Class Note 1946
Issue
Jan - Feb 2016
I am still thawing out from sitting in the Memorial Field stadium with Milt Cooper on a cold, raining night watching Dartmouth’s football team defeat Sacred Heart College during our mini-reunion September 26, while our less adventuresome (or more sensible) classmates kept dry as they watched the game on TV in the Hanover Inn. It was well worth it.
At our class meeting Jack Howard, class vice president, appointed a nominating committee to propose the election of class officers to the upcoming 70th reunion class meeting. Those appointed are Harvey White, Dave Chalmers and Frank Guarini.The attendees at the meeting voted to designate Tom Adams as president emeritus in consideration of his numerous contributions to the class, including as head agent, resulting in breaking record-setting contribution goals for many years. Tom will also receive a certificate of appreciation. Jack will now become the official class president and continue his responsibilities of carrying out plans for the 70th reunion. At Jack’s request, and his promise to stay healthy, I will serve as vice president up until the 70th reunion as well as continuing in my current role as class secretary.
Hank Parker walked in the Homecoming parade Friday night, October 9, wearing his 1946 jersey and holding our class banner high. Several 1942s rode in a jeep in front of him.
Norm Weissman’slatest (and fourth novel), The Prodigy, has been highly recommended by “Obie” Obermayer as “uniquely capturing the lives of Americans during the Great Depression.” Norm has also written a memoir, My Exuberant Journey, describing 50 years of filming, and is now working on another novel, The Patriots.
Our class sympathy to the families of the following deceased: Richard R. Hartman,who died March 8; John Chandler Donahue,who died March 12; James A. Crawford,who died September 6; Edwin Rudolf Johnson,who died September 17; and Aloise J. Lupa,who died September 27. Heartfelt condolences to Bob Levinson and family for the loss of Bob’s wife, Pat, September 8. She was a remarkable person who did wonderful philanthropic work for the community and Mount Sinai Hospital, where she served on the board of trustees.
Our 70th reunion scheduled for Friday, September 30, to Sunday, October 2, as guests of the College may be our last opportunity to gather together as a class.
