Classmates, we’re going to have a 50th reunion. Actually, we’ll have two 50th reunions: one virtual to be held June 11-13 this year, and the other on the College’s campus in June 2022 during a mid-week period to be set by the College. Stay tuned. The following events will take place during our virtual 50th reunion in June. A memorial service for our fallen classmates will be held on Friday, June 11, at 11 a.m. At 12:30 p.m. class president Peter Pratt and the four amigos, Michael Maynard, Jim Rager, Malcolm Jones, and Sam Cuddeback, and amiga Janet Rosa will present two checks to the College, one for the Dartmouth College Fund and the other for Call to Lead, the 1971 John Sloan Dickey and John Rassias Scholarship Fund, and Dartmouth athletics. At 1:30 p.m. Mickey Stuart will host a panel discussion on John Kemeny and his College legacies. Panelists will include Ron Harris, David Aylward, Alice Reno Malone, Amy Sabin ’72, Nels Armstrong, Andrew Hodgdon, Steve Brockway,and Michael Hanitchak ’73. Kemeny was an agent of change. He had a profound impact on the College and, as the panelists will bear witness, on students’ lives. On Saturday, June 12, at 11 a.m. we’ll have a class meeting and election of new class officers. At noon our class will meet virtually with the board of trustees for a brief discussion. At 1:30 p.m. Sam Cuddeback will host a panel discussion titled, “What Lies Ahead.” Participating panelists include Randy Pherson, Gene Thibodeaux, Kathy Rines, Willy Bogan, and Tom Burton. These classmates had interesting, varied, and productive careers and will share their areas of focus in retirement. Breakout sessions will follow their comments, giving us opportunities to discuss our post-career activities. Think about your Dartmouth experience and how it influenced your life after graduation. On Saturday evening June 12 we’ll have a social event, including a class awards ceremony at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 13, is Commencement for the class of ’21. The bad news is that our class won’t be physically participating in the Commencement ceremony, but we understand that the College has strictly limited who can attend. Graduating seniors will be allowed to have two guests attend the ceremony on Memorial Field. The good news is that alumni affairs will produce a short film showing our class connection with the class of ’21. Thanks to Ted Eismeier,who started a survey with classmates on top music during our college days, 40 memorable songs selected by us will be streamed once a day from May 4 to June 11 on a hyperlink to be published in our class website. Enjoy. Our class will be celebrating Homecoming in Hanover October 8-10. Dinners will be hosted by the Oxmans and Kathy Rines and Sunday brunch by Darrell Hotchkiss and Jon Gilbert Fox. So much more news to report in the “Expanded Class Note” to be posted in our class website.
