As we write these notes just before Christmas we recall the heavy snows in the South and Northeast a year ago that had us snowbound in Connecticut. The forecast this year is milder. By the time you read this in mid-February we shall know how it all turned out this time.


November was 1955 mini-reunion month. To start, our North Carolina classmates had their semiannual gathering on the 11th in Statesville hosted by Jon and Mary Anderson. They were joined by Ed and Coyla Barry, Dave Conlan, Ken Lundstrom, Tom and Sharon McGreevey, Paul and Shirley Merriken and Dave and Betsey Miller. The group now refers to itself as the ’55 Antiques Road Show to reference the road trips involved—and, well, the attendees. 


November 19 featured two mini-reunions—Washington, D.C., and Hanover. In Washington Joe Mathewson was interviewed at the Newseum by Greg Stohr, the Supreme Court reporter for Bloomberg News, concerning Joe’s book, The Supreme Court and the Press, before a large and engaged audience. Arrangements had been made by Nick and Mary Lynn Kotz. Dinner with classmates Paul and Margot Zimmerman, Harry Weil, Bob and Kay Perkins, Jim and Judy Perkins, Paul and Karen Mannes, Lew Wolfson and Ron Muller at a nearby restaurant followed with continued lively discussions.


In Hanover ’55s gathered for a Hopkins Center showing of the Nuremburg Trials documentary, which had been brought to Dartmouth by donations from the class of 1955 under the leadership of Buck Kuttner. The showing in Hanover was the first at an undergraduate Ivy institution. Present were Buck and Marta, Larry and Kathy Pilchman, Ralph and Carol Sautter, Jud Hale, John and Betty Wetzel, Jack and Marilyn Doyle.


Lynmar Brock has announced the publication of Genevieve, about a young ensign on sea duty in the Mediterranean who meets Genevieve on liberty, a collision at sea and the unexpected outcome for Ensign Karnin.
