There was no spring in Hanover, but we had a beautiful June with a lovely day for Dartmouth graduation! 


The following is a continuation of Survey responses. John Halstead writes from Orchard Park, New York: “I live in a wonderful, progressive care retirement facility—wonderful partly because we don’t talk about our various ailments. Many of our old friends have congregated here and it’s nice seeing them growing old gracefully and joyfully.” Stuart Anderson notes that at 91 he is writing another book, Stuart Anderson Speaks: My Tales to Success, and “my wife, Helen, and I have a great life in the California desert. My family is healthy, which is a blessing.” William Hatt is “still working one day a week in a free clinic and I run a quarter-mile three times a week.” He also reports that he has “moved in with son Richard, who lives on a dirt road in Myakka City, Florida. The difference between Yogurt and Myakka City: Yogurt has an active culture!” Tim Lewis “is spending winters in Florida, summers in New Hampshire and traveling in between.” Chandler Stein writes, “I spent all my life and career (as a lawyer and legislation staff member) in upstate New York, but when I retired my wife and I started spending the winter months in Florida. We still return to the Albany-Lake George area for approximately four months in the summer. We also did a great deal of travel to Europe, East Africa, the Caribbean and the western United States.” Fred Berthold is writing about “the very earliest Christian church, its Jewish nature and its influence upon the development of Islam. I would welcome any wisdom from classmates on ‘why was there a snake in the garden?’ ”


Rosalie continues to be on leave but will return to these pages shortly.


I also remind you that there is a ’45 lunch the second Tuesday of every month at the Norwich Inn. If you are in the area, please join us!


We sadly report the loss of two classmates, Richard Miller and Crawford “Bud” Elder.
