Class Note 1954

Issue

May - Jun 2019

At a ceremony of the unveiling of David Levine’s portrait, commissioned by the Hospital for Special Surgery, classmates in attendance were Tony Kane, Dick Davidoff,and Jerry Goldstein. The hospital has been ranked No. 1 in orthopedics in our country by U.S. News & World Report for the ninth consecutive year and is the oldest such institution in the United States, founded on 2nd Avenue in New York City in 1863—the middle of the Civil War. David started as an orthopedic resident in 1961 and never left until he retired from patient care in 1995, though he returned in 2003 to take on an administrative role. Dick Barker attended the New Black Eagles Jazz Band concert in mid February at the Cultural Center in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts. More than 200 people enjoyed the show. It was the first show in which Pete Bullis was not featured on the banjo since his death in September.

Professor Colin Calloway was the winner of the Jerome Goldstein Award for Distinguished Teaching.

Our annual N.Y.C. luncheon was a great success. Attending were: Bob Adnopoz, Howie Aronson, Jerry Barton and Peg, Sue Bastian, Don Berlin and Barbara, Don Brief and Dottie, Lon Chaiken, Lo-Yi Chan, John Cunningham, Dick Davidoff, Lyon Greenberg, Jerry Goldstein, Rick Hartman and Anne Gay, John Heyn and Sally, Tony Kane, David Levine, Dave Mandelbaum, Dan Neiditz and Arlene, Dick Pearl, Maureen Reeland Riggio, Art Rauch, and Wayne Weil.

Peter Kenyon received a thank-you letter from the College for the $15,000 gift to the great Class of 1954 Internship Fund in honor of our 65th reunion—“an outstanding legacy and a wonderful tribute to Dartmouth’s 250th anniversary.”

If you haven’t made your commitment to the College yet, now is the time. Remember all monies are credited to our intern fund, which will make it self-sustaining as our numbers continue to get smaller.

We sadly note the passing of John Merritt, Fleming LaFolette, Gibson Dyke, Robert Orchard, Richard Christophe, Joseph Mannion, Richard Lederer, George O’Connor, Francisco “Paco” Romero, and William Cohen.
