The most successful Dartmouth National Alumni Dinner honoring President Emeritus Ernest Martin Hopkins was very well attended by members of our class. The seating list showed ten classmates present with thenbetter halves. Four classmates were lone wolves. Several, like Dr. Al Ferguson and myself were only able to stop for awhile to attend the very enjoyable pre-dinner cocktail party, ably organized by Bruce Friedlich and Frank Hall.

In the short time that I was on hand I also encountered Bob Darbee and his wife, Marston and Nancy Gibbs, Don and Pat Stillman, Snuffy Smith, JacK and of course, Bruce and Kathy Friedlich. Marston Gibbs subsequently reported to me the presence of Bob Barr.
