Class Note 1945

Issue

Sept - Oct 2015

Since this will be my last Class Notes, I would like to thank you for being so patient with my lack of writing skills, we now move on!

Lest you forget—our 70th reunion will be held Friday, September 25 to 27, at the Hanover Inn. You will be the guests of the College with all fees paid for by Dartmouth; this may well be our last reunion, so please plan to attend. We are in hopes of welcoming many widows for this affair—mark your calendars!

The Hon. Joseph E. Young died on March 14 from a fall he had taken two weeks earlier. Joe was a dedicated member of the class of ’45 and served on the Alumni Council (1976-79), as class officer and on the executive committee (1991-2015), club officer and club president (1955-79), on the reunion committee (1991) and as president of the Association of Alumni (1987). Joe presided over the 1974 corruption trial of Baltimore County executive Dale Anderson. “He was an exceptionally fine judge,” said former Maryland attorney general Stephen H. Sachs. “When Judge Young imposed a five-year prison sentence a Baltimore Sun article said it was ‘the stiffest sentence anyone can recall’ and that it ‘sent shockwaves through the corruption hierarchy in Maryland.’ Mr. Anderson ultimately served a little over a year and was later elected to serve in the general assembly.” All who knew him will miss Joe, and we offer our condolences to the family.

Maurice “Moe” Frye died November 13, 2014. He leaves his wife, Jane, and a daughter. Moe was a contributor to the class having served on many committees. He was a member of Bones Gate/Delta Tau Delta, Green Key Society, Marching Band. He served as reunion committee chair (1975-2014), class officer (1945-97, including as class president, 1995-2000), national research development program screener (1989-90), reunion committee member (2000-14) and Alumni Fund volunteer and telethon chair (1988-2002).

Theodore Safford, M.D., passed on January 27 after a brief illness. He leaves his wife of many years, Jean, and four children. Ted was involved as the Alumni Fund head agent (1997-2015) and leadership agent (1992-2001), reunion giving committee member (1991) and class president (2005-10). His leadership skills will be missed by class members and all who worked with him.
