A mini-reunion is scheduled for Charlottesville, Virginia, May 6-9.

A block of rooms is reserved at Farmington Country Club, a 200-plus-year-old home with a special dining room addition designed by Thomas Jefferson while president of the United States.
Note that you can find obituaries online at https://dartmouthalumnimagazine.com as well as an updated listing in print of all deceased alumni at the end of Class Notes. Classmates will find full obituaries of the following classmates in the online DAM and at dartmouth71.org: Colby Shannon Morgan Jr. (May 24, 2022), Peter Michael Etzel (January 9, 2023), Mark Robert Bardo (March 13, 2023), Gunnar Flintberg (April 28, 2023), Malcolm I. Jones Jr. (July 17, 2023), Gordon B. Flint Jr. (July 28, 2023), and Francis X. Canning (September 29, 2023). We mourn their passing.
Today is the deadline for this issue, but I wanted to wait until our class-sponsored Zoom of “Dartmouth: The Foundation Years” was aired this evening. Hosted by Nels Armstrong, the program shared the story of Allen “Tiny” Evans, who in the late 1960s and early 1970s was allowed to skip the regular admissions process and use “street smarts” as indicators of his abilities to be successful. Tiny was a bit older than the rest of our class yet he and several other Black men were able to come off the streets, complete their undergraduate requirements, and find tremendous success back home helping others on those same streets.
It is a special story in the College’s history that would not have been possible without the support of the Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Foundation. The program was recorded and will be available to classmates shortly.
