Class Note 1941

For this issue we have, as usual, good and bad news. The good news: On January 25 we received notice from the College that the class of 1941 does not need to pay class dues now or evermore! Our class funds have been placed in an account at the College and, because of our good stewardship through the years, the class is financially sound now and for the future. Patricia Fisher ’81, acting vice president of alumni relations, is now the administrator and treasurer for the class. Whew! What a load off our backs! Remember too that at our 70th reunion next September 30 we are guests of the College at the Hanover Inn. Good to have lived long enough to reap all these benefits. But first, and especially those of us embedded in the granite of New Hampshire, we have to survive this winter’s record-breaking snowfall, great for skiers but a lethal hazard for nonagenarians. Now the bad news: Several more of our doughties are gone: Don Stillman, Robbins Barstow, John Twist, Lee Bye and George Guest. Writing classmates’ obituaries (see online edition of the Alumni Magazine) has given me a gratifying insight to the contributions our class has made to American, and indeed to global, progress and welfare. Class of ’41 out, with glory!
