We have learned from Jane Wyman, daughter of Bettina Wyman Emmons, that her mother passed away June 12 at age 91. Losing Betsy seems as sad to those of us who knew her as losing another classmate. As Dick Wyman’s wife, then widow after Dick’s death in November 1976, Betsy attended almost every reunion, mini-reunion and other 1939 function until she was no longer physically able to travel. She was a member of the class executive committee and the class widows chairperson. Wintering in Florida, Betsy used to throw an elegant party in her spacious Naples apartment for class members residing in or visiting southwest Florida in early March each year in the 1990s. Years earlier she rented a Hanover home right across the street from us (the Kaisers) and audited Dartmouth courses for the entire winter term. We extend condolences of the class to her three daughters.


Two nongrad classmates, Eugene Weeks and Calvin Routzahn, have recently passed on. Our condolences to their families. The College has reported the recent receipt of a substantial unrestricted bequest from a trust established by late classmate Foster Clippinger, who died in 1974.


For those who are computer-savvy, Ellie Prescott (Baxter’s wife) calls attention to Dartmouth’s comprehensive Web site as a great way to become familiar with the exciting changes and activities at the College these days.
