Our adopted classmate Roger Masters returned his Green Card with the following message. “I am pleased to bear witness to your open-mindedness and respect for others. It is worth remembering that one of the blessings of Dartmouth is the tradition of civility. The American society still needs the leadership of the members of the class of 1945 because you have perspective that is important for the younger generations of both alumni and students. Good health and happiness to you all.”

Just a reminder that Homecoming weekend is October 28-29. The Big Green football team will be hosting Harvard, which is always a thrilling matchup. The telemedicine robot will be roaming the sidelines. The robot is part of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Center of Telehealth and Dartmouth department of athletics remote concussion assessment pilot program and made a first appearance at Big Green’s home game last September 20.

It is with sadness that I report the following deaths and send our deepest sympathies to their families and friends.
