Class Note 1961
Issue
Sep - Oct 2017
After several months of effort the 60th reunion class project selection committee, co-chaired by Pete Bleyler, Oscar Arslanian and Vic Rich, agreed on a two-part, long-term class project that will be funded by contributions coming from the class treasury (50 percent) and from classmates (50 percent) during the next four years. It is anticipated that the two projects will become fully funded by our 60th reunion in 2021. Project No. 1 will be called “The Class of 1961 Robert Frost Literature Award,” which will be awarded annually to a student who comes up with the best proposed literature project on any subject related to Robert Frost or the Robert Frost statue at Dartmouth. Project No. 2 will be called “The Class of 1961 Arts Initiative Award,” which will be awarded annually to a student who comes up with the best proposed project in any form of the studio arts or visual arts. The class officers present unanimously approved the two projects during the committee’s monthly conference call in June; and they anticipate presenting the two projects to classmates during the class mini-reunion in October.
By the end of June the Tanzi License Plate Plaque will have been transferred from Larry Levy to Gerry Kaminsky, the second classmate on the list of 55th reunion raffle winners to receive and display the plaque for one year.
During the Alumni Council meeting in October Art Kelton will be presented with the Dartmouth Alumni Award, the College’s highest award for outstanding alumni service to the College, the class and the community. Art is only the sixth person from our class to receive this award.
Try to attend our class mini-reunion from October 6-8, which this year happens to coincide with Homecoming Weekend. Maynard Wheeler, co-chair of class mini-reunions, has planned a great event-filled weekend for all to enjoy. If any questions, email Maynard at mbwheeler61@alum.dartmouth.org or call him at (404) 217-1089.
In closing, I offer you the following organizational advice from a cartoon by J. Wagner: “I [now] find it helps to organize chores into categories: things I won’t do now; things I won’t do later; and things I’ll never do.”
