January-February 2022
From Peter Kenyon: “We are in the process of finishing our 2021 intern and recruited athlete projects.
“We are sponsoring three interns from each of the three centers with which we work each year: Rockefeller, Dickey, and the Dartmouth Center for Social Impact. The internships for the nine were taken virtually. This made the cost for each to be much less expensive. The funding of the project is coming from the earnings we get from the investment of the internship endowment fund. This year we will use about one half the amount earned. Next year we should be back to our normal amount earned and spent.
“As for our recruited athlete, the endowment fund we generated last year was sent to the College athletic department, which will use the funds to recruit high school athletes. The fund and its earnings will stay in the hands of the athletic department. Our participation in the recruiting of high school athletes is no longer our project.
“For the memorial book program, we place a book in Baker Library in the name of each deceased ’54 classmate. This has been held up this year as Baker has been mostly closed and new books have been few. It is reopening and we should get caught up by the start of the fall semester.”
Mead Medcalf has published a new book, The Music Man, as reported in the August 17, 2021, issue of The Aspen Times.
All were disappointed that the 2021 mini-reunion had to be cancelled due to Covid-19, but president Shelly Woolf is preparing for fall of 2022. He has reserved rooms at the Hanover Inn, so if you plan to attend, contact Shelly for information.
We mourn the passing of Barbara Barker, Gerald Bregman, Jay Davis, Jackson Smith, Alan Staley, and Edmund Kidd.
