Class Note 1954
Nov - Dec 2014
Now that things have settled down from our 60th reunion, a special thanks to those who worked so tirelessly to make it a fantastic affair: Rick Hartman, program and logistics; John Fenn, dining; Dick Barker, communications; Jim Tofias, finances; Herb Hillman, housing; Tom Kelsey, memorial service; Dan McCarthy, panel discussion (aided by Jon Moore and Bill Mansfield); Dick Page, nominating committee; Shelly Woolf and Dick Page, class gift; Steve Mullins, libations; and Don Berlin, chairman.
Dalt Dulac from Winthrop, Washington, the scene of terrible fires started by lightning strikes, says more than 150 homes have been destroyed. His home is okay, although they have no power. A standby generator supplies necessary power for refrigeration and freezer, but they haul water for daily needs.
Shelly Woolf had knee surgery at the end of June. He’s home, but is finding the recovery uncomfortable and painful.

On Sunday, June 8, well more than 150 MIT rowing alums, spouses, representatives from the MIT crew coaching staff and other friends of MIT crew gathered at the boathouse for the annual reunion row. What distinguished this reunion row is that the 2014 rendition was specially named the Gerrit Zwart Reunion Row in honor of MIT’s legendary lightweight crew coach.

Rick and Anne Hartman and Don and Barbara Berlin flew to Paris after reunion. After four days in Paris they joined a Dartmouth trip on board the Avalon sailing down the Seine to Normandy (visiting the landing site). On June 30 Don presented the class gavel to Rick as the new class president.
On the athletic side, the ever-young swimmer Steve Mullins competed in the World Master Championships in Montreal, which ran from July 27 through August 10, and came away with a fourth and seventh in the 80-85 group.
