Class Note 1942
Issue
Jul - Aug 2016
First, a word about the weather. We are finally out of the winter chill and when you read this you will be looking to your Fourth of July celebrations.
A reminder for those of you who have not already given—there are five days left before June 30, the end of the fiscal year for the Dartmouth College Fund. Size does not matter, participation does. And a hearty thank you for those of you who have already given!
To all of you who have enjoyed the class newsletter written since 2006 by Carolmae Encherman (Bob’s widow), her children sent the following to share with you.
“We are sad to report that Carolmae passed away on April 16. Carolmae served as our newsletter editor since 2006 and enjoyed it tremendously. She had many passions that she continued until her death at 91. She began most mornings completing The New York Times crossword puzzle, usually in about an hour. She loved crosswords so much that she taught a class twice at ILEAD and ran a crossword activity every week at Kendal at Hanover. Although she stopped playing tennis two years ago, she was the highest scoring resident in the weekly Wii tennis game, reaching ‘pro’ status last year. And she continued with her weekly ping-pong game until a few months before her death. Whether she was doing yoga, reading Shakespeare or delivering Meals on Wheels, Carolmae lived life to the fullest. She will be sorely missed.”
Carolmae worked tirelessly for the class. Some of the wives of ’42s feel as if we all had gone to Dartmouth. Let’s give her a posthumous rouse.
In our next column we hope to tell you a little bit about the six new house communities to be unveiled this fall providing home base for all Dartmouth undergraduates. “This is a great step forward for Dartmouth,” says Dean of the College Rebecca Biron.
We have the sad duty to report the loss of Richard H. Hempstead, M.D., and Paul Uhlman Jr. Paul was one of the supporters of Dartmouth at War and wrote a memoir, Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition.
