We’re keeping our fingers crossed that we may all remain healthy and ready for an overdue road trip to close out the summer and welcome a beautiful fall foliage season in Hanover later this year. Our 70th reunion dates are now set for Sunday, September 18, through Tuesday, September 20, literally the last three days of summer. Full details, of course, will be forthcoming in direct communication to the class, but the timing seems to be perfect for the opportunity to see our friends, to catch up on the Dartmouth of today, and to enjoy the beauty of New England. We encourage you to get in touch with your classmates and make your plans. Gene Cesari, our reunion chairman, has been working with the College, Frank Logan, class president, and other class officers to make sure you will be well entertained—and comfortable. And in that regard, “comfortable” means we will be respectful of, and compliant with, any continuing issues involving the pandemic. Speaking of the pandemic, we have been able to garner very little class news recently, so we got on the phone and made a few random calls. What we learned is that for most of the winter our classmates have been staying home, enjoying limited visits with family, and otherwise continuing to make certain our nonagenarian assets are well protected. In other words, you’re not alone. We always welcome news from classmates, spouses, and family and we encourage you get in touch. Maybe our reunion will be your breakout event for 2022. We regret to report the passing of two additional classmates, Randolph G. Wilson Jr. of Atlanta and Dr. Richard N. Wilcox of Middletown, Connecticut.
