Happy 2025! I can’t quite believe how fast time passes when you’re having fun and getting older. The class of ’71 is planning many activities for 2025 and 2026. There are lots of winter possibilities, so this is more a listing of dates in chronological order.
The annual Naples (Florida) winter reunion for 2025 is scheduled for April 3-6. Details will be available mid-February so please contact Jim Rager for details.
The annual CarniVail gathering in Colorado is scheduled for March 7-9. Wayne Hobin is hosting and has all the details.
Wayne is also handling arrangements for a return to Yellowstone! Bookings for February 2026 open on February 5. Interested classmates are encouraged to go online to book or call the reservations number. Wayne Hobin will have sent out a further reminder in January. Classmates who have expressed an interest in attending, many with spouses or others, are Greg Fell, Michael Maynard, Dave Books, Carl Soderland, John Hanley, Tim Dreisbach, Steve Hoverman, Don O’Neil, Jeff McElnea, Rod Morgan, and John Easton.
I regret to inform our class of the passing of William Hammer Munich in March 2024 and Kevin Robert Murphy on October 11, 2024. Memorials will appear in the online DAM.
Jim Rager writes: “I am pleased to let you know that our classmate Nels Armstrong was a recent recipient of the Dartmouth Alumni Award. Nels, well done. On behalf of the class, I congratulate you on receiving this award and thank you for your friendship and many years of service to Dartmouth.”
