Class Note 1971

Issue

May-June 2023

Time, shots, and boosters have allowed many of our classmates to return to traveling!

Willis Newton reports that the class travel committee (Doug Boyink, Malcolm Jones, and Dick Wenzel) has been meeting to identify trips that might be of interest to us. We were focused on a Canadian Rockies-by-rail trip but it is sold out for this summer. We are going to move that trip to June 2024—a six-day trip starting in Vancouver and ending in Banff. Let us know if you are interested and take a look at our trip recommendations at dartmouth71.org. Classmates are beginning to travel and sign up for trips—the Mustards and Oxmans to Tanzania, John Hanley to the Scottish Highlands and Norwegian Fjords (June), and David Aylward cruising the Rhine to see the Christmas markets (November). Why not join in the outings and let us know where you’re going!

A trip to the Bay Area by Dan and Adele Clouse was a good excuse to have a gathering of classmates for lunch in Berkeley on February 27. Attending were regulars Sam Cuddeback, Steve Hoverman, Malcolm Jones, Albert Lamarre and wife Janet, Willis Newton, Roger Prince and wife Noelle Schoellkopf, andDick Wenzel and wife Ruth. It was great to see John Eaton and Barbara and Eric Danoff. While not as esteemed as the Naples, Florida, minis or CarniVail, they enjoyed each other’s company and had a great get-together. Do you have an idea for a gathering? Let the travel committee know!

A shoutout for trips planned by Dartmouth this fall: Professor Jeremy DeSilva, who spoke at our reunion, is leading a 10-day trip after Thanksgiving to the “Cradle of Humankind” and caves east of Cape Town, South Africa, including viewing big game and spending time in Cape Town to tour all the major attractions. Future trips include cruising the Great Lakes and a trip to Bhutan in October (not at the same time).

The annual MS Walk in Boston took place on April 2. Team Zrike has many supporters from our class—please join us in this important work.

Willis Newton reports that the weekly Zoom calls continue to attract an average of 25 classmates with discussion of topics of general interest. Consider joining us on Wednesdays at 2 p.m. EST.
