Greetings, all. As noted in the last column, the first step of our cyber-odyssey is to convert the mailed newsletter to an Internet conversation (who says old guys can’t be au courant?). Mike Gonnerman says, “We will be holding quarterly conference calls to update classmates on class, Dartmouth and Hanover issues.” The first such meeting, which included online notes as well as audio, occurred November 15. If you did not get an invitation, confirm your current email address with Gonnerman at michael@gonnerman.com. While we’re on the subject of the cyberspace, web wizard Stu Keiller has set up a “Class of 1965 Store” on biggreen65.com. Run down the left column, select the store and you will find Land’s End more than willing to provide you with a variety of goods featuring the ’65 boot and beanie (surely the finest of class logos).

The October 5-8 mini-reunion was a great success. It kicked off earlier than usual with a Thursday morning micro-mini organized by Bob Murphy at Skinny Pancake in Hanover that included Murphy, Gonnerman, Pete Frederick, Mark Sheingorn, Bob McConnaughey, Larry Duffy and Jim Griffiths. Thursday night Keiller arranged for cocktails in the Class of 1965 Conference Room at the new Moosilauke Ravine Lodge, followed by dinner in the lodge. A number spent the night in the 1965 Cabin and an intrepid crew led by Dave Beattie and including Hank Amon, Sue and Dick Avery and Rich Beams climbed to the Mount Moosilauke summit on Friday morning. We expect to repeat the Moosilauke trip and climb in 2018. On Friday afternoon Jane and George Wittreich helped erect the 1964-1965 tent at the Sphinx. Debbie and Jim Griffiths hosted a cocktail party at their home, finishing with a singalong around a campfire. Saturday featured college Homecoming events in the morning. The traditional tailgate lunch at Sphinx with the 1964s was the prelude to football and Dartmouth’s exciting comeback victory over Yale. Cocktails at Pierce’s included toasts to Ed Keible with a fine cabernet from his Alpha Omega vineyard. Dinner with the 1964s followed, and was capped by songs from the always-astonishing Decibelles. The dinner included Jim Aiken and his niece, Hank Amon and daughter Carly ’17, Marcia and Ted Atkinson, Sally and Dick Avery, Mahala and Rich Beams and guests, Sue and Dave Beatty, Marianne and Don Bradley, Dianne and Tom Campbell, Larry Duffy, Linda and Steve Fowler, Marcia and Pete Frederick, Betsy and Mike Gonnerman and guests, Debbie and Jim Griffiths, Nancy and Roger Hansen, Diane and Stu Keiller, Brenda Ringwald and Jaan Lumi, French and Bob McConnaughey, Jory and Ken McGruther, Sue and Bill Webster, Jane and George Wittreich, as well as class scholars Madison Hazard ’20 and Amanda Nee ’21 and Dartmouth College Fund managing director Jennifer Hardy. We have word of the passing of Dan Corbett after a long illness. Dan was an active class officer, a decorated military officer and a regional club leader.

Last and not least, I need stories, folks. Let me know yours.
