Class Note 1971

Issue

March-April 2022

As I write for the March/April issue, I realize that our 50-plus-one reunion is less than six months away! While we gathered virtually for our 50th on June 12, 2021, we plan to meet (Covid permitting) in Hanover June 13-15, following the class of ’22 graduation on Sunday, June 12. It’s time to start planning and making hotel reservations (assume dorm housing will be available). All classmates, spouses and widows, and adopted classmates are invited.

For those arriving in the Upper Valley before reunion registration on Monday, June 13, consider attending a planned dinner at Moosilauke on Saturday, June 11, and hike on Sunday, June 12 (contact Peter Webster, weebs71@gmail.com, or Mickey Stuart, mickeystuart@me.com). Also consider golf hosted by Ted and Betsy Eismeier (tjeismeier@gmail.com) at Quechee, Vermont, on June 12 (noon tee-off).

We have lots of exciting activities planned for reunion. June 13 there will be a clambake and class picture followed by band entertainment with the classes of 1970 and 1972. June 14 we will have the opportunity to have a tour and reception at the new Center for Engineering and Computer Science Class of 1971 Emerging Technologies Lab (note our class name on the technologies lab). In addition, there will be lectures by College professors, a possible tour of the Hood Museum, and June 15 a closing banquet dinner at the Hanover Inn. Most importantly, there will be ample time throughout the reunion to tour the campus and its new buildings and reconnect with other ’71s in our class tent, where you can enjoy food and drink and put your feet up!

Finally, following the official end of our reunion on Wednesday, June 15, consider gathering at the College Grant (contact Peter Webster, weebs71@gmail.com or Mickey Stuart, mickeystuart@me.com) or staying at the Von Trapp Lodge in Stowe, Vermont (contact Wayne Hobin, dreunion71@gmail.com).

Our very own Robert Cordy, retired Massachusetts Supreme Court judge, has been appointed to the ethics council of the High Council of Justice of the Ukraine in November 2021. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, “I hope that the ethics council will start its work as soon as possible. Despite considerable resistance, we managed to begin the most important stage of the changes I initiated in the judiciary. The formation of the virtuous High Council of Justice and High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine will help restore Ukranians’ trust in the judiciary and ensure further cleansing of the system.”

Quick reminder about upcoming ’71 mini-reunions: CarniVail in Vail, Colorado, March 4-5 (contact Wayne Hobin, dreunion71@gmail.com) and Naples, Florida, March 24-27 (contact Jim Rager, rager.jim@gmail.com).

I regret to report the passing of our classmate Willard “Bill” Riley on April 10, 2021. A remembrance will appear at dartmouthalumnimagazine.com/obits.
