Class Note 1946
Issue
Jul - Aug 2018
Just received notice from the Yale Film Studies Center regarding a film review titled An Evening with Norman Weissman, presented at Yale February 28. Norman wrote, directed, and produced hundreds of works for films and television during a 42-year career. He is still writing. Looks as if those Robert Frost seminars have paid off.
The following is a tribute, compiled by our recently deceased president Jack Howard, to our outstanding class athletes who played on record-setting teams.
Bill Riley was an outstanding hockey forward who played with the most famous attacking line in the College’s history: Harrison, Rondeau, and Riley. The hockey team won 36 victories without a tie or defeat during their tenure.
Chip Coleman was one of the best basketball guards to play for the Big Green. As a freshman he broke into the lineup on the Dartmouth team that went to the NCAA finals the year before. He captained the 1946-47 and 1947-48 teams after service in WW II.
Chuck Bodley was the best all-around athlete, having lettered multiple times in hockey, football, and lacrosse.
The class of 1946 had three captains on three different varsity football teams: Carl McKinnion, co-captain 1945; Jud Hannigan, 1947; and Dale Armstrong, 1948.
Our class sympathy to the family of Robert Clifton, M.D., who died February 23. Bob practiced urology for 32 years in Haverhill, Massachusetts. I have warm memories of conversing with Bob during our recent reunions, including our tailgate football game picnics. He was a member of the Navy V-12.
I spoke to Lila Cooper, who was about to leave for Milton Cooper’s gravesite memorial in Vermont, where they had a vacation home. Milton died one year ago, April 29, 2017.
I spoke to Ruth Howard, who just had a memorial service on April 14 for Jack following his death on January 14. Ruth will move to Florida this fall with one of her daughters.
My brother, Al Wolff ’38, died just before his 101st birthday at his Foulkeways Senior Living Community in Pennsylvania, surrounded by a loving family and residents of the home. Your class secretary, John L.E. Wolff, will celebrate his May 1 birthday by undergoing a surgical procedure the following day, with a short hospital stay, allowing me to continue my normally active life.
—John L.E. Wolff, M.D., 860 Knollwood Road, White Plains, NY 10603; (212) 772-1700; (212) 772-9933 (fax); jlewolffmd@aol.com
