Class Note 1955
Betty Brady took a Ralph Sautter idea and, with the help of Jack Doyle, arranged a lovely luncheon at the Weston (Massachusetts) Golf Club on Saturday, April 22, that resulted in a turnout of 32 classmates, spouses, widows and guests. Local folks included the Parkers, Doyles, Fangers, Turners. From Maine, Kilt Andrew, Ken Harvey and your scribe joined in. Ken had lived in the Boston suburbs for years and is now in the Belgrade Lakes area, where his family had spent many summers.
It was good to see Doris and Roy Matucci in from North Hampton, New Hampshire. Carol Cacciamani was with Ralph, as usual. Joan Weintraub, Joan Thompson, Lou Hance and Betty Brady continue to make our gatherings the more worthwhile. Lou has good plans for Homecoming, early this year, October 7 and 8! Kathy and Ken Lundstrom came up from North Carolina.
Pete Buhler (with Betty) noted that four Dartmouth rowers were present: Pete, coxswain Leon Martel, Larry Hager (with guest Mary Ellen Evans) and Julia Saraidaridis ’09, former captain. Julia was present with fiancé Minal Caron ’09, a Dickey Scholarship recipient who is very close with our class. Minal is with Ropes & Gray in Boston and Julia is a third-year surgical resident at Mass General.
Mike Gorton brought class photographer Karen to record all for Jody Mathewson’s newsletter. Dick Mount detailed his upcoming 2018 odyssey to benefit the Youth Tennis Foundation. He will travel more than 12,000 miles and play a match in the capital of all the lower 48. Watch for details from your local Dartmouth Club. Dartmouth Trustee Bill Burgess ’81 gave an upbeat review of the current state of the College. His work for the College and us warrants a sincere wah hoo wah. Bonnie MacAdam, curator of American art at the Hood Museum, showed us the concepts for the new buildings and exhibits. While portions of the Hood are closed, exhibits and classes are in Hood Downtown at 53 Main Street.
Big news: Dartmouth-Brown football at Fenway Friday night, November 10; Dartmouth Uniformed Service Alumni Veteran’s Day celebration the next night at the Langham Boston.
