Class Note 1945
Issue
May-June 2024
We have survived the mud season in Hanover and spring has sprung. This month will mark a special moment for the Dartmouth community as we come together to honor the legacy of Buddy Teevens ’79 on May 18. Buddy lost his life after a tragic bike accident last year. His contributions to the Dartmouth family and the sport of football were extraordinary.
This fall the football team will play at the newly dedicated Buddy Teevens Stadium at Memorial Field. Memorial Field will continue to honor students and alumni who lost their lives in wars. “As a coach, a colleague, a classmate, and a teammate, Buddy Teevens was a leader who encouraged people to perform at their best, not just on the football field but in life,” says President Sian Beilock, an adopted ’76. “Naming the stadium for Buddy will help that legacy endure for generations to come.” I hope that future Dartmouth students will learn of the selfless leadership and game-changing contributions Buddy shared at Dartmouth and throughout the sport of football. I will remember him as a remarkable friend, and as a mentor to every young coach that came into the Dartmouth coaching ranks.
Earle “Bud” Street has sent me cheery letters sharing news since I took on writing the Class Notes, so I am sad to share that Bud passed away on January 17 at the age of 100. Bud preceded me as the class secretary. He was a member of Dragon and president of Delta Tau Delta. Bud, as many ’45s did, graduated in 1947 due to the war. He was a U.S. Army Air Force B-17 pilot in those years away from Hanover. Bud enjoyed a lengthy career at a Boston realty and insurance firm, Street and Co. The last 20 years of that career he served as president.
A longtime resident of Lincoln, Massachusetts, he was the charter commissioner of the Lincoln Softball League and a coach. He served as president of the White Mountain Ski Runners in New Hampshire in the 1970s and played golf up to the age of 95. Bud lived on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in the later years of his life. He is survived by his four children, six grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. Heartfelt condolences to his family.
