It is always enjoyable to reconnect with classmates who haven’t been in touch for a while, and these past two months have provided ample opportunity. On a recent trip to Scottsdale, Arizona, we had a chance to visit with Will Rooke and his wife, Glady, and we’re pleased to report they are doing fine. Will had a hip replacement operation in mid-March, but he was moving comfortably and on target for full recovery. Also from Scottsdale, we have been in touch with Ted Hecht and his wife, Barbara. They are still doing some traveling, as is Em White, who recently returned to his Naples, Florida, home after hiking in Iceland and Greenland. Jack Barclay phoned recently from his home in St. Joseph, Missouri, and we had a long and interesting conversation. He, too, reports he is in reasonably good health and he sounds as enthusiastic as ever. In late April we made a trip to “the interior” and had a most pleasant lunch with Kermit Ingham and his wife, Bette, in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Kerm is ever the loyal Dartmouth alum, but he does love those Cowboys at Oklahoma State—understandable, he has lived in Stillwater for some 85 years! We also made contact recently with Frank Cory at his home in Lima, Ohio. He is retired from his law practice, but he and his wife, Dee, are doing well. Unfortunately, the occasion of the contact was to express condolences and pay our respects to Frank’s twin brother, Charles “Chuck” Cory, who passed away on February 28. On a positive note, Dartmouth baseball for 2015 is over, but the Big Green continues to dominate the Red Rolfe division of the Ivies, winning for the eighth straight year. Our loyal supporters who cheered on as Dartmouth took four straight from the Harvards were former players Zack Boyages, “Buzz” Barton, Frank Logan, Steve Meterparel and Jim Churchill. These guys meet every year—same time, same place, same result. Reminder: Our fall class dinner is on October 10 during Homecoming Weekend in Hanover and the Penn football game. Details will be in the newsletter.
