The WW II memoir book is here! Its here! Well almost. Our book is titled Dartmouth at War. Your class officers attended the annual Class Officers Weekend and received a wonderful surprise—our book and the class received a Pursuit of Excellence Award and a standing ovation. All of you should feel very proud of the book and your contribution. By the time you read this you will have your copy.


Seventieth reunion alert! Save the dates: September 14-16. You will be guests at the newly renovated Hanover Inn. For this reunion your only responsibility will be to get yourself there. Everything else will be taken care of by the College. We have some nice events in the planning stage. It will be a good opportunity to visit with classmates and see new developments on the campus. And we promise a small dose of education, good food and conviviality—possibly a football game. You won’t want to miss it. More information will be forthcoming.


One of our own, Michael Arad ’91, as some of you may know, was the architect of the new World Trade Center Memorial. You can see a video on him and the site commemorating 9/11. Very moving.


Dartmouth did quite well with Hurricane Irene. Nothing like the Hurricane of ’38.


Dartmouth Aires “rocking it” on NBC’s The Sing-off. We do get around. You can watch their performances online. 


I regret once again having to report the loss of two more great classmates: Herbert Swain on September 18, 2011, and Frederic Main in May 2011.
