Class Note 1965
Issue
Mar - Apr 2017
The fall mini-reunion was held October 28-30 in Hanover. On Friday we poured into Linda and Steve Fowler’s home for a reception. Saturday morning included an excellent (and packed) back-to-class panel discussion of the then-upcoming election. After a tent lunch the weather turned cool and rainy for the Harvard game. In the evening we gathered in front of the fireplace at Pierce’s and (warmer and drier) watched the 1964 Harvard game (Dartmouth 48, Harvard 0) as narrated by QB Bruce Gottshall and teammates Bob McConnaughy, Jaan Lumi and Pete Frederick. Dinner at Pierce’s included Karen Kolodny and Hank Amon, Marianne and Don Bradley, Dianne and Tom Campbell, Marcia and Pete Frederick, Elizabeth and Mike Gonnerman, Susan and Bruce Gottschall, Nancy and Roger Hanson, Susan and Tom Long, Brenda Ringwald and Jaan Lumi, French and Bob McConnaughey, Mark Nackman, Beverly and John Rogers, Linda and Steve Waterhouse, Jane and George Wittreich. Carly Amon, ’17 joined us for dinner, as did 1965 scholars Madison Hazard ’20 and Jessica Tong ’17.After dinner, we were serenaded by the oh-so-talented Decibelles.
Donaldo Duca Hart responded to what he called my “moving appeal” for news from ’65s (are you listening, classmates? Please!) and said he’d throw in “a couple tidbits.” After nearly 30 years in overseas development assistance via USAID and the World Bank, he is retiring, possibly to Mexico (San Miguel, Ajijic), maybe after a sojourn in Grasse, near Nice, or Greece for a while. Phew! “Tough to leave my older daughter and her 5-month-old son,” he says, as well as his younger daughter, who is expecting her first baby in two weeks. That will make six grandkids from five offspring. “While in San Miguel Allende for three days, by chance or good karma I ran into my great friend, classmate and Alpha Theta brother Phil Edgerton and his wonderful wife, Gail. It was the happiest moment of a good trip.”
Upcoming events include CarniVail. “We welcome all ’65s to come join our group both on the slopes and at the CV events throughout the weekend,” says Steve Waterhouse. This year CarniVail will celebrate the more than 700 alumni who have served as ski patrollers or ski instructors while at Dartmouth or in later life. “We are working to bring in ski team members and Olympic and NCAA ski stars of the 1990s to party together over the weekend,” Steve notes.
Normandy Trip: Tom Long confirmed that the trip is on for June 12 -21. A complete brochure is available from the alumni travel office (603-646-9159) or by email from Tom at tomlong@gwu.edu. In 2016, 28 of us made the trip. It was the high point of the year for Beverly and me, and I know for many others. Recent pictures from Dave Bush reminded us of the good times.
Finally, we have learned of the passing of Hal Quadres in August. Hal was a math major at Dartmouth and a well-loved professor at Whittier Law School. An obituary will appear on the ’65 website.
