Well, it’s happened. Not a shred of news. Zilch. Zip. Nada. Not that I don’t understand, as it is Christmas Eve as I write and I’m stuck in the office. This season is always a busy one at home and for many of us in our work lives as well. Somehow I’d always figured it would eventually ease off a bit, but that has not been my experience. The dearth of news suggests I may not be alone.


So I’ll simply make yet another a shameless plug for our 40th reunion set for June 14-17. You’ll note it’s a midweek event—apparently the College too had assumed that things would have slowed down for us 60-somethings—but we hope that won’t dampen anyone’s enthusiasm or ability to participate. There will be all the usual stuff to do: golf, tennis, concerts, campus tours, academic open houses, receptions, dinners and some great old tunes for singing along or dancing. Watch for details in upcoming newsletters and mailings or keep checking our class Web site at www.dartmouth.org/classes/70. Personally, I’m looking forward to just spending time with old friends and maybe making a few new ones. Don’t pass up this opportunity to do the same. Plan now to come.
