Malcolm Jones writes: “This year’s West Coast mini-reunion was held in Carmel, California, and was another great get-together. Participating were Peter Pratt, Willis and Peggy Newton, Dick and Ruth Wenzel, Bruce and Belinda Tepper, Greg and Gail Fell, Dave and Stephanie Paradise, Roger and Noelle Prince, Malcolm Jones and Sandi Blodgett, Linda and Dan Cooperman ’72 and Charlie Shockey ’72. Book-ended by golf outings, our Carmel mini-reunion featured a docent-led back-stage tour of the Monterey Aquarium, kayaking on Monterey Bay and a docent-led hike of Point Lobos State Reserve along with lunches and dinners featuring Monterey’s fabulous local cuisine and wines. Another highlight was the cocktail party at Dan and Linda’s fabulous Carmel home. Planning is already starting for next year’s mini-reunion at Lake Tahoe, California.” Many thanks to Jim Rager, our class vice president, for his stellar service as our class representative on the Alumni Council. Ted Eismeier is Jim’s successor on the Alumni Council and will represent our class for the next three years. The 1971 endowed scholarship in honor of John Rassias and John Sloan Dickey has now reached $100,000, which enables our class to endow two student scholars. More contributions are welcomed, as this scholarship fund is a major class project in conjunction with our 50th reunion. Contributions can be sent to Dave Brooks, our class treasurer, at P.O. Box 1831, Grantham, NH 03753, or Dartmouth College. Checks should be made out to “Class of 1971 Endowed Scholarship.” Our classmate Luke O’Reilly died of cancer after a brave fight. Luke was born in Liverpool, England. Before matriculating at Dartmouth he was picked to be a member of the British Olympic ski team in the Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France. He competed as one of the youngest alpine skiers. Luke was recently honored by Dartmouth with a Wearers of the Green award given to her exceptional athletes. Luke’s full obituary can be viewed in legacy.com and DAM online.
