Class Note 1944
Issue
Since this will be our last column for the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine, we wanted to bid you farewell and thank some of the classmates and the people in the alumni office for their help during our tour of duty. While Harry Morse was president we were asked to fill in, temporarily, as secretaries until the class replaced Ezz Hale. Our length of service has given “temporary” a whole new definition. Twenty-three issues later, we are writing our last contribution to DAM.
Every ’44 we asked for info was more than glad to help, from his memories of times gone by. (In fact, we learned a lot about our husbands’ Dartmouth days that they had never shared with us!) Eric Barradale contributed a large amount of information on many subjects. We tapped Bob McLaughry about freshman football, Jack Riley about ice hockey and Dick Whiting about the ’44 Place. Several ’44s did guest columns for us. Bill McElnea—once on his early presidency and lately on the end of his presidency; Dave Nutt about life’s changes; Penn Frost about his personal history and the Web site; Clint Gardner on the October mini; Ezz Hale about personal giving to the College; and Ben Jones on 100 percent class giving to the Alumni Fund and the job of class agents.
We have enjoyed working with the classmates of our husbands, Karl Musser and Russ Burdge. We hope whoever replaces us after the 65th reunion will have as much fun as we have remembering all the memories. Now we say goodbye and thank you for a great four years.
Our condolences to the families and friends of John Gilbert Baker, M.D., and Raymond C. “Buzz” Snell Jr.
