Class Note 1965
Issue
Forty-five years since our graduation from Dartmouth—what a milestone! We will have a great opportunity to celebrate it June 14 to 17 and are looking forward to seeing many classmates and their guests. We are grateful to Bruce Wagner, Ted Atkinson and their hardworking reunion committee.
Speaking of the reunion, we have until June 30 to make our contributions to the Dartmouth College Fund to commemorate this event. We would like to have the largest yet percent of participation. We’re hoping for 65 percent or better. Please join in if you haven’t already: www.dartmouth.edu/~alfund.
During the reunion we will be electing our slate of class officers to serve for the next five years leading up to the 50th reunion. We are grateful to our leadership team of the past five years. Ken McGruther, our president, has kept us focused on class goals of increasing participation in class activities including both reunions and financial contributions. We have supported the class projects, most recently the Passion for Skiing book. Bob Murphy has served us well as treasurer. Jim Griffiths, as alumni fund head agent, has diligently encouraged our participation. Carl Boe’s newsletters have been informative and entertaining. He has maximized the use of electronic versions of the newsletter. French and Bob McConnaughey consistently assured that our Hanover mini-reunions were well organized and ran smoothly.
Bob Blake served as vice president for out-of-Hanover mini-reunions, seeking out innovative opportunities for us to gather in various venues. Vice president for special projects Mike Gonnerman spent a good deal of time in Hanover planning and organizing our future class projects. We are well represented at the Alumni Council by Hank Amon. A vote of thanks is due to John Sottile ’64 for serving as our webmaster.
The annual executive committee meeting at Bill Webster’s house in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, will be held on July 7. This has been an important opportunity for class leaders to engage in planning efforts to benefit the class. Many creative and useful ideas have been developed at these gatherings over the years. Anyone interested in participating can contact Bill Webster, william.webster@morganstanley. com.
Jane and George Wittreich, molo@verizon.net, are planning our Hanover mini-reunion for the weekend of October 8-11. This being Columbus Day weekend and not on Homecoming opens the opportunity for some new and different activities. Suggestions are welcome.
