Class Note 1961
Issue
Mar - Apr 2017
I only recently discovered that John Zabriski (deceased) and Mike Steinberg (deceased) funded the John L. Zabriski Jr. ’61 Senior Chemistry Prize and the Michael Steinberg ’61 Rabbi of Dartmouth Hillel Chair, respectively. I only wish that our class could thank them personally.
John White, still actively working as a literary agent, wrote that last fall he and his wife, Barbara, scheduled a dinner in Williamstown, Massachusetts, with Dick Sax,John’s former roommate at Dartmouth during their freshman and sophomore years, and Dick’s wife, Janed. Both couples were touring New England for fall foliage and had not seen each other since our 50th reunion.
John was also instrumental in getting town and state officials to designate the section of Route 10 running through Cheshire, Connecticut, as the Medal of Honor Highwayin honor of two American servicemen, both residents of the small town of Cheshire, who had been awarded the U.S. Medal of Honor. After diligent research, John believes that this is the only small town in America with two former Medal of Honor recipients.
Oscar Arslanian and his spouse (and business partner), Nyla, recently were co-sponsors along with several other individuals of an event in Hollywood, California, to educate consumers and businesses about protecting their digital lives. Now can they educate me?
Ron Wybranowski had the honor of having one of his prints recently accepted into the juried exhibit for artists from the Copley Society of Art. The exhibit was on display in January at the Charles Fine Arts Gallery in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
Note that the September/October issue of the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine referred to the successful ’61 Robert Frost statue art contest held last year as one of the 12 items of news in the section titled “Campus Confidential.” Slowly but persistently the momentum builds for the Robert Frost statue at Dartmouth.
Our class is holding its very first virtual reunion on March 2, the 61st day of the year. Sign in and sign on with your classmates. For directions, contact Harris McKee, who is most familiar with the process.
In closing, I leave you with the following unattributed quote: “If today is the worst day of your life, then you know that tomorrow will be better.”
