Bill Briggs is still at the Stagecoach Bar every Sunday in Wilson, Wyoming, playing his great swing dance numbers. There is always a cheer from the crowd when the band leader announces that Bill was the first human to ski down the Grand (and live!). There was also a big bash there for his 90th birthday. Norm Veasey writes: “The important thing to us and our family is that Suzy and I are alive and kicking. I’ve been so lucky and blessed to have been happily married to Suzy. I’ve been a lawyer and a judge for 66 years. Next month I plan to retire from active law and judging practice and continue dividing our days among our four offspring and 11 grandchildren.” Mike Finnigan eventually settled in Rochester, New York, where he is now a retired professor at the University of Rochester. Although none of his children went to Dartmouth, his son married a Dartmouth alumna, Kara Finnigan ’90. He has continued to be active in Dartmouth affairs and tries to make most reunions.
No date has been set for our 70th reunion, but it will be sometime in September 2024. The September/October issue of the DAM was a special installment devoted to things to love about Dartmouth.
From Jeff Crowe ’78: “After more than 60 years in the Boston area, Joan and John Crowe now live in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, near their daughter Betsy. Through the decades John had three children and six grandchildren follow him to Dartmouth. In April his granddaughter, Katherine Crowe ’10, got married to Tammer Raouf ’09. The wedding pictures show the impressive number of Dartmouth graduates in attendance—more than 70! John is pictured at the front and center of the group along with me, the father of the bride. After the photo, John joined the assembled alums in an enthusiastic rendition of the alma mater.”
We are sad to post the passing of Jerry O’Neil, Bob Mower, Bill Bullen, Tom Agan, Jim Tofias, Bob Collimore, Phillipe Cooke, Richard Gates,Rosemary Mandelbaum, Serge Maltzoff, and Bob Sokolski.
