Dartmouth Alumni Magazine is publishing smaller issues for the time being to do its part in cutting college costs. Alumni obituaries no longer appear in the print edition but will be on the DAM Web site at www.dartmouthalumnimagazine.com. Recently deceased classmates include George Hanna, Lester Craig, John Davenport, Len Vines, Harry Gates and Colby Cogswell.


Bill Hyde writes to say how much he and his wife enjoy country living in Gig Harbor, Washington. He retired from his family wholesale grocery business and is still skiing and golfing! At age 92, wow!


Shortly before our 70th a number of classmates and widows who couldn’t attend for health and other reasons sent best wishes for a great reunion. For those thoughtful messages, we thank Jim and Doris Corner, Lloyd and Jane Noland, Frank O’Brien, Morris Seligman, Tom Brooks, Warner Kiefaber, Ken Ritchie, Dud Richards, June (Harry) Gates and Bobbie (Frank) Farnell.


Ken Ritchie said it was important that he stay home with his wife in her 10th year with Alzheimer’s. He asked me to give his best to Andy Ruoff and to report that a knee replacement forced him to give up skiing. I forgot to tell this to Andy at reunion and am making up for it here. Dud Richards especially bemoaned his physical inability to attend reunion since he was born in Hanover, and recalled that his childhood friends included classmates Howie Chivers, John Mecklin, Eddie Wells, Ralph Holben and Dick Dunham. Sadly, Dud is the only survivor.
