The summer has been unusually wet and humid in Connecticut. I look forward to the cooler fall weather that will accompany the arrival of these Class Notes. The 50th reunion committees led by Hicks “Tex” Morgan have been working hard to make this reunion our best. We need your participation to ensure that we meet your expectations and cover topics in the seminars that will evoke a strong connection with our class and the College. The panel discussions at past reunions have been thought-provoking.

In response to the August e-newsletter, Duncan Wood stated that several reunions have focused on the May 1970 strike and the Vietnam conflict from the anti-war perspective. He suggests two possible topics. The first is “April 22, 1970: The First Earth Day.” What do you remember? Did it make a difference in your life? The second is “Drafted, ROTC, or Volunteer,” with thoughts on military service from those who served after four years of anti-war rhetoric in Hanover.

Additional or alternative topics should be directed to our president, Jeff Demerath, who is charged with organizing the seminars.

Sadly, our classmate, Bill Holcomb, passed away on April 17 in Los Angeles. After Dartmouth Bill studied at Julliard in New York City. He was a professional performing artist with various dance and theater companies, most notably the Acme Dancing Company. Bill later decided he could provide greater service as a lawyer practicing business and tax law. Bill is survived by his wife, Deborah, two daughters, and his brother and sister.

Save the dates for our 50th reunion—June 11-16, 2020.
