Class Note 1972
Issue
September-October 2023
Dear, ’72s, by the time you read this, the Seattle mini organized by Bill Price, Neal Traven, and Dan Cooperman will have been held. I’ll report more later.
As most of you know, Buddy Teevens ’79 suffered a horrific bicycle accident. Our prayers go out to Coach Teevens and his family. Buddy spoke to us at our 50th, set up by Wayne Young. Jack Manning relayed that Buddy shoveled the snow off the “D” in the center of the football field every time it was covered by snow. Anyone who has had interactions with Coach Teevens knows that he exudes enthusiasm and sincerity.
Michael Hills reported that several classmates gathered for a mini in Charleston, South Carolina, for several days of fun and various activities. Joining Michael were wife, Betsey, Max and Jan McGee, and Tobey Choate and wife Mary Ann Pesce. Bill, “Mouse” Anderson and wife Mary Carol were scheduled to attend but had to cancel.
Several classmates are planning to attend a rugby gala in France in September. Among them are president Joe Davis, Jack and Peggy Manning, and Chuck and Mary Leer. Kirk Andrus had to cancel and Lawrie Lieberman has a conflict.
Hans and Priscilla Stumm and Gary and Virginia Shanley joined Barb and me for dinner in Naples, Florida, before we all departed for our northern haunts.
Let’s give a rouse to our prolific newsletter editor, Bill Roberts, who manages to assemble lots of news in between his travels to various places around the world.
Your executive committee is working on several worthwhile projects, including Athletes United, spearheaded by Michael Sachs’s daughter, Myra, when she was on campus; the coaches recruiting fund; intramural sports; and Dartmouth undergraduate veterans to attend the Tuck Bridge program. Give a rouse to Gary Dicovitsky, a proud new grandfather, for managing the effort, along with generous donations from a classmate who wishes to remain anonymous. Give a rouse to Andrew “Chip” Carstensen, who has been our perennial class treasurer. Chip relayed that the timers at our mandatory swim requirement test during freshman week were disappointed in his time because they had confused Chip with Chris Carstensen, a swim recruit, and, quite possibly, a distant relative. Does Dartmouth still have a mandatory swim requirement?
Lest the old traditions fail.
