Greetings, fellow ’70s. It’s the dog days of summer and class news has slowed to a trickle. The only matter of substance is a note from George Irving reporting that he was recently elected president of the board of trustees of the House of the Seven Gables in Salem, Massachusetts. Long known as a historic and literary landmark, its purpose, not everyone realizes, is to fund educational opportunities with emphasis on under-served immigrant youth and their families besides preserving a unique architectural site. George is a practicing attorney in Salem and urges anyone in the area to pay a visit to this historic city. No need to wait for Halloween.


Gerry Hills ’68, president and founder of the Dartmouth Alumni Club of the Virgin Islands (DACVI), has extended an invitation to any ’70s interested in a Caribbean sailing adventure to join the DACVI for its third annual “green armada” in May 2015. Contact Gerry at stjohnscaptain@aol.com for more information.


Fall is a great time to be back in Hanover, so don’t forget Homecoming is the weekend of October 18 and the Harvard-Dartmouth game will be played at Memorial Field two weeks later on November 1. Hope to see you there.
