Class Note 1955
Issue
May - Jun 2017
After too long a hiatus, I had a good chat with Phil Reilly. He and Joan have lived in Osterville, Massachusetts, since 1986. Phil did his last general surgery in 2002, but he marches on and works with Massachusetts Medicaid doing quality evaluation. Their elder son is an ’87 and their younger son played lacrosse for Franklin & Marshall, went to the NCAA finals two out of four years and now plays lacrosse for Rolling Rock beer! Phil says his own golf handicap has risen from 12 to 15. He was last in Hanover for our 60th, accompanied by Bob Bagdasarian and John Stoughton. Recalling earlier college vignettes, he regularly attended a Saturday class for his elder brother, who liked to leave after Friday classes.
Joe Bachman’s wife, Francis, says that Joe is suffering from dementia. He had become a gastroenterologist when that was a new field. He is another Michigan kid who started out in Hanover. Their children typified the “’round the girdled earth” verse. Joseph is a forester in New Zealand, daughter Mary is in public health in Hanoi and daughter Sharon is a nurse practitioner in Seattle. Joe, who didn’t ski much in Hanover, started cross-country skiing at 50 and skied the American Birkensteinen, a 50-kilometer race from Hayward to Cable, Wisconsin.
Dave Miller reports that he and Betsey visited their younger son, Jim, a U.S. Special Forces officer in Germany, and toured Normandy. Their older son, Charles, with NASA, has spent the last five years flying about Alaska gathering data on greenhouse gases. Their daughter, Sarah, is a nurse practitioner. Dave himself was a volunteer emergency medical technician for 16 years in Wayne, New Jersey, and Troutman, North Carolina.
Noting that we did not have the New York mini, I might suggest the Ravine Lodge at Mount Moosilauke. As with the College Grant, those who have been would like returning and those who have not will revel. Reminder: Please support by June 30 the efforts of Eliot Smith and his team on behalf of the Dartmouth College Fund.
Sadly, we report the passing of Nathan P. Doty.
