For this issue, your co-secretaries are featuring the several information resources that are unique to our class and available to all classmates via the internet and your computer or smart phone browsers. Perhaps underappreciated is our Facebook presence and the many information links that our webmaster has created. Gus Buchtel has been the class’s outstanding webmaster for some time now. We want to give him some highly deserved recognition for keeping our information resources, especially our Facebook page, in tip-top shape.
Pages that are publicly available include the home page (https://1964.dartmouth.org), where you can find obituaries and officers under “About Us & In Memoriam.” Find also “Newsletters/Reports,” which require a password (aka a Dartmouth-specific NetID).
To find your NetID and set/reset your password, you can email alumni.help@dartmouth.edu or call (603) 646-3202 for help. You’ll find the login once you click on the “Newsletters/Reports” header.
The periodic Zoom-based meetings—held to provide reflections by our classmates on their experiences and as a bridge to exchange information between our semi-decade reunions—are available via the class’s Facebook page. Classmates who have passed on recently are Thomas Wright of Hopkinton, New Hampshire, and George E. Taft of Colchester, Vermont. Lastly, we need to mention that the class’s volunteer effort in Romania has closed because of the Romanian government’s decision to stop taking or keeping any more Ukrainian refugees. Recognition of our efforts has resulted in two awards by the Rotary Club of Pietra Neamt in Romania and by Alianta, with Bill Fitzhugh accepting the award for the class. Well done ’64s and other associated classes! That’s all for now. Best regards.
