From president Shelly Woolf: “Mini-reunion is September 30 to October 2. Save the date for our 90th or 91st birthday party. Rejoice in staying connected. I am pleased and amazed that almost every classmate who signed up for our mini-reunion last year has done so again. That’s a testimony of their positive attitude and determination. All who want to stay at the Hanover Inn must call (603) 643-4300 and ask to confirm in the ’54 room block. There are still 10 rooms left at the Hanover Inn, and it is my hope that they will be taken by classmates or widows who would like to join us. All who want to come but aren’t currently signed up should call me at (508) 728-5757 and get connected.”

Peter Kenyon writes: “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 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.”

He continues, “The endowment fund we completed last year was sent to the athletics department, which will use it to help fund its recruitment of high school athletes. The fund and its earnings will stay in the hands of the athletics department. 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. They are reopening and we should get caught up by the start of the fall semester.”

We mourn the passing of our classmates John Donahue, John Schreiber, and Lon Chaikin.
