Class Note 1965
Issue
Nov - Dec 2018
Ahhh, summer. Vacations, family fun, vicarious pleasures as grandkids do all the things good, bad, and hilarious we were prone to do back when. So, brace yourselves, lads. Mini’s coming up October 11-14, about the time this mag hits your mailbox. It’s a chance to climb (a bit of) Moosilauke, raise a glass at Debbie and Jim Griffiths’ Friday reception, watch the Green compete against Sacred Heart, navigate the steam tunnel, and hang with classmates.
The July quarterly executive teleconference was held at Bill Webster’s home. Mike Gonnerman, Hank Amon, Carl Boe, Jim Griffiths, Mike Orr,and Webster attended in person; Dave Beattie, Don Bradley, Rick Davies, Dick Durrance, Steve Fowler, Dick Harris, Gary Herbst, Stu Keiller, John Rogers, Joel Sternman, and Bruce Wagner attended by phone. Gonnerman’s slides (at www.biggreen65.com) tell the story of an active past year and promise many events to come.
Roger Hansen attended the Alumni Council’s May meeting as our class representative. He reported that the meeting focused on the Call to Lead campaign’s three objectives: advance our distinctive educational model to become the unparalleled leader in liberal arts education, make big bets on discovery to improve the human condition, and prepare students for lives of leadership. All of us can join the conversation at #DartmouthLeads.
Ward Hindman writes, “After a career in aerospace (Air Force and corporate) I retired summer before last. In April Norma and I took a trip through European riverways hosted by the Dartmouth alumni travel office. We flew to Amsterdam, where we took guided walking and boating trips around the city. I took lots of pictures of canals and buildings built 500 years or more ago. The featured lecturer was John Stomberg, director of the Hood Museum. He was a fun guy and gave some really informative talks. We had dinner several times with Fred Glickman ’68 and his wife, Margery. We also got to know Mitch Zeller ’79 and his wife, Paula. He and I had a great connection through the Glee Club directed by Paul Zeller (no relation). By the end of the tour we had history coming out of our ears and a camera full of pictures.” The food was five-star, he adds, and “I managed to gain less than 10 pounds by leaving a lot on my plate, which was hard to do.”
Keiller has added the class of 1965’s memorial books program list to the “In Memoriam” section of www.biggreen65.com. The program donates books to Baker Library in the name of deceased classmates, choosing Native American subjects when possible.
I received the annual class list the other day: 738 names; 437 emails. Today, as Gonnerman and Keiller lead the class in using technology, that email address is important. Find details on accessing and editing your alumni profile, as well as looking up classmates, at www.alumni.dartmouth.edu/connect/find-alumni.
Finally, we received notice of the passing of Brian Walsh, who returned to Hanover in the mid-70s and became an important leader in Hanover, and of Tod Seel in September in Savannah, Georgia.
