JOHN HENRY CLARK died at the Cape Cod Hospital on August 6. He had been taken there several days prior to his death. Jack had been in ill health during the past year.

He became ill in June on a trip to Europe and had seemed to be making a recovery; but he had another attack just prior to his death while spending a holiday with his daughter and grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In the words of his son-in-law, this caused him to die a "happy man."

Summers he usually conducted a tour through Europe or Asia; occasionally he just basked in the sun on Long Island.

JOHN OLIN GARRISON suffered respiratory failure on June 11 and died 11 days later on June 22. Previously an active and youthful 76, he had had surgery and radiation for a lung, malignancy last-February, from which he appeared to be making a good recovery.
Though he'd never been particularly communicative, we know that John (or Garry to most of us) entered the army as a private in 1941 and was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1942. Most of his 20-year military career was in intelligence and counter-intelligence, much of it overseas.
John retired as a lieutenant colonel in 1961 but continued his work as a civilian. He served on the teaching staff of the Army Intelligence School and was highly reputed for his skill in the preparation of military reports. He finally retired again in 1973 to pursue his two principal interests of golf and foreign travel.
John was a member of Delta Tau Delta and was married to Norma Foster Holden on May 29, 1942. To Norma, his sole survivor, we extend our sympathy in her loss and acknowledge our indebtedness to her for much of the above information.
Through his cousin, Wilbur Jaquith '33, the College has learned that JOHN STEVENSON GIBSON, 79, died of a heart ailment on June 21. John was a member of a strong Dartmouth family, with a father, an uncle, two cousins, and a great uncle in classes ranging from 1864 to 1904. More recently, he had cousins in 1926, 1929, and 1933. He prepared for Dartmouth at Westminster School and while in college was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Little has been reported of his activities since he left Dartmouth, except that he was a salesman for Jordan Marsh for a number of years and at the end of 1969 he retired as assistant sales manager of F. Schumacher Company. He was unmarried.
On April 15, following a lengthy illness, GUNNAR EUGENE HOLLSTROM passed away after suffering a heart attack. Although he had not enjoyed good health for some time, his death was unexpected. He had just returned home after dining out with his wife, the former Natalie G. Parmenter.
At Dartmouth Gunnar was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity and Green Key and was one of the best pitchers in Dartmouth's baseball history. In 1930 he was offered a tryout by Connie Mack, then manager of the world champion Philadelphia Athletics. After giving it considerable thought, as Gunnar loved baseball, he decided he wanted to complete his education in engineering and so went back to Thayer School.
In 1931 he became an instructor in civil engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, a position he held for three years. In 1934 he went to the Norton Company in Worcester, where he remained for the rest of his career except for a break in 1946 for some management courses at Harvard Business School. At Norton he advanced to the position of superintendent of the Diamond Products Division, from which he retired in 1970. Besides his duties at Norton, Gunnar was secretary and then president of the Worcester Society of Civil Engineers, as well as a member of the Massachusetts Professional Engineers.
Gunnar leaves Natalie, his wife of 32 years, and a sister, Solveig H. Zambon of Milton, Mass., as well as a niece and two grandne phews.To all of them, we of Dartmouth offer our sincere sympathy.

Another recent loss to the class was ROBERT MELIUS DICKEY, who died on August 6 at Cape Cod Hospital, near his home at South Chatham, Mass.

He became the company's research librarian at its Everett, Mass., plant in 1942 and a patent agent two years later. He earned his law degree from Western New England College in 1956, and this led to his becoming senior patent attorney for the company. He retired after 35 years of service with Monsanto.
It was noted in our 25-year report that he had received four basic patents in the plastics field, and this number was no doubt increased in ensuing years.
His professional memberships included the American Chemical Society, the American Bar Association, the Massachusetts Bar Association, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was a past president of the Chatham Rotary Club and a member of the Dartmouth Club of Cape Cod and for three years was district director of the Boy Scouts, among other civic service activities.

1933
JAMES AUGUSTINE NOONAN died in his sleep at his home in Mahanoy City, Pa., on July 11. Jim was a lifelong resident of that city as was his brother, Tom '33.
Any notice of Jim's life and death must also remember Tom's, who died on June 21, 1983. They were always close. They both prepared for Dartmouth at Mahanoy Township High School. Jim, a year older, waited for Tom's graduation so they could enter Dartmouth together. They roomed in Top liff, and Jim played on that dorm's intramural football and basketball teams.
Following graduation, Jim worked in sales and accounting for Noonan Brothers department store. During World War 11, he was a civilian statistician and accountant for the U.S. Signal Corps in Philadelphia. Until his retirement in 1975, he served with distinction as a sales-tax statistician for the Common wealth of Pennsylvania.
Jim and Tom continued their love of Dartmouth all their lives. They came to our 50th reunion together shortly before Tom's death. Jim later remarked how much that trip to Hanover meant to both of them. This past year Jim took Tom's former work as assistant class agent for the Alumni Fund and covered the rest of eastern Pennsylvania as replacement for Bud King. He was also active in his church and the Knights of Columbus and the Holy Name Society.
Jim never married. He had enormous pride as a member of the loving Noonan family, with its six brothers and two sisters. The two sisters and one brother survive, as do nieces and nephews.

He is survived by his wife I ola; four sons, John '62, Russell, William, and Robert; brothers George '40 and Charles; a sister, Josephine She pard; and two grandsons. In providing this career background, John advised that a Barris Mills Poetry Fund had been established at Purdue. In an Alumni Magazine review of his Domestic Fables it was pointed out that Bar was a "literate man with a great variety of cultural interests, a professor who cares for his students, a humane man ... a poet who respects his art, and an honest human being who can laugh at himself without losing dignity."
We learn from his brother, Louis '37, that EDWARD LOUIS VALIER passed away suddenly of a heart attack on July 14, while sailing with his nephew and two friends on his yacht, Thai, off the coast of Honduras. There had been no prior indication of heart trouble.
Ed began with the class of 1929, and after dropping out for a period returned to graduate with 1934. He had long been active in real estate development in Florida, for many years as an official of L.C. Judd and Company of Ft. Lauderdale. This followed duty with the navy during World War II when he became commander of a yacht used by the navy for scientific work with underwater devices in detection of submarines. He stayed in the naval reserve and retired as a commander. He had a lifelong attachment to sailing and after retirement cruised frequently, especially around Grand Cayman. He was buried at sea near that island.

Living and working in the New York area after the war, he promoted and supported class picnics, cocktail parties, monthly lunches at the Dartmouth Club of New York, and Alumni Fund telethons.
Perhaps the most outstanding thing about Art was the way he handled his disability. A tank commander with the Ninth Armored Division in World War II, he had five tanks shot out from under him, finally getting clipped in Luxembourg, and losing both legs. He learned to handle artificial legs so well that he became a counselor to amputees in veterans' hospitals. And with a great sense of humor he joked about his feet and was never embarrassed to rest a hand on a nearby shoulder going up or down steps. It was the only help he ever needed.
Art had strong opinions about many things, included changes in Hanover, some of which he strongly opposed, but felt it never affected his love for the place. Last September the Alumni Magazine carried an article entitled "The Dartmouth Disease," which in spired Art to write a letter to the editor. "Recently picking up our old senior yearbook, I became aware that there are some 200 fellow classmates listed, including me, who did not graduate. Among them, I see many current friends I've never realized also didn't graduate (the) 'Dartmouth Disease' simply having tagged them as, say, loyalists without sheepskin, as it did me."
Art leaves his wife Dotty and daughter Diana Pucci, of Clinton, Conn. The class greatly mourns the loss of a devoted, generous, and heroic friend.

Tom served many civic and industry organizations during his active years and had just recently started to enjoy the good life of retirement on Cape Cod. He was a strong family man but was able to make an extension of this to include Dartmouth and the Hanover scene, both of which were important parts of his life. He truly had legions of friends and used the music of Dartmouth and his own talents to bring these friends together. Tom always maintained the basic principles of life and through that made a lasting memory with those privileged to know him well. He will be sorely missed.

The Reverend MILLS ROGER OMALY, 44, the Episcopal priest who provided our class with spiritual leadership at all four of our reunions, died in July at St. Vincent's Hospital in New York, 13 months after he was diagnosed as having acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Wrote Dr. Donald Ginter '62, a Bones Gate fraternity brother: "Having learned of his fatal illness, Mills devoted his remaining time to educating and comforting those who shared his fate. He called this his 'new ministry,' deftly turning tragedy into hope." He visited AIDS victims who were hospitalized. With the encouragement of Paul Moore, bishop of New York, he urged that a special collection be taken to help his new ministry.
Mills came to Dartmouth from Hinsdale High School in Illinois; he sang all four years in the Glee Club, majored in English, and as a senior chaired the executive council of the Canterbury Association. Mills was drawn to the Episcopal Church while in college. Noted one classmate: "He knew that he had a vocation for the priesthood and was disap- pointed that his bishop suggested that he delay his progress toward ordination by taking an M.A. in English from Northwestern," which he received in 1962. He earned a master's of divinity from the General Theological Seminary in 1965. He served churches in Lattingtown, N.Y., Plais town, N.H., and Pleasant Valley, N.Y., and finally served as rector of All Saints' Church in Briar cliff Manor. He also was Episcopal chaplain at Vassar College. He held a number of church offices.
He is survived by his daughter, Jennifer, 13, of San Rafael, Calif.
Wrote Ginter, "He was able to change for the better the course of the lives of many of those who sought his help. Few of us will have done that in much longer lifetimes. All of us who knew him well will greatly miss his special view of life and living."
A memorial fund in Mills's name is being arranged for an Edgerton House (the Episcopal Student Center) student internship. It would help those interested in the ministry to spend an off-term in study here or abroad.
1962
It is with the deepest sorrow that I report the untimely death of DAVID LOUIS EBERSBACH, who died in Georgia on April 19.
Dave had suffered from cancer for a couple of years and had a tumor removed from his abdomen some months ago. Sadly, he had a recurrence, and ultimately lost his battle with the disease.
Dave exemplified the ideals of Dartmouth in many ways. He loved the outdoors and demonstrated that determination and perseverance can indeed move mountains. David became an accomplished orthopedic surgeon, specializing in delicate and intricate operations on the hand.
David was a warm, compassionate, kind human being with a hearty laugh and a keen sense of humor. David was also a devoted father to Peter, Lauren, and Kurt and a loving husband to Priscilla (Hall), a Smith graduate whom he married in late 1962.
David will be sorely missed by all those who knew him, his patients, his friends, his classmates, but above all by his children, widow, brother, and parents. To paraphrase John Donne, David's death has diminished us all.
WILLIAM BRODSKY '62
1969

In 1975, Charlie earned his M.B.A. from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, and became director of Management information services for Burroughs in 1981.
Charlie is remembered by classmates as a person of astonishing intellectual ability: a quick mind, a broad range of interests, and a sense of humor founded on both brilliant wit and enormous powers of observation. Charlie loved the process of life itself, whether that process was reflected in a game of "Risk," a political campaign, or a work of art. His own masterful performance is all the more significant for its tragic brevity.
He is survived by his wife, Susan, to whom the class extends its deepest sympathy.
