Robert W. “Doc” Tirrell Jr. is more than eligible for due recognition. He was well prepared for his freshman year at Hanover, as he attended private schools in New England, New Jersey, and Germany. Like most of our class, Doc’s college attendance was interrupted by World War II. He served with the 3rd Marines in the Pacific and then returned to graduate in 1947. He received his D.D.S. from NYU in 1951 and had his practice of dentistry in New York City and New Jersey until retiring in 1991. He married Margaret “Peg” Morse in 1948, and they had children Scott, Barbara, and Gail plus five grandchildren. He became a fellow in the International College of Dentistry in 1965 and a master in 1967. Doc and Peg were avid and renowned devotees of round dancing and were given much praise and awards for having led groups in this form of square dancing all over the place. After retiring to Lower Waterford, Vermont, Doc was involved with both the ’45 monthly luncheons in Norwich, Vermont, and the mini-reunions near Quechee, Vermont. Doc also edited the ’45 newsletter and was co-chairman of the 60th class reunion in 2005.

Notice has been had of the loss of Thomas H. Lewis Jr. last April. Tim served the College and class on numerous reunion, special gifts, and alumni fund committees as well as class treasurer. His fraternity was Alpha Delta, and he was in Casque & Gauntlet. Our sympathy is extended to his three children.
