His immediate response was the offer of the use of his home, the names of doctors, and every other help any man could give his own brother.
Jack led a completely fulfilled life, receiving a post-graduate degree in law from George Washington University and a degree in accounting from Benjamin Franklin University, becoming vice president of Riggs National Bank and President of the Metropolitan Washington Board of Trade, and other distinctions. He served his class and the College in many capacities, including as class treasurer and class agent.
He leaves his beloved wife, Bethine, five children, including John '65 and Thomas '67, and many grandchildren.
America is a finer place for Jack's having lived here.

BARNARD PEALE TODD died of bilateral bronchopneumonia on November 28, 1985, at the Beverly Hospital, Beverly, Mass. He had retired in 1983 after a full-time career with Beverly Hospital as consultant physician in medicine and cardiology.
He had a lifetime experience with debilitating diseases, having contracted polio at an early age and then multiple sclerosis at a midpoint of his medical career, which caused him to gradually specialize in cardiology interpretations so that he was able to continue working from his home with the able assistance of his dedicated wife, Jeanette.
Barney came to Dartmouth from Huntington School in Boston. He earned his "D" as manager of the freshman baseball team, participating in intramural athletics with the Phi Sigma Kappa jocks and in DOC activities. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa and went on to Harvard Medical School where he graduated with honors in 1936. He was a member of Alpha Omega Alpha and the Aesculapian Club at Harvard. Since June 1939 he was associated with Peer P. Johnson, at al. at Beverly, and visiting physician there since 1951. He was a member of the Boylston Medical Society, Massachusetts Medical Society, and the American Medical Association. He was elected to the board of directors of Beverly Hospital in 1972 and significantly became the first voting physician on the board in its 84-year history.
Barney's taste was eclectic in ideas and persons. He put up with me, with about as divergent a background from his as could be imagined, as college roommate for three years.
Barney had two younger brothers, Charles Nelson Todd '42 and David Broadstreet Todd '45. Both were killed in World War II. Barney is survived by his widow, Jeanette Connelly Todd; his daughter, Susan Peale Todd Wolfe; two granddaughters, Sarah, 11, and Emily, eight; and his son, Charles David Todd.

ALSTON BEEKMAN JR. died on December 5, 1985, in Riverview Medical Center, Red Bank, N.J., after a protracted illness. Al was born in Red Bank and attended its public schools. After graduating from Dartmouth and Yale Law School, he returned to practice law in Red Bank, first with his father, and later, as senior partner in his own firm. In 1942 he married Edna, nicknamed "Billie," from Rumson, N.J.
World War II took him away for four years, but he came back to resume the law practice, to serve as a director and attorney for the local bank, to preside on Red Bank's school board, to be troop chairman of the Boy Scouts, to serve as law officer of Power Boat Squadrons, and to initiate and incorporate the Dartmouth Club of Monmouth County, N.J.
Al's Dartmouth years had given him some of this drive for public service. In college, he was a member of Tri-Kap fraternity, president of Boot and Saddle, a member of the business board of The Dartmouth, and circulation manager of our '33 Aegis.
Al is survived by his wife, Edna, a son, Peter '69, his daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren. He is sorely missed by them and by the community he served so well for so many years.
WILBUR MASON JAQUITH died as the result of a heart attack on October 14, 1985. Born in Clinton, Mass., he came to Dartmouth from Tilton Academy. In college, he was a member of Alpha Tau Omega and of the Interfraternity Council. He received his M.C.S. from Tuck School and his LL.B. from Harvard Law School in 1941.
Like so many out of '33, Jake spent four years in the army. He joined a Boston law firm on his discharge in 1946 but resided in Lexington, Mass., where he served on its planning board and chaired its historical society.
Jake remained close to Dartmouth and to the class. He and his wife, Virginia ("Ginny"), attended many reunions. He served on the 50th-reunion committee. His older brother, Morton, now deceased, was class of '29. A nephew, Peter C. Jaquith, and a grandnephew, Jeffrey Lesueur, are in the classes of '58 and '78, respectively.
Jake is survived by Virginia and by their son and two daughters.
1934
GAIL MATTHEWS RAPHAEL died of congestive heart disease on January 14 at his home in Mission Viejo, Calif. Gail graduated from New York's Horace Mann School; he majored in English and was Phi Beta Kappa at Dartmouth.
Gail was first and foremost a writer. He wrote poetry for the Jack O' Lantern ("I remember, I remember, the dorm my freshman fall") and humorous and sentimental verses for our reunions ("When the Backs Go Popping Out"). At Lord and Thomas advertising agency he embarked on a distinguished copywriting career during which his work made several of those lists of "the 100 best ads of all time." At succeeding agencies, his campaigns for American Airlines and Smirnoff Vodka, to name just two, have become textbook models. And for years he wrote up imaginative incidents (reporting, however, that they had happened to him or he had witnessed them) which he sold to Reader's Digest with monotonous regularity. Upon retirement his column of reminiscences, hilarious and nostalgic, was a feature of Advertising Age.
One of his many enthusiasms was Dartmouth. He was an incessant organizer of '34 luncheons and of class weekends. He was an inveterate commuter-train bridge addict. And when he retired, he took up lawn bowling with such a vengeance that several classmates refused to read any more in the newsletter about his exploits.
During World War 11, Gail was a lieutenant, USNR, in the Incentive Division, and among other writing duties, interviewed returning heroes and prepared talks for them to give at defense plants around the U.S. One such interview led to the best-seller and movie American Guerilla in the Philippines. More important, duty in Washington led to marriage with WAVE Sigrid Shield. Sigrid, two daughters, Alison and Diana, and two grandchildren, Amanda and Nicholas, apples of Gail's eye, survive, and to them, the deepest sympathy of us all.

After putting up a long, brave fight EDWIN DEFREES NEFF died of a heart attack at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on December 4, 1985. Those of us who had seen him struggling through reunions in June and September had to admire his indomitable spirit and strength. No one could have shown greater love for his college and his class.
The class sends its sympathy to his wife, the former Alice Fitzhugh, and two daughters. Alice was a quiet, strong support through his last, "tough" years.
Born in Fort Collins, Colo., he was reared in Washington, D.C. He prepared for Dartmouth at Mercersberg Academy. In college he was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity. He went on to earn an M.A. in journalism at Columbia University.
He started as a reporter for The Washington Times-Herald and was White House correspondent during the Roosevelt administration, then turned to its editorial page where he took charge after serving in the navy in World War II. When the paper was sold in 1953, he went to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as press director. Six years later he joined the National Republican Congressional Committee.
He taught journalism at George Washington University, was a member of the National Press Club, and was active in the Dartmouth Club of Washington.
Some of his strong personal characteristics, wrote his wife, were his keen wit and sense of humour, his love for music, both classical and jazz, and his interest in politics. "After he retired," she said, "his roses, his reading, and his dog, Quincy, occupied much of his time at home. ... He had a very special loyalty to Dartmouth."
With sadness we report the death of another classmate, RICHARD EDGAR O'DANIEL. He died at Johns Hopkins Medical Center on December 2, 1985. His longtime home was in Camp Hill, Pa., near Harrisburg.
He leaves his wife, the former Lois "Katy" Kaden, three daughters, two grandchildren, and a sister, Carol O. Beane in Woodstock, Vt. His daughters in Denver, Salt Lake City, and Santa Monica gave him good excuses to travel.
Dick got his M.B.A. from Harvard, then served five years in the navy in World War 11, first in the Philadelphia Navy Yard and then on carrier Hornet II. He had been president of the Camp Hill Art Press, which he sold in 1980.
Much of his time was spent in good works Holy Spirit Hospital board, United Way, Family and Children's Services, and as a trustee of Homeland, a retirement home, privately endowed, for those living only on Social Security. For his college he served as president of the Central Pennsylvania Club and as interviewing chairman.
We remember him as a tall, seemingly serious guy with a great happy smile and an enjoyable sense of fun. We knew him through college and then regrettably lost touch. Thanks go to Dick Hube '35 for the first news of his death. He had attended our 25th but was just "too tired" to make the 50th.
The class sends its sympathy, admiration, and affection to his family for a friend gone too soon.
1937
In May 1983 ROBERT DAVID KIRSTEIN passed away in Los Angeles after exercising his golden retriever, Duffy. With his passing, Dartmouth lost a very loyal alumnus. Bob came to Dartmouth from Cincinnati. He attended Tuck School after graduation. As an undergraduate he enjoyed skiing and started his collection of the records of the big bands of the thirties: Ray Noble, Fletcher Henderson, and the rest.
During World War II he was an officer with General Patton's Third Army and fought his way into Germany through Luxembourg.
After the war he settled in Los Angeles, initially in a variety of businesses and finally in the music field. He worked for Contemporary Records while they produced Barney Kessel and the Firehouse Five and other successes. He taught modern jazz at UCLA and was "Dr. Jazz" on a radio program.
At the time of his death he was interviewing top jazz performers of the thirties, to be aired on radio programs.
Bob leaves his wife, Eve, in Los Angeles, his mother, Mrs. Shiels, in San Diego, and a sister in La Jolla. His classmates send their sincere condolences to his family.

He served as a naval officer for four years in World War II at Pearl Harbor and elsewhere.
His lifelong interest in athletics is reflected in his business career and the organizations of which he was a member. This focus was undoubtedly influenced by his father, who was athletic commissioner of the "Big Ten" association of colleges. Grif was owner and publisher of the The AthleticJournal from 1946 to 1980. Jack, as he was also called, was a member for more than 25 years of the American Basketball Coaches Association, the United States Track Association, the American Football Coaches Association (35 years), and the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association (39 years).

"All I want for Christmas is a van equipped with a wheelchair lift."
This quote is taken from the December issue of the Alumni Magazine the last column written by AUGUSTUS WILLIAM HENNESSEY JR., our loyal and energetic class secretary, who died on December 28, 1985, in Waterbury, Conn., after a long and courageous fight against Lou Gehrig's disease. Little did we know that this wish would come true and that he would be traveling first class in true peace.

At Bob's services, Rear Adm. Richard Fruchenicht, a fellow aviator and close friend, read the following from "Wind, Sand and Stars" by the French pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupery. "Bit by bit, nevertheless, it comes over us that we shall never again hear the laughter of our friend, that this one garden is forever locked against us. And at that moment begins our true mourning. . . . For nothing, in truth, can replace that companion. Old friends cannot be created out of hand. Nothing can match the treasure of common memories, of trials endured together, of quarrels and reconciliations, and generous emotions."
Bob is survived by his wife, Randee Crowder Dewey; two children, Robert and Jennifer; and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell T. Dewey, to whom all of us in his class send our deepest sympathy.

Dartmouth lost a loyal son when ARIELHALPERN died in New York City on December 29, 1985, after a gallant, four-year battle with cancer.
The business acumen which was a hallmark of his professional life was nurtured at Dartmouth (and at Tuck '60), where he served as director and business manager of WDCR, then the country's first student-operated commercial radio station. To the College's amazement, he turned a profit in that first year.
In his professional life, as a partner and member of the executive committee at the distinguished New York firm of Neuberger and Berman, Ariel was the investment manager for the firm's portfolios of mutual funds, pension funds, and private endowments. The hundreds of persons attending his funeral'at Riverside Chapel on December 31, 1985, included a veritable "Who's Who" of the financial world and numerous Dartmouth alumni.
Ariel served the College as class agent for the Alumni Fund and Tuck, as an officer and director of the Dartmouth Club of New York City, and in college enrollment work there. He was an extremely generous contributor to the College. His abiding concern for quality education was also reflected in his long tenure as a trustee and treasurer of the Horace Mann-Barnard School in Riverside, N.Y.
Ariel enjoyed a remarkably rich, loving family life. In 1961 he married Mimi, now associate dean and professor of anatomy and neural science at New York's Downstate Medical Center. Their two children are both Big Green - Joann '88 and Jeffrey '90. He is also survived by his mother, Sally.
This was a remarkable man who acted with integrity, humility, generosity of spirit, and caring devotion to others. Those who knew him well know that it would never have occurred to him to act otherwise.

GORDON CONVERSE HOLTERMAN, a career army officer, died on August 13, 1985. His father was a career officer who graduated from West Point. Gordon chose to follow that path, too. Thus, he left Dartmouth in February 1958 and later graduated from the United States Military Academy in June 1963.
Unfortunately, we know little of his-military career except that he held the rank of major at the time of his death. The cause of death is unknown. Gordon continued his education while serving in the army, graduating from the University of Alabama with an M.A. in mathematics in 1971. He is survived by his wife, Barbara, and two sons, Eric and Gordon.
While at Dartmouth, Gordon was a member of Phi Tau fraternity. He loved the outdoors and pursued interests in bicycle racing, canoeing, and conservation throughout his life.

JOHN ALVIN BUNCH JR. died of cancer on November 13, 1984, in Fayetteville, Ark. At Dartmouth, John was a student of history and politics, an active participant in church activities, and a member of the freshman football team.
After his freshman year, John returned to his native Arkansas, where he completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Arkansas and married his longtime girlfriend, Aleta Joy. After graduation, he followed a long family tradition and went into banking. In 1982, he began law school at the University of Arkansas. He completed two years of law school.
Classmates and friends will remember John for his quiet modesty. Although he held a national high school football rushing record and was the only athlete at Elkins High School to have his football jersey retired, he did not boast of his accomplishments.
He will also be remembered for his courage. The cancer first appeared in 1980, but John would not let it deter him. He continued to be a loving husband and devoted himself to the rigors of law school. Less than a year after he underwent major surgery for cancer, John successfully ran in a 10-kilometer race.
John Bunch was a gentle, devoted, and good human being. All who knew him will miss him. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family.
