I regret the need to report the death of Richard D. Hill. He gave so much of himself to the class and the College, serving as trustee from 1967 to 1970. The College lists countless offices and committees that he served well. Several of his children and grandchildren graduated from Dartmouth. He was a loyal ’41 to the end, contributing to this column. I am most grateful and will truly miss Dick Hill.

I am quoting now from a letter I received from Jeannie Lee ’99: “I am writing to you because I see you are a contact for the class of ’41 and I am trying to explore ways to give back to that class, whoever is still with us. I only regret that I have not written sooner. When I was a student at Dartmouth I received a scholarship from the class of ’41. The other day, I reflected on that support and I felt an immense sense of gratitude. I recall meeting various alumni at dinners and I had fond memories of my freshman year. Fast forward, I am currently living in N.Y.C. and sometimes visit Dartmouth. I wonder if there are any ’41 alumni I could visit in N.Y.C. or the Dartmouth area? I could bring a celebrity dog (my dog), which has been on TV several times. She does great when meeting seniors in assisted living and patients in hospitals. I basically want to provide some kind gesture to the member of ’41. I hope there are classmates locally or in Hanover so that I may introduce myself.”

Dum vivimus vivamus!
