Class Note 1942
Issue
Jul - Aug 2017
The weather has warmed up and real spring is in the air and yours truly is recovering from knee replacement.
This year 2019 is the 250th anniversary of the founding of Dartmouth and in celebration of that year, on November 9, 2019, Dartmouth will play Princeton at Yankee Stadium. Who’d have thought?
Some of you may have read about Abbey D’Agostino ’14 and her heroic gesture during a qualifying heat in the 2016 Olympics, when a New Zealander clipped D’Agostino, causing both of them to fall. Abbey helped her running mate to her feet and encouraged her to complete the race. Abbey, having torn both her meniscus and ACL in the fall, managed to finish the race. She received worldwide praise for exhibiting what the meaning of Olympic and American spirit is all about—and what the Dartmouth spirit is all about.
In February there was an effort to try to make Hanover a sanctuary city after President Trump came out with his executive order restricting immigration. This order is and was a concern since so many students are immigrants. It received positive attention but was inconclusive. One point made was that the police do not ask for citizenship information when they are called in to investigate something.
I need to hear from you to report your news here, so please help me out.
The class just received the mailing for the 75th reunion with a copy of the agenda and it looks like an excellent two days. We encourage as many of you as can to return to the campus.
When you receive this issue, you have a few days left to contribute to the Dartmouth College Fund—the amount is not as important as your participation.
I have the sad duty to report the loss of Richard Remsen, Ed Chalfant and Murray Latz. The class of ’42 offers its condolences to their families. Look for more details in our next class newsletter.
