Class Note 1945

Class secretary Rosalie Cutter has given me, Craig Cain, permission to submit these notes for this issue of DAM. The subject is future obituaries of class members. 


Currently, when I hear of a classmate’s death, I notify Michelle Brown, Alumni Records Office, (603) 646-2253. She has other sources, so frequently she already knows of the death. She sends a file, including available obits and honors, to Theresa D’Orsi at DAM. After Theresa is certain of the death via Michelle’s office, she forwards that packet to me. I cannot submit anything until I receive that packet as a confirmation of death. I then use that information, plus other sources I have collected from the class activities, to prepare the obits I have written for the last 15 years. That obit is then posted at the magazine’s website, www.dartmouthalumnimagazine.com, and is available indefinitely in the online archives.


Since February 1 my personal condition suggests that I might not be able to continue to fulfill my position as necrologist. In the absence of a replacement, I suggest that anyone who wants to prepare any information on a classmate’s death first contact Theresa at classnotes@dartmouth.edu or (603) 646-3086 to discuss submission for the website.
