Class meeting was held October 17 chaired by our new president Rick Hartman. There were more than 21 classmates and four guests in attendance. Kudos to those who work so hard for the College. The outstanding events were hearing from three of our 1954 interns. You would be amazed and proud of these Dartmouth students and the internship projects they related. Additional information on the weekend can be found in the class newsletter.


On the literary side, Bill Gould announced the publication of his third novel, The Note Played Next (available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble). “Two boys; two stories. A shared childhood, divergent lives. A broken family, a fateful college mistake. Passion for art, passion for music. An investment scheme, the satisfactions of teaching. Striving, acceptance. Life as a contest; life as an improvisation.”


The Boston holiday luncheon was held on December 9. Despite a Nor’easter 15 stalwart weathered the storm: Mary and Dave Thielscher, Ellen and Dick Gorsey, Jane and Dick Page, Liz and Tom Kelsey, Lyon Greenberg, Ed Quinn, Mort Heafitz, Phil Cooke, Pete Bullis, Dick Barker and Bob Fanger ’55.
