Thomas “Tod” Seel ’65

Thomas “Tod” Seel ’65 passed May 12 in Savannah, Georgia. Tod and his wife of 50 years, Megan, had moved to Savannah in 2016, leaving the waters Tod fished and waded and their beloved home in Moran, Wyoming, near Jackson Hole. Tod started Dartmouth with the class of 1965. Classmate Gary Herbst reports that he probably left Dartmouth after his second year—he’s shown as a sophomore in a Bones Gate picture with Herbst—but later returned and graduated both undergrad and Tuck (1969). Megan wishes Tod to be remembered by the e.e. cummings poem “up into the silence the green,” which so eloquently expresses their love for each other and their days in Moran: up into the silence the green/silence with a white earth in it/you will(kiss me)go/out into the morning the young/morning with a warm world in it/(kiss me)you will go/on into the sunlight the fine/sunlight with a firm day in it/you will go(kiss me/down into your memory and/a memory and memory/i)kiss me, (will go).
