We promised a report on the 70th reunion. It was a great weekend, the weather was perfect. We had about 42, and we missed each and every one of you who were not able to be there. We had 12 classmates, nine widows, five spouses and 13 children or very dear friends. Apologies for our typo in previous column, where we said the class of 1939 re-uned with 1942 and 1947. It was in fact the class of 1937. We did not try to jitterbug the way we did in 1942—however, the spirit was just as energetic!


The newly renovated Hanover Inn was quite a surprise to all of us. All of you need to see it and can do just that and take in the cultural activities that surround Hanover and Dartmouth College. The 70th reunion took us to the Hood Museum, a true treasure on the campus.


Former President Wright gave an excellent talk on his book Those Who Have Borne the Battle, and it tied in very well with our book, Dartmouth at War. We highly recommend the book, if you have not read it. We were entertained by the Dartmouth Aires and Huntly Allison and other alumni joined them. Yes, at 90 some of us can still sing. In general a good time was had by all. The next reunion is our 75th. Mark your calendars.


Once again we ask each of you to please send us your news—this column depends on you; we cannot make it up. So help us fill this column.
