Our 70th reunion will be held on Friday, September 30, to Sunday, October 2, 2011. We will stay at the Hanover Inn. The College pays for lodging at the Inn for each classmate and a guest (double occupancy) and meals for the weekend! Activities: remarks by President Kim, memorial service, football game (Penn), campus tour and a lecture by a distinguished Dartmouth professor. You will get more instructions. 


If you have not read a tribute to the late Dick Jachens in Dope from the Duckboards, a brief obituary will appear online with this issue. Dick was buried in the Arlington Military Cemetery befitting his 30-plus years of distinguished military service. 


Chip and Vida Deming and Vita and I attended the annual Class Officers Weekend October meeting. As seniors we were upstaged only by Bob ’39 and Evie Kaiser and, of course, 103-year-old Harold Ripley ’29 and wife Mary! Some 300 participants lined up to shake Jim Yong Kim’s hand and to hear his lively talk. Sitting with Lon Cross ’75 and Pam Smyth ’75, we were treated to Lon’s story about last year’s dinner. As ’75 reunion class president, Lon introduced the new prexy by ending with the Korean word for “welcome.” Kim (American-born) who didn’t seem to catch it, quickly informed the audience, “That means “Go Green”! We have not only a smart but a quick-thinking College president! Now think 70th reunion!
