Class Note 1946
Issue
May - Jun 2018
I sadly must announce the devastating news of the death of our beloved class president Jack Howard, who died January 14. I can only repeat the tribute I paid to Jack at our 70th class reunion meeting in the fall of 2016: “Not enough can be said for the way and gracious manner that Jack as then vice president stepped in when Tom Adams was unable to perform his presidential duties following our 65th reunion in 2011. In order to allow Tom the dignity of retaining his title of president, Jack quietly took over the function of the presidency under his vice presidency title. I was astounded by the endless number of emails sent by Jack to the alumni office, the executive committee, class members, widows and myself.” In spite of a stroke last year, Jack continued his role as president until another stroke and complications ended his life. During a call to his wife, Ruth, expressing our class sympathy, she informed me that a memorial service was to be held in Skaneateles, New York, on April 14. She plans to move this fall to Florida to be with one of her daughters.
Our class sympathies extend equally to the families of all our deceased classmates, including David Lester Warren, M.D., who died January 10. He was in the Navy V-12 program and a member of Sigma Nu at Dartmouth, and served in the U.S. Navy. He was a board-certified physician in internal medicine and cardiology and was in private practice in Manchester, Connecticut, for 20 years.
Willard Hasting Wheeler died January 22. He received his degree from Clark University after 15 years of attending night school, preceded by a year at Dartmouth that was interrupted by Army service. He served as Berlin, Massachusetts, town clerk and justice of the peace, performing more than 1,000 weddings mostly in the front parlor of his home.
Norm Weissman continues his active literary career with his fifth publication, The Patriot, which has received excellent reviews and is now archived at the Yale Collection of American Literature at the Beinecke Library. He and his wife, Eveline, have moved to Center Community in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Our class will continue as strong as ever, supported by all of you loyal classmates, widows, families, friends and our executive committee, consisting of chairman Harvey White, Frank J. Guarini, Dave Chalmers, Saul W. Nirenberg and Bob A. Levinson.
