Class Note 1945
Issue
May-June 2021
Greetings from Hanover! The town still feels empty with half of the students actually on campus. Our provost, however, announced that, “As of today, our planning is for an operational, in-residence, normal fall term.” Imagine hearing the Marching Band on the streets as alumni tailgate, being on the Green for the Homecoming bonfire, and avidly following the many fall sports. The class of 2025 will have the fall term that knocks their socks off and the ’24s will too! Plans depend, of course, on vaccination progress during the next few months. I trust that all ’45s have had their shots by the time you are reading this and that you again feel safe hugging grandchildren and celebrating special moments.
The College recently sent a development update. With money from the now dissolved class treasury, the “Class of 1945 Endowment Fund” is supporting the College’s highest priorities. I am pleased to report that the market value of the fund is now at $72,000. Congratulations to all on this meaningful philanthropy.
My classmate Carolyn Kohn ’76 shared that her dad, Edmund Kohn ’45,passed away last fall. I send heartfelt condolences on behalf of the classes of 1945 and 1976. Edmund took part in the 3-2 program at Tuck, graduating in 1949. He was active in the Canoe Club, the Outing Club, and squash.
Frank Youngman’s granddaughter, Susan, wrote that Frank and his wife, Marilyn, celebrated their 76th wedding anniversary on December 20. I offer a ’45 cheer to celebrate you both! Frank came to Dartmouth from Lakeside School in Seattle, finishing at the University of Washington in the V-12 program. He played freshman basketball and ran track and lived in South Fayerweather. Susan shared an interview Frank did in 2008 which may feel familiar to many of you: www.dartmouth.edu/library/rauner/archives/oral_history/worldwar2/Youngm….
Not all of our classmates have emails on record with the College. If you are without computer access, perhaps you could ask a family member to send you the transcript of Frank’s words. Along with that, ask your family members to send me an update of where you are and what you are most excited about as we come out of this hunkered-down existence. I would love to share your news. Happy spring!
