Class Note 1946
Issue
Sept - Oct 2015
A well-thought-out program is now in place for our first Homecoming mini-reunion weekend with Sacred Heart College Friday and Saturday, September 25-26. We will start with a cocktail reception in the Drake Room at the Hanover Inn at 6 p.m., followed by a buffet dinner from 7 to 8 p.m. The cash bar will be open from 6 to 9 p.m. Our class has been invited by Jennifer Casey, alumni class activities director, to watch the bonfire from the inn porch that evening. We hope Hank Parker will don his original 1946 class jersey, which still fits, and continue to lead the parade while carrying the 1946 class banner. Jennifer also invited us to attend the 1769 Society reception offered by the Dartmouth College Fund. We hope this event can be packaged in when we learn more about the place and time.
Saturday, September 26, is our class meeting at Dartmouth Hall in Room 102 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., followed by a noon luncheon at the Hanover Inn.
A Saturday cocktail hour is scheduled for 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the Drake Room, followed by a sit-down dinner with wine from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in order to accommodate those choosing to go to the game, which starts at 7 p.m. We hope we will be shuttled to and from the game. A speaker from the College has been invited to the dinner and will update us on the Moving Dartmouth Forward initiative.
Sadly, our ranks have been further diminished with the loss of seven more of our “greatest generation classmates,” whose college educations were interrupted while they served in World War II. There were 200 living classmates this past fall. We can only hope that the rest of us, who are able, will find a way to attend the upcoming mini and our 70th full reunion next year at the expense of the College.
Our sympathies to the families of deceased classmates William R. Schillhammer Jr. April 3, Donald H. Johnson April 14, Donald B. Fitzsimmons April 20, Robert Alfred Grady April 24, William Hart Jr. May 16, Henry F. Durham May 21 and Craig D. Bedle May 27.
