news cupboard is currently bare and there is probably no better time for sourcing stories firsthand than a reunion.

On a more somber note, we have received word from the College of the deaths of three classmates. Steven J. Brown passed away in March 2009, David Estey in August 2012 and Alan Reese in November 2015. The class extends its sympathies to the families.

That’s it for this abbreviated column. If you didn’t make it to reunion and have something you’d like to share, please send me an email. Also, it’s never too early to start planning for our 50th (yup, the big 5-0h) reunion. It will be held over graduation weekend in 2020. That graduation will be Dartmouth’s 250th!
