Class Note 1963
Issue
Nov - Dec 2017
Drawing big interest from ’63s is Dartmouth vs. Brown, Friday night, November 10, at Boston’s Fenway Park. Dave Schaefer and Chuck Wessendorf, owner of a herculean streak of Dartmouth games attended, expect to be on the Brown 50-yard line, where they say viewing is better. You may be able to join them by calling the Red Sox ticket office at (877) 733-7699, and pressing one on prompt.
Otherwise save it for our 55th reunion in Hanover June 11-14 with a special extension June 15-16 at the Lake Morey Resort in Fairlee, Vermont. The class room block at the Hanover Inn may still have room and you also can try the Element Hanover Lebanon and Lyme Inn. Accommodations are available at local motels and dorms. For June 11-14 in Hanover reunion chair Ed Mazer lined up a Motown band, a cabaret evening hosted by Paul Binder, Gordy and Susan Weir speaking on latest diabetes research, Petie Subin and Claire Cabot with a special program for women and Dr. Sam Smith ’58 rendering his advice on “Sex and Aging.” Meet President Hanlon and tour new campus buildings. At Lake Morey June 15-16 enjoy an old-fashioned New England clam bake, Texas barbecue, boating, swimming and hiking. Keep an eye on our class website and email.
Mini-reunion last spring in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, included Roy and Betty Benson, Bill and Carol Hindle, Ed and Charlene Mazer, Howard Nannen, Ralph and Nancy Sanders, Hank Smith, Mike and Jeanne Prince, and Bob Silverman and Barbara Berlin.
Twenty classmates, spouses and friends attended our Tanglewood mini in Massachusetts featuring sumptuous dinners and a cocktail reception hosted by Sam and Deamie Cabot. Other ’63s on hand were Chuck Wessendorf, Tom Berardino, Jeff Nothnagle, Bill Russell, Paul Binder, Steve Rosen, Steve Kurland, Barry Linsky and Pete Suttmeier. Boston Symphony, Boston Pops and Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra performed.
Jack Watts, retired director of the New York Fire Safety Institute, now living in Middlebury, Vermont, agreed with the consensus in last issue’s column that the Dartmouth Bible “was required reading in the first-year English course. Some 40 years later I used it as a reference in preparing prefatory remarks for reading scripture at our local church,” remarked Jack.
Addicted to Reform: A 12-Step Program to Rescue Public Education by John Merrow is in bookstores and on Amazon. (See a review on page 64.) Earlier John upheld the tradition of biking his age on his birthday, going 76 miles at 12.4 miles per hour with his daughter, Elise. Mike and Jeanne Prince upheld their own tradition of biking 25 miles to raise money for cancer research at Dartmouth’s Norris Cotton Cancer Center. Steve Nazro was subject of an article in The Boston Globe on the occasion of his retirement as vice president of event scheduling at TD Garden, successor to the Boston Garden, where he began his productive 50-year career.
I regret to report the deaths of Chuck Applegate February 13 and Bobby Wilson May 15, reported in the class of ’63 newsletter.
