Class Note 1955
Issue
July-August 2021
Here at the end of April, Covid events are tending better overall but with some unsettling eruptions in some states. However, the class is moving ahead with plans for a mini-reunion in September at the Hanover Inn, which was announced to you in the April newsletter. If you have not followed-up yet, I urge you to do so.
Sixty-five years ago, Tom Byrne’s Class Notes for Dartmouth Alumni Magazine reported we “showed our stuff” as a class with the initiation of the Tim Ellis Award at Wet-down. Another highlight was a Green Key party by our Michigan ’55 contingent hosted out there by John Dinan and Skip Pessl.
Dick Barr, Londonderry, Vermont, called in with the news that he is now a great-grandfather with the arrival of Hudson Harriss Barr last October. Dick continues work on his photo album book—a compilation of his life’s work and memories with publication not too far distant. He also had to shovel his way to his driveway after a mid-April heavy snowfall.
We were able to touch base with Janet and Herb Chandler, Endwell, New York. He has been retired 30-plus years from a civil service position. They have found that area a great place to live and raise their family. Janet advised that right after our chat they would have their weekly Zoom call with family. Joan and Bob Hayes are living their retirement years in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, and doing well following his career in the investments field. John Levitas, Whitesboro, New York, has been active with yard work and his garden. He is looking forward to resuming volunteering at the local hospital, this time at the injection center.
Carolyn and Bill Chapin checked in from Milwaukee, retired after a long career with Milwaukee Malt. They will celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary in August. Bill served in the Air Force as an F-86 interceptor pilot after graduation and continued in the reserves on weekends. He has been active in recruiting for Dartmouth in the Milwaukee area.
Sadly, we report the passing of Stuart Krueger.
