Class Note 1942
Issue
May - June 2016
So where are those great moments that stand out from your years at Dartmouth? I told you mine.
Somehow the weather has provided something to cheer or complain about since Christmas. A bunch of extremes, such as today near 60 degrees and recently -1. It should not be hard to convince the global warming naysayers.
We can count on Bob Gale and Chuck Herberger to give us news in one form or another.
For Chuck Herberger, youngest member of our class celebrating his “24th” leap birthday. He was born on February 29, 1920. We wish him a wonderful day!
Bob Gale writes that he is planning to work on the narrative poetry of Robinson Jeffers. Robinson Jeffers was so important that Time magazine featured him in a cover essay and the U.S. postal service issued a commemorative stamp on Jeffers. Stand by for Bob Gale’s book on him.
I know we mentioned the dedication of the new stadium in November and the plaque honoring those who served. Our class made a contribution to that plaque and the up-and-coming newsletter will provide a nice photo of the plaque showing each class year, including the class of 1942. It’s something about which to be proud.
If you want a longer column with more news you are going to have to send us your news. I understand that I am not allowed to make up stories. So help me out for the next column!
The class of 42 sends it condolences to the family of William Winternitz.
