Class Note 1946
Issue
Nov - Dec 2017
Who is willing to accept the Jack Hayward challenge? Jack and Ruth celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary June 20 with an entire family turnout of 35 coming to Skaneateles, New York, from diverse locations including Florida, Rhode Island, California, Washington and Hawaii. Four children, 10 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren attended. Jack suggests a contest among our classmates for the largest number of great-grandchildren to publish in our forthcoming class newsletter, to be mailed out in December. At the same time Jack has sent requests encouraging “achievements and boasts” and details on any traveling, classmate reunions or other experiences fit for publication in the newsletter. I have already been receiving Green Card responses from classmates that will appear in the newsletter.
I was delighted to hear from Stan Waterman, of whom I have vivid memories of his distance running feats during his freshman year at Dartmouth, where he was the first freshman to earn a varsity letter. Stan sent me a copy of his second book, Sea Salt II, published in 2015, which tells the fascinating story of Stan’s miraculous adventures as a diver beneath the sea in diverse locations around the world. His life-threatening experience with predatory sharks and eels is as amazing as it is terrifying. His achievements in opening up an understanding of life under the sea through motion picture photography and the creation of a repertoire of lecture films for television documentaries have earned him many honors, including induction into the International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame.
You will have already received your 2017-18 class dues letter requesting $50. I hope all will have remitted by this time.
Milton Cooper’s wife, Lilla, informed me of his memorial service, held July 25 with almost 300 in attendance and much reference to the Big Green. Their two sons and three grandchildren attended Dartmouth.
Our class extends its sympathy to the families of our recently deceased classmates. Benjamin Franklin Moates Jr. died May 17. He was the beloved husband of Millicent for 35 years and had a global career in marketing and corporate development and was the owner and operator of the Boca Grande Bridge in Florida. He attended our recent 70th reunion. Richard William Young died August 4. He was a member of the Navy V-12 unit at Dartmouth.
