The Norwich Inn, September 11, 2012, was the venue for the Dartmouth class of 1945 mini-reunion. Present were Laura Caravatt, Carol Allen, Shirley Robinson, Craig Cain and wife Jocelyn, VP Harry Hampton, Richard “Bull” Hinman and wife Barbara, the Rev. Fred Berthold, Matthew Marshall, Bill Swartzbaugh and guest Joan Sepessy, president Vesta Smith and secretary Rosalie Cutter.


The brief business meeting was convened by president Vesta Smith at 1:22 p.m. Discussion concerning class dues was introduced by VP Harry Hampton. A motion to reduce our class dues from $35 to $20 was made by Rosalie Cutter and seconded by Laura Caravatt, and so moved.


VP Harry Hampton presented a framed etching of Dartmouth Hall to our adopted classmate Mathew Marshall III with thanks for his contribution to our class, present and past, when he was manager of the Hanover Inn. Matt has been a valuable addition to the class and we hope he will remain an active member.


A small note of interest—the Kendal Retirement Community in Hanover includes many Dartmouth alumni as residents. Presently our class is represented by Fred and Laura Berthold, Craig and Jocelyn Cain and several widows—Carol Allen, Shirley Robinson and Ruth Sisson.


On a personal note, yours truly has just had two knee replacements and would like to report that it is all in a day’s work. I’m doing so well that the medical staff isn’t sure where to send me next or what to do with me in respect my PT. If you are in need of this procedure don’t hesitate to have the replacements, keep healthy, active and hold on to a good attitude and you’ll do just fine.
