We used to call it Dartmouth Night, but now the big fall weekend in Hanover is called Homecoming, just like good old State U. However, this year Homecoming on October 10 was right on the money for our class. The football team’s blowout of Yale was great, but our class rededication of Bartlett Tower and our dinner on Saturday night were even better. As is well known to the class, we underwrote the renovation of Bartlett Tower, and the Saturday morning event in honor of the family in general and our classmate, the late John Bartlett, in particular, was well attended. John’s wife, Jeanne, and her children, Stewart, Lindsay, Shelly and Peter, flew in from the West Coast, as did Shelly’s daughter, Taylor. Featured speakers included President Phil Hanlon and alumni relations vice president Martha Beattie, along with our class president, Alden Fiertz, and planned giving emeritus chair Frank Logan. Tours of the tower for attendees followed the ribbon cutting. That evening, following the game, we gathered for a fine dinner and much reminiscing at the Coolidge Hotel. In addition to the Bartlett family, a number of classmates came from a distance, including Al and Sue Bond (Georgia), Dorn McGrath and Ann Brainerd (D.C.), Gordy and Nancy Kay (Virginia), Terry Malone (Michigan), Jim and Sally Toffey (Maine), Vic Trautwein (Rhode Island), Doc and Phoebe Dey (southern New Hampshire), Steve and Cecily Parkhurst (Boston) and John and Anne McDonald (upper New York). Local regulars included Frank and Drewry Logan, John and Judy North, Bill and Judy Breed, Joan Kinne, Bill and Maggie Montgomery, Alden and Mary Fiertz, Liz Russell, Dan and Julie Van Dorn, Hank Waters and Ann Merrick, Alden and Ruth Guild, Jack and Jane Unkles and Charlie Curtis. We were also honored that John and Kay McCrillis brought three members of their family to the dinner. Finally, special recognition to David Squires, son of Quent Squires, is in order. Last issue of this magazine we reported that Quent was fine. Sadly, Quent passed away just two weeks before our fall event, and David joined us from Florida in honor of his father.
