Class Note 1965
Issue
September-October 2021
We have some good news from mini-reunion chair Mike Gonnerman. Our first in-Hanover class reunion since 2019 will be on Homecoming Weekend, October 7-10. Plan on joining your classmates for a fun fall weekend at Mount Moosilauke and in Hanover! We are hoping for peak foliage and nice weather.
We begin on Thursday, October 7, with cocktails and dinner in the Class of 1965 Meeting Room at the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge. If you wish, you can spend the night at the Class of 1965 Cabin adjacent to the lodge. On Friday morning you may hike to the summit of Mount Moosilauke or take a shorter hike near the lodge. Friday evening we will have a reception at a local home, close enough to the Green to also attend the Homecoming parade, speeches, bonfire, and receptions (all depending, of course, on current Covid protocols).
Saturday morning there will be College lectures and events (schedule to come in September), followed by our usual cookout at Sphinx before the 1:30 football game against Yale. That evening there will be a cocktail party and dinner at Pierce’s Inn, followed by a performance by Dartmouth Decibelles. The class of 1964 will join us for the cookout and dinner. We will wrap up on Sunday with a class meeting at Pierce’s.
It’s worth a trip just to see the new, post-pandemic Hanover. The Hanover Inn and the Casque & Gauntlet House still anchor the north end of Main Street, but many of the old names are gone. There’s no more Dartmouth Bookstore, Campion’s departed some years ago (currently occupied by Starbucks), and neither the Dartmouth Savings nor Dartmouth National (where I worked) banks have survived. The Dartmouth Co-op is still around (albeit diminished in size), and Lou’s Restaurant continues to operate (on the fourth owner since Lou himself retired). Tanzi’s is long gone, but beer is still available at Stinson’s Village Store (Moe’s to us).
I regret to report the loss of classmate Bob Justis. Check the class website for obituaries and other updates: www.biggreen65.com.
