Late spring and early summer, time to think back on our first year in Hanover (’48-’49) and, for many of us, our last year as undergraduates (’52). As we communicate to you in this issue there are still some 110 of us—all domiciled in the United States, as far as we know—and we are supported by about 200 spouses and partners with whom we have contact. Good bonding and not bad for us old-timers.

We recently had a good visit by phone with our oldest living classmate, Nick Serenyi, a resident of Ruffs Dale, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. Nick reports, at age 97, he is doing well and sends his best to all. Oh, and our youngest classmate is our class president, George Hibben,one of some 20 ’52s born in 1931. To round out the numbers game, not surprisingly, about 70 of us were born in 1930, a dozen in 1929, and a handful before that. Of course, the strength of our class is not when we were born, it is the lasting friendships we have developed through these many years. Don’t give up on it.

Moving on, a couple of issues ago we paid tribute to the Teevens family, honoring Buddy Teevens ’79, son of Mary and Eugene Teevens. Now, as you probably all know, the College has memorialized his career and his passing by naming the football stadium in his honor. Well deserved—and it has a nice ring to it: “Dartmouth wins again at Teevens Stadium.” No class events are scheduled for the next couple of months—we’re saving ourselves for the 75th reunion, I guess.

If you are reading this in print, your address is current. However, we may not have current phone contact or email address. Please help us stay in touch with your news and numbers. It is with respect and sadness we report the passing of Tyler W. Dann, David A. Drexler, S. Robert Jelley, Stephen R. Parkhurst, David K. Sunderland,and Albert J. Dubuque Jr. Remembrances for them can be found in the online edition of the alumni magazine.
