Winter has passed, spring is fading away, and we’re thinking of returning to Hanover to close out summer in mid-September. Life is getting back to normal. How does that sound? Or, as they say on television, The Price is Right. The strongest reasons to return to campus on September 18-20 for our 70th reunion are, of course, to see longtime friends, to reminisce about our formative years in Hanover, to visit our old haunts, and to enjoy the beauty of fall foliage. This will be especially enjoyable this year because school will be in session and we can picture ourselves once again as pea-green freshmen in the Dartmouth tradition. And for spouses and widows, this is a wonderful opportunity to renew the bonds that have held us together all these years. Please call or write if you have any questions or comments as you plan your attendance. Gene Cesari, reunion chairman, will keep you posted on program developments. In class news, Jack Boyle and his wife, Dodie, have settled in at their new home in the retirement community of Evans Park in Newton, Massachusetts. They join several other classmates in various retirement communities in the Boston area. That would include Bob Brace, George Hibben, Steve Parkhurst, Ed Finerty, Dick Colson, and Paul Black, all longtime New Englanders. Along the same lines, Doug Corderman has written that he and his wife, Joan, are enjoying retirement community life in Lake Oswego, Oregon, and he was thrilled that 37 members of his family could join them to celebrate his 90th birthday last fall. Dr. Evan “Bud” Nelson, a loyal alum who has attended many reunions, plans to join us in Hanover this year, and he reports all is well in Minnesota. Another doctor, Harry Goldsmith, has been in touch from Glenbrook, Nevada, and he reports he is still working on solutions to the dreaded Alzheimer’s disease. He has just published a new paper on this subject. I’m sorry to report we have lost several more classmates, Henry Williams Jr., David Snyder, Robert Medvecky, Dr. Jules Baum,and Charles Curtis.
