1951

Kudos to Jack Gregerich, Nita and Mike Choukas, and Barb and Dave Hall and all those who helped chalk up a record third annual fall mini-reunion in Hanover. It was the peak weekend for the fall leaves in an exceptional riot of bright color contrasts this year. The weekend began with a class executive meeting at which several decisions were made. It was a delight to have Chuckie Mclntyre in attendance representing the class widows. Sam Roberts reported on our 35th reunion to be held from Monday, June 9, through lunch Wednesday, June 11, 1986. Mass Hall will be headquarters, and plans include seminars, picnics, class dinners, and lots of entertainment. Carol Morse reported on her family's plan to fund the Baker Bell's Commitment as a family and class memorial to Don Morse. More on this in a later column when Carol has finalized her plans.

Since all class officers' terms end in June 1986, Joe Welch has agreed to chair the nominating committee to come up with a slate by reunion time. Send all recommendations directly to Joe. Jack Giegerich reported that more mini-reunions were planned in Hanover on February 15 and 16 as well as the fourth annual fall mini-reunion for the Harvard game during the weekend of October 18, 1986. Mike Choukas reported that the College is planning a gala weekend in Maryland during the weekend of the Dartmouth-Navy football game on October 4, 1986. Plans include a three-hour boat trip from Baltimore to Annapolis.

Hank Sanders, head class agent, reported that $110,444 was given by the class during the 1985 alumni fund drive. That is a 63 percent participation. Hank is planning a record-giving year for the 1986 reunion with the following chairpersons; Bob Hopkins, leadership; Jack Gannon, fraternities; Jim Keegan, doctors; JakeLivingston, eastern region; Pierre McKee, western region; and Chuckie Mclntyre, widows. Also assisting Hank are CharlieBreed, Pete Henderson, Mike Choukas,Howie Reed, and Dave Hilton. Bob Hopkins will chair the reunion giving program.

After the class executive meeting, everyone was invited to Nita and MikeChoukas's for a pre-game lunch with chowder. After lunch, most of us attended the disastrous football game with Colgate which will go totally un mentioned here except that the Dartmouth Band put on a great half-time show with good music and clever formations including the one on Colgate toothpaste chasing away the "Devil" cavities. Following that was a special class tour of the New Hood Art Museum at which everyone was given the insight and thinking that went into its careful planning, design, and architecture which fits beautifully into the campus. There is even a Sanders Room which reflects Hank Sanders's relationship with Charlie Hood and his family.

After that we all went to Barb and DaveHall's lovely home for an evening of cocktails and camaraderie. Two "Spirit of '51" awards were given —one to PeteBogardus and the other to Frank Smallwood, both of which commemoratives will be reported here in later columns. A record attendance of 47 classmates plus accompanying wives, children, and friends came back for the mini-reunion, and we all look forward to next fall.

After nine years of running the Milwaukee office for Knutson Mortgage, Dave Wiggins has joined First Interstate Mortgage Company - still in Milwaukee. The firm specializes in the origination, underwriting, and placement of large ($5,000,000 or more) commercial incomeproducing real estate loans. With headquarters in Chicago, the firm has branches in Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Atlanta as well as Denver, Minneapolis, and throughout the West and Southwest. An interesting sidelight is that Karen Jar- vis, daughter of Chuckie and Jock McIntyre, works as a mortgage analyst and processor in the firm's St. Louis office. Both Karen and Dave met at a corporation reception in Chicago in July and became fast friends because of their Dartmouth association.
