Class Note 1971
Issue
January-February 2022
Happy New Year—hope this finds you healthy and safe!
This year seven students will be paired with the Class of 1971 Scholarship Fund: Marco E. Allen ’23 (Colorado), Ana J. Furtado ’22 (Brazil), Camaira M. Walker ’24 (Maryland), Ivan Tochimani-Hernandez ’24 (Colorado), Aleemah “Lee-Lee” N. Williams ’24 (North Carolina), Shania D. Smith ’23 (New York), and Dominik J. Pauli ’23 (Germany). Congratulations!
On July 11 Robert Lamarre hosted a micro-reunion in Denver with Albert Lamarre, Randy Wise, Doug Best, Thomas Goldthwait, and Dave Herrick. Burgers and beer were enjoyed by all.
The annual N.Y.C. dinner was held on October 5 in the Tap Room of the Yale Club. In attendance were Tom Price, Rich Sternberg, Pete Ruegger,Judy and Jeff McElnea, Gail and Greg Fell, and Richard Wooster, who summarized the event as “a terrific evening, with many good stories and lots of laughs—a good time was had by all.”
More than 70 classmates and spouses gathered in Hanover for Homecoming in October. Peter Pratt reports that “1971 enjoyed multiple meals together. On Thursday night four of us gathered in Pine to thank Joe Piedrafite from the alumni relations office for his yeoman’s assistance on our virtual 50th. On Friday night Marsha and I hosted 21 classmates and significant others in the Hanover Inn. On Saturday night the 20 ’71s who were part of the 1970 football team, along with their spouses and significant others, gathered in the Hanover Inn ballroom for a dinner for 90 guests. Meanwhile, another 22 of us joined Kathy Duff Rines at her beautiful farmhouse for a catered dinner. Dartmouth beat Yale in overtime by 24-17 and it was a magnificent Homecoming. Homecoming next year will be on October 28-29 vs. Harvard.”
We have just learned that Peter Pratt has been selected for induction into the Stephen F. Mandel ’52 Society at the College. This group recognizes alumni volunteers who provide visionary leadership in raising gifts to Dartmouth through the Dartmouth College Fund.
Congratulations, Peter!
In addition, at the annual VOX meeting in October, held virtually this year, our great class was recognized once again: “The Class Officer Association executive board and alumni relations has recognized the class of 1971 for hosting weekly Zooms; organizing a 50th reunion book of more than 1,000 pages that reached and connected classmates in a year without a normal reunion; and for their fundraising and financial support of scholarship, athletics and the computer innovation lab as well as setting the record for the most Bartlett Tower Society members at a 50th reunion.”
I regret to report the passing of classmate Gregory Alfred Boyt on August 31, 2021. A remembrance will appear at dartmouthalumnimagazine.com/obits.
Please mark your calendars for the long awaited, in-person celebration of our 50-plus-one reunion in Hanover June 13-15. More details to follow.
