Class Note 1951
Issue
Nov - Dec 2015
Chuck Nadler (Chicago) retired from his 60-year medical practice this fall. He and Nancy will have full plates in retirement. Their interests include “everything outdoors,” especially canoeing and hunting; Chuck bagged six deer in the last two seasons using a bow and arrow. Geology and evolution are other strong interests. The Nadlers have traveled the world studying animal genetics and migration patterns, leading to 90 scholarly papers. Two of their children and a grandchild have attended Dartmouth.
Bob and Joan Hopkins are selling their long-time home in Darien, Connecticut, and will move to a retirement community down the road in Stamford. In packing up they unearthed some delightful reminiscences of his uncle, Ernest Martin Hopkins, Dartmouth’s 11th president. Included are reflections on his life, recorded and edited by our late classmate and Dartmouth librarian Ed Lathem. Looking back on his Dartmouth years, Dr. Hopkins described the College as “not simply an educational institution but also a religion and a family.” A highlight of my senior year, when I roomed with Bob, was an occasional breakfast with “Uncle Ernest” at his home on Rope Ferry Road in Hanover. It was fun to reconnect by phone with Al Katz (Warminster, Pennsylvania). He and Jean live in a retirement community not far from Reading, where they spent many years during his career as an executive in the rubber, banking and consulting businesses. Bridge remains a great source of pleasure. Al reports being in phone contact with his old roommate, Ed Weisenfeld.
We note with sadness the passing of five classmates. Julian “Geeb” Goldberg spent his whole life in Louisville, Kentucky, where he owned and operated a shoe company. Ned Hunt had a successful career as a personnel executive, general manager, entrepreneur and contributor to the communities in which he lived. Hugh Johnston was a long-time producer, cinematographer and editor of documentary films. Al Loehr made major contributions to Dartmouth in Florida, serving for 10 years as president of the local alumni club. Norman “Vic” Wagner left Dartmouth after two years, graduating from UCLA.
