Class Note 1944
Issue
Sept - Oct 2016
Wanna buy a bridge? (No, not the Brooklyn Bridge)—with the encouragement of those who relished the many presentations and anecdotes about his career in the lesser-known bridge industry, our classmate Peter Schaub created a 44-page documentary-style storybook of that title, including information and answers to questions he believes people might be afraid to ask. Schaub’s novel is described as “the fascinating story about the financing, building, buying and selling of privately owned toll bridges and the personalities who pioneered this unusual field.”
We have been notified of the following classmates’ deaths.
Donald Allen Campbell died on March 16. After graduating from Dartmouth he received his master’s in English and American literature from Harvard and his Ph.D. from Yale in American studies. Don spent most of his life teaching history and education as a professor at Dartmouth, Middlebury College, Bloomfield College and as dean of education at St. John’s University in Queens, New York. Don’s passion was to help improve inner-city education and he was most proud of his involvement in Head Start in the 1970s. He was an accomplished jazz musician, playing both saxophone and clarinet in the Daytona College Symphony and Daytona Beach Concert Band.
John Springsteed Jenness died on April 8. Jack’s Dartmouth years were interrupted by WW II; he enlisted at the age of 19, then continued to serve in the Air Force Reserve as a lieutenant colonel. His enlistment deferred his Dartmouth graduation until 1947. He worked on The Dartmouth Review and as a local news and sports correspondent for the Boston Herald and graduated from Tuck School in 1948. He remained active in Dartmouth activities, serving on the Alumni Council and as head of regional clubs and recruiting. In 1972 he was elected national president and adjunct assistant professor in business administration at Adelphi University. After retiring to New Hampshire in the 1980s, Jack was an adjunct instructor at UNH College for Lifelong Learning until 1997.
Allen Higgins Picard died on May 3; John Russell Blackburn Jr. died on April 4. Their obituaries appear online at dartmouthalumnimagazine.com. We send our condolences to the families.
