Jul - Aug 2018

Tom and Lola Hancock hosted a well-attended Denver mini-reunion at the Denver Athletic Club. More than two dozen classmates and significant others enjoyed the evening festivities, including Don O’Neil, Bob Lamarre, Dolly Fleet Corlin, and Lon Gregg. Flying in to join the group were Malcolm Jones, Michael Maynard, Peter Pratt and his son, Justin ’06, and Justin’s wife, Kathleen ’10. Steve and Sara Zrike deeply appreciate the class of 71’s generous support of the MS walk in Boston. More than 50 percent of the $24,000 collected came from our classmates. Steve and Sara were joined in the MS walk with Michael Maynard and Ilene Greenberg, Bob and Lisa Lider, Dave and Pat Brooks, Pete Webster,and Bob and Kate Mustard. Also joining were Stu Zuckerman ’70 and his wife, Carol. Many thanks to Michael Maynard for arranging a brunch at Eastern Standard after the MS walk for the aforementioned participants. Steve updated me on a class coincidence. His son, Steve Jr. ’98, was appointed receiver for the Holyoke, Massachusetts, public schools two years ago. (Note: A receiver is an “uber” superintendent tasked by the state with turning around schools in a failing school district.) Steve was appointed by the state commissioner of elementary and secondary education. After the commissioner’s untimely death in June 2017, Steve Jr. now reports to the acting commissioner, Jeff Wulfson. D.C. had two mini-reunions, one on March 9 at the African American Museum with 12 class attendees, and another on March 14 at the U.S. Congress hosted by Mike Capuano ’73 (D-Mass.) and other Dartmouth member of Congress and attended by six ’71s along with more than 20 ’70s. Dinner followed at a favorite Capitol Hill saloon. This year’s New York City mini-reunion dinner will be held at the Yale Club on June 12, beginning at 6 p.m. Richard Wooster is hosting this event. A special guest, coach Buddy Teevens ’79, will be attending. Contact Richard at rwooster71@gmail.com for further information. A spectacular Nantucket, Massachusetts, mini-reunion August 24-26 is now in the final planning stage. It will be hosted by Michael Maynard and Ilene Greenberg, Frank and Georgine Anton,and Alice Reno Malone and Jim Malone. A multitude of activities will be offered, including golf, tennis, boating, hiking, and fishing. Plan ahead for this mini-reunion, as island hotel accommodations will be limited as will flights to Nantucket from N.Y.C. and Boston.

Early arrivals on Thursday, October 25, will enjoy a stay at the Ravine Lodge, which accommodates up to 30 guests. A Friday night buffet will be held in Zimmerman Lounge prior to the Homecoming parade and lighting of the bonfire. Harvard is the football opponent on Saturday. Tom and Judy Oxman will be hosting dinner at their home on Saturday evening. As a special new treat, Sunday brunch will be at the home of Darrell Hotchkiss and Jon Fox.
