Class Note 1965
Issue
Jul - Aug 2017
Greetings, ’65ers. This edition brings news of doings far and wide.
Heinz Kluetmeier is the first-ever photographer to be inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame. If you’ve read a Sports Illustrated, you’ve probably seen his pictures, astounding in visual effect as well as the technology and concentration of capturing them. Just google him.
Rick Tabors writes that he is co-head of a project called the Utility of the Future in the MIT Energy Initiative and running a small economics and engineering consulting group focused on electricity and natural gas. He answered my “Why I love Dartmouth” question of a couple of months ago, saying, “I recognize that it was the Dartmouth education (mostly in science) that taught me to think logically and critically.” Rick was awarded an honorary doctor of science in engineering by the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, for “leading the effort to restructure the international electric power industry.” He says the encomium is overstated, which gives him snaps for humility, but probably not accuracy.
Steve Waterhouse writes that a small but robust 1965 group gathered in Vail, Colorado, for our 18th annual class of 1965 Vail mini. Leading the group was class president Mike Gonnerman with Diane and Tom Campbell plus Steve and Linda Waterhouse, and messages from some other regulars that medical repairs, ski injuries and plain old work interfered with their plans for this year. Upwards of one hundred Dartmouth alumni and friends attended the annual Vail club winter cocktail party at the Sonnenalp Hotel, kicking off a weekend of seminars, parties and skiing. The main seminar was on ski safety and included Carly Amon ’17, the captain of the Dartmouth Skiway ski patrol and Hank Amon’s daughter. All in all, the 18th 1965 Vail mini was another great success. CarniVail started in 2000 and led to the formation of the Dartmouth Club of Vail. The three-day gathering has seen well more than 2,000 attendees during the history of the event, including alumni from Europe and Asia. It has been referred to as Dartmouth’s largest annual multi-day alumni gathering outside of Hanover. Waterhouse gives credit to the class of 1965 for initiating the event, but it was he who initiated it.
Since last writing we have lost two classmates, Max Koslow and Ed Keible. Obits will follow at the class website. Howard Mueller reports that a highlight of the Dartmouth Silicon Valley (and Bay Area) wine extravaganza extraordinaire in April was the fine “Fast Eddie” Cabernet, which was poured and appreciated in Ed’s memory. Keible was part of two wineries, Alpha Omega (bet that came from Alpha Omega Beta!) and AXR.
Finally, you will receive this just before the end of Dartmouth’s fiscal year. If you haven’t made your annual gift, put down the magazine and take out your checkbook. And, while you have pen in hand or keyboard at the ready, fire off a note to me. The richness of the column depends on your wildly various, always interesting lives.
