Friendly, the Dragon, our class logo pet, created and designed by Doug Leigh, must have snorted and roared in delight over the enthusiastic turnout of 17 of our stalwart ’46 class family who celebrated our 68th mini-reunion Homecoming Weekend October 16-18. Festivities started off with a Friday night buffet dinner at the Hanover Inn, where we were visited by Dartmouth professor Roger Ulrich, son of deceased John Ulrich, and Martha Beattie (College VP of alumni relations). Hank Parker, wearing his old 1946 class jersey, which still fit, led the parade to the bonfire as our lone class representative.


Saturday morning Jack Howard, president, presided over our class meeting. Minutes: In view of such a small response, only reservations will be made for those who choose to arrive on Thursday night for future mini-reunion weekends. Our next mini will be changed to the first football home game with Sacred Heart in the hope of attracting some of our snowbirds, who head south early. Bud Baker, treasurer, informed us that our budget status is good. Class donations will appear in a forthcoming newsletter. Our class executive committee will be Jack Howard, acting president; Bud Baker, treasurer; John L.E. Wolff, secretary; executive advisors Harvey White and Frank Guarini. The class deeply appreciates the many contributions made by Tom Adams during his presidency as well as surpassing alumni dues goals as head class agent for many years. The class still leans on Tom, his wife, Emilie, and son Tee for their invaluable advice and support. The tailgate party arranged by Milt Cooper and Jack Howard was topped off by a 24-21 victory over Holy Cross. Our class banquet at the Hanover Inn was an elegant event. Alumni at the mini: Bob Clifton, Hank Parker, Milt Cooper, Brad Moorehouse, Bob Levinson, Bob Barrow, Jack Howard and John Wolff. Also six charming and welcome wives, partners and widows Molly Scheu and Nancy Pierce and Bob Barrow’s son Rich ’78. I highly recommend reading in the September-October issue of DAM about Bob Levinson’s firsthand experience with the testing of a new hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean under the direction of the physicist Edwin Teller. Bob’s wife, Pat, is on the board of trustees at Mount Sinai Hospital, N.Y.C., where I am an attending physician in infectious diseases. Our sympathy to the family of Kenneth Joseph Whalen, who died September 29.
