Under the skilled orchestration of our vice president, Jack Howard,we are closing in on finalizing plans for our mini-reunion on the Yale Homecoming Weekend, October 12. Emily, our president Tom Adams’wife, has assisted this effort with invaluable advice gleaned from previous reunions. Their son Tee did all the art and design work on the mini flyer describing the mini-reunion weekend’s schedule of events along with the costs. Fortunately, we are minimizing costs with the generous assistance of Sharon Whyte of alumni relations, who printed Tee’s fliers, which you have already received.


Our treasurer, Bud Baker, is doing a superb job in managing our budget and keeping costs down. You have already received his request for dues so we can continue our class projects and keep up with our current expenditures.


Since we didn’t have a mini last year, let’s make up for it this year with a good turnout. Our original class size was 600 in 1942. We grew to a total of 960 during the war (the largest class in Dartmouth history) and currently have 310 classmates and 110 widows. 


Sympathies to the families of the following deceased classmates: James Hutcheon Pert, M.D., March 5; Daniel William O’Connor, Ph.D., April 1, pastor and former professor of religious studies and classical languages at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York; George Cecil Riley, April 4, president of wholesale fuel distributor Community Service Stations (my wife, Susan, and I enjoyed conversing with George and Mercedes at our 65th reunion); Kimball Michael Jones, April 11, teacher of French and English at Noble and Greenough School in Dedham, Massachusetts; Layton Stearns Lyon, April 26, 2004, merchandising manager; and Charlie Cunningham, May 13, lately of Hanover and Lebanon, New Hampshire. 


See you at the mini.
