The news from Hanover has been on the upside these spring months. Pandemic restrictions eased and classes commenced as normal, spring sports took place, a grand graduation was held on the Green with all assembled as before, and June reunions were held as they always had been. Top of the list though has to be the announcement that Dartmouth is removing all federal and institutional loans from its undergraduate financial aid awards and replacing them with expanded scholarship grants. This significant change in financial aid policy took place beginning with the 2022 summer term. Of note also, students formed a Ukraine support group, and an on-campus forum on Ukraine with two U.S. senators was held. Our new athletic director is Mike Harrity, most recently at West Point. Big Green football gets underway as defending Ivy champs. Do you think we’ll have a subway world series?

George Fenzl sent a nice series of emails catching up with class matters. He and Judy are living comfortably on one floor, as suits most of us these days, in Kailua, Hawaii. He claims they actually see more of their kids now since they love to travel out to the islands to visit and vacation. He and Bill Browning stay in touch regularly. Bill advises he is busily engaged in writing a memoir.

Sharon and Tom McGreevey are doing nicely at their retirement enclave in Durham, North Carolina. There he meets up with co-residents Coyla and Ed Barry. Tom adds that Evelyn and Bob Comer plan once again to spend the summer at their vacation home on the New Jersey shore.

Homecoming is October 28-29. Plan to be there and join classmates for the parade, bonfire, football versus Harvard, and some tailgate or dinner together time.
