The sight of a class being held on the Green, shorts and flip flops the standard student attire and the vision of activities taking place on the Connecticut are the joys of summer in Hanover.

We were saddened to receive news of the death of Douglas A. Donahue February 12, and send our condolences to the family. He leaves his devoted wife of 69 years, Dorothy; five children, including Douglas ’73; 15 grandchildren, including Aidan ’04 and Abigail ’06; as well as two great-granddaughters. Doug was an avid sailor, accomplished equestrian and a lifelong swimmer. He and his wife enjoyed cherished years on their sailboat, Aegis, and at their family cottage on Panther Pond in Maine. He served in the U.S. Marine V-12 program and saw duty in the Pacific. He spent a career in the wool business and operated the firm Donahue-Draper Corp. for many years. Doug was a member of Beta Theta Pi and served the College and his class as an Alumni Fund volunteer, class agent (1964-69), fraternity-sorority agent (1991-2002), and admissions interviewer (2002).
