Class Note 1952
Issue
May - Jun 2019
While the College in 2019 continues to celebrate 250 years of providing an excellent education, we, in our late 80s, continue to celebrate being able to report our small part in the history of Dartmouth. It is interesting how we move about at this stage in our lives. For example, we have recently heard from Lyle Spalding, a longtime General Electric veteran based in Louisville, Kentucky, who has moved to Ames, Iowa, where his son, David Spalding ’76, lives. Another example is Bob Ringstad, a lifer from northern New Jersey who has moved to Chelmsford, Massachusetts, to be near one of his sons. We also received a note from Donald Richardson, M.D., telling us he has moved from his home in North Carolina to a retirement community in Napa, California, near two daughters. All three classmates send positive comments about their moves.
David Adler, M.D., has also written that he and his wife, Gloria, are now living fulltime in Boynton Beach, Florida. They had been splitting their time between Florida and Cape Cod, Massachusetts, for some 22 years after he retired from practice in New Jersey. On the other hand, Ross Daniels and his wife, Fayne, for many years have been dividing their time between Siesta Key, Florida, and Pawling, New York, their home forever. They have given that up and Pawling wins. In the January 2019 issue of this publication we asked if anyone remembered being at the Dartmouth-Princeton game in the hurricane of 1950. Jack Foster, writing from his home in Burr Ridge, Illinois, not only remembers, he provided us with details from a player’s perspective. The fascinating recap is in our class newsletter. Frank Logan, class president, and your class secretary recently had an opportunity to visit with Jay Anderson and have lunch with Charlie Curtis here in the Upper Valley. Both are doing well.
We regret to report the passing of several classmates, William “Tony” Quimby, Robert C. Thomas, M.D., Paul W. Kerr Jr., Henry D. Waters, Glendon “Don” Campbell, Roland Barker Jr., and Alfred W. Acker Jr.
