1946

La Plante Road Lebanon, NH 03766

Planning for the fall mini-reunion is progressing well under the experienced leadership of co-chairs Whitey Burnham and Jack Sayers, assisted by your Hanoverbased officers Dune Fitchet, Bob Kimball, and yours truly. In late January this ad hoc committee developed the following tentative schedule:

Friday, October 14, 5-7:15 p.m.: chowder, corn bread, heavy appetizers, and setups at the class tent behind the Kimball's home on South Park Street. Then on to participate as a class in the Dartmouth Night parade.

Saturday, October 15, noon: gather at tent for pre-game refreshments (BYOB) then to the H-D game. At 5:30 cocktails (cash bar) and buffet dinner in the Drake room at the Hanover Inn. Our speaker will be soccer coach Bobby Clark.

More detailed information on the minireunion will appear in the newsletter later this summer. Again, we have ten rooms reserved for 1946 at the Higbea Motel (Lebanon, NH 03766, tel. 603/448-5070) for the nights of October 14 and 15. Those wishing to make reservations for both nights are advised to do so promptly as they will be held only until August 15 and this is the Dartmouth Night-Harvard game weekend!

Among the winter visitors to the College were Jim and Ari Lynch for Alumni Winter Festival weekend in February, and JimShute and Billy Riley who returned for the annual alumni hockey game that weekend. While Billy did not play in the game, Jim, who came all the way from Philadelphia, was the second oldest participant after Paul Guibard '36!

Bob Kimball reported a nice phone conversation with Peter Millard regarding Pete's recommendation of a prospective member of the class of 1992. Pete is currently with the Yale School of Architecture.

For those who knew our late classmate Dr. Hugh MacNamee but are somewhat removed from the Hanover environs, a memorial trust fund in Hugh's name has been established by his family for the purposes of providing education in the mental health field via annual professional workshops and free public lectures, as well as supplemeriting the cost of counseling for adolescents and their families. The major annual fund-raising effort for the fund is a golf scramble on the Sunday following Labor Day on the Hanover Country Club course. This year the event will be on Sunday, September 11, so if any golfing classmates might be in the area and would like to remember Hugh in this way, I'm sure his wife, Mary (Mimi), would be pleased to sign you up. Her address is 11 South Park Street, Hanover, NH 03755.

Word has been received of the death by a heart attack of Emery Frederick Lewis on January 2 in Seabrook Island, S.C. Em, a long-time resident of Louisville, Ky., is survived by his wife, Edna, and four children, to whom we express our deepest sympathy.

Once again we're approaching crunch time in the Alumni Fund. If you haven't yet made your contribution, please do so to help make Welles Fendrich's debut as our head class agent a rousing success!
