Class Note 1948
Issue
May - Jun 2017
Glen Peck came to Dartmouth with most of our class the summer of 1944, then joined the U.S. Marine Corps and returned after his discharge. He completed his bachelor’s at Northeastern University, where he also earned his law degree at night school and passed the Massachusetts Bar. Glen said he had a long and satisfying career as a teacher, lawyer and real estate broker before retiring in 1995. He keeps busy with his family and large lawn and house and said he was buried under leaves when we chatted last fall. He and Maureen have two boys and two girls with a substantial generational involvement with Dartmouth. One of his sons graduated from Dartmouth and the other went to Tuck School after graduating from Princeton. One daughter worked at the College for some time as a director of alumni research. Glen has fond memories of the people he knew at Dartmouth and would like to stay in touch with the class.
Dick Dahl has been a stalwart member of our executive committee, written our newsletter for many years and been our designated photographer at class reunions. Unfortunately, we missed him in 2015 because of an automobile accident and last year because he took a bad fall and broke his sacrum. When I spoke with him recently, he sounded vigorous and said he was feeling perfectly fine with no pains. Dorothy has some painful neck problems and the trip to Dartmouth is a stretch for them now. Dick said they are looking at three retirement homes in the Princeton, New Jersey, area and expect to make a choice shortly.
We all were so sorry when Bud Munson’s wife, Barbara, passed away last fall. Her hospitality running a bed and breakfast with Bud for some years and hosting our class at their lovely farm was a treat we won’t forget. Fortunately, Bud is a good cook and so enjoys the farm that at this writing he’s postponing moving to a retirement home. More power to him.
