Class Note 1947

Hugh Chapin was named the 2010 Trustee of the Year at Galloway Ridge, a retirement community that he helped found and develop in North Carolina. He is now an honorary member of the board of directors. He and Beverly managed a trip to Norway, north to the Arctic Ocean; two theater weeks in Canada to the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ontario; and the George Bernard Shaw Festival at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Hugh had a bad fall in November but has recuperated at the skilled facility at Galloway Ridge.


Gerry Phillips continues to be active in the mediation and arbitration field. Working with Aine Donovan at the Dartmouth Ethics Institute, he formed a center for prevention, management and resolution of conflict. Aided by Sylvia Spears, acting dean of the College, professor Daryl Press and Clark Callahan of the Tuck School, a program is planned for Hanover with Ken Feinberg as a major speaker.


John Trethaway mentioned having a break-in at his summer place last winter. He and Helen had a security system installed. The problem this fall and winter has been calls in the middle of the night arising from mice setting off the motion detectors.


Bill Hallager visited a daughter in North Carolina in early January and then planned to spend much of the winter with another daughter in Denver.
