Classe Notes
Sometimes fiction actually works. My column from two months ago actually has generated some real news from classmates. So in the interest of space, I will go right to it.
This winter it was all about weather and politics. Seems our winter left to go to the Euro zone and our politics left to go—well, probably best to leave that conversation for another day.
Well if no news is good news, then I can report our class is doing very well since I have no news from classmates to report.
By now I’m sure you’ve read about the big news on the College front with the selection of Philip J. Hanlon ’77, Ph.D., as Dartmouth’s 18th president.
Dateline: Cambridge Massachusetts, October 29, 2011, 7 p.m.—Despite an all out blizzard complete with howling winds and blowing snow, 35 hard-core classmates and guests sat through a 30-14 Dartmouth-Harvard loss in the first Ivy League night foot
Greetings from Hanover, once again. As winter temperatures begin to settle in the campus has been conspicuously devoid of winter’s most familiar calling card: snow.
I’m happy to say the news keeps pouring in. Another column or two and I think we can call it a trend. In any event, it’s great to hear from so many classmates.
By now all of us know that Dartmouth has begun a search for a new president and that President Kim has moved on to the World Bank.
Dateline: Cambridge, Massachusetts. April 23. Harvard Yard. Headline: “Harvard Concedes Defeat.” Yes, it’s true.
It’s early winter on the top of Mount Sunapee, New Hampshire. A blizzard has just begun and nightfall is fast approaching.
Will have much more to report on in next month’s column following this weekend’s upcoming Dartmouth-Harvard game and our class of ’75 mini-reunion championed by our president and logistical expert, Lon Cross.
Nancy and I just returned from watching the Head of Charles Regatta this afternoon—just a few feet from our “student housing” just off the banks of the river on Memorial Drive in Boston.
