We are still filled with the memories of the 70th while sugar plum fairies dance in our heads. Happy New Year to all.


Our book Dartmouth at War will entertain some more book signings in 2013. In January, with Jon Mendes’ help, we are looking at the New York Historical Society, which is doing a year-long program on WW II in New York. And if we can make it happen a book signing in D.C. Please write a review on Amazon to help us get more exposure.


We need your help in providing more news to the class for our column. Don’t be shy.


Here is some news you may have missed. Dartmouth just admitted 464 early-decision applicants for 2017. Dean of admissions says an “exceptionally accomplished and passionate group of students.”


In keeping with Dartmouth’s continuing contributions to the arts, our theater professor Jamie Horton after appearing in a Dartmouth production of Eurydice, was surprised to find out he would appear in Spielberg’s latest film, Lincoln. You can see where your Dartmouth affiliations may lead.


And one of Dartmouth’s best-known professors, Don Pease, has been awarded the 2012 Carl Bode-Norman Holmes Pearson Award for outstanding contributions in American studies.


Again I have the unpleasant task of reporting the following deaths since the 70th reunion: George McClintock, Swift Barnes and Joe Nason (who attended the 70th).
