Class Note 1965
Issue
January-February 2022
It seems strange, at the dawn of a new year, to be looking back on this past October, but that’s the way publishing deadlines work. As I’m writing this I am still feeling the warm glow of seeing classmates gathered in person in Hanover. Our mini-reunion, organized by Mike Gonnerman, was a social, athletic, and culinary success.
Festivities started on Thursday night with dinner at the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge. Classmates there included Rich Beams and Mahala, Dave Beattie and Sue, Ted Bracken, Don Bradley and Marianne, Mike Gonnerman and Betsy, Jim Griffiths and Debbie, Roger Hansen and Nancy, Bob McConnaughey and French, John McGeachie and Emma, and Linda Waterhouse. We were also graced with the presence of Jennifer Hardy, who has done much for our class in her position in alumni relations.
Classmates spent Friday hiking and revisiting old haunts before reconvening at the Gonnerman home for drinks and dinner before the bonfire and other Homecoming events. In addition to those mentioned above, we were joined there and at subsequent class activities by Ted Atkinson and Marcia Pryde, John Bullock and Gretchen, Pete Frederick and Marcia, Steve Fowler and Linda, Bob Murphy and Brigid, Mark Nackman and Barb, Bill Webster and Sue, and George Wittreich and Jane. Saturday saw us at our traditional pregame BBQ, followed by a thrilling overtime football win against Yale. We all repaired to Pierce’s Inn for celebratory cocktails and dinner, enhanced by a performance by the Dartmouth Decibelles and a rousing alma mater.
Our annual class meeting Sunday morning was convened by President Bradley after a Pierce’s breakfast. Full minutes appear on our class website and include dates for next year’s mini-reunion and our summer meeting at Bill Webster’s. We voted to adopt Jennifer Hardy (see above) and Cindy Pierce and her husband, Bruce Lingelbach, owners of Pierce’s Inn, in gratitude for their help to our class. Cindy’s late father, Reg Pierce, had also been adopted, creating the first set of father-daughter classmates!
With sadness I report the loss of classmates Rob Hartford and Ned McCook.Obituaries and other class news can be found at www.biggreen65.com.
