Class Note 1946
Issue
Sept - Oct 2016
We are on the way to a record-breaking attendance for our upcoming 70th reunion Friday, September 30, to Sunday, October 2. Our golden-plus years are not deterring us from returning to our beautiful campus full of memories of our own unique Dartmouth experience, despite World War II interruptions. What makes it even more special are the responses from widows and children of deceased classmates who want to honor their memory by attending the reunion. Out of an original class of 900, we now number about 180.
On registering at the Hanover Inn Friday, classmates will receive their green outerwear jacket and ladies a single-stem vase engraved for the occasion, thanks to the generosity of our classmate, Frank Guarini.
The reunion theme is the memorialization of our World War II classmates who died in combat. Their names will be on the program and read aloud during the memorial service scheduled for Sunday morning at the inn. About 18 to 20 died. A limited supply of CDs showing life at Dartmouth during the World War II years will be available.
Tee Adams, son of Tom Adams (president emeritus) and Emily, has been approved by the executive committee to be an honorary class member for the many valuable services he and the Adams family have rendered to the class throughout the years. (We have just been notified by Tee that his father died July 12. More to come in the next DAM.)
Just spoke to Rick Kelly, who still lives at the same address in Scarsdale, New York, and sounds as youthful as he did when he played George Appleby for the Dartmouth Players during Winter Carnival.
Norm Weissman’s fourth novel, The Prodigy, is available on Amazon and Kindle. His My Exuberant Voyage (memoir) was deemed one of the best books of 2015. Norm stays in touch with his former roommate Jack Helsell,who still runs his lumber mill on Orcas Island on Puget Sound, Washington.
Our sympathy to the families of our deceased classmates. Paul Montgomery Allen died November 2, 2014; Richard Armstrong Howe died July 20, 2015; Gerard D’Amore died October 13, 2015; William Carl Larsen died April 13; Herman Frank Werther died April 23 (his daughter wrote that he had hoped to attend the reunion); and Herman J. Obermeyer died in May (Obie had a distinguished writing career).
