It is difficult to believe that he has gone, for he not only never missed a reunion but also rarely missed a football game with Harvard. in fact, he seemed to be a fixture at our post-reunion gathering at the Spalding Inn, partly because he was a close friend of our adopted classmate, Randy Spalding. Don and Randy had met each other as classmates at Mil, to which Don had transferred in sophomore year after his service in 1918 with the U.S. Naval Air Reserve.

Don's transfer to MIT was occasioned partly, because of his desire to be in the successful family rendering business that had been established by his grandfather.

1956

Martin Marcus died of a heart attack on April 14 in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Marty graduated from the New York University School of Law in 1959, having served as treasurer and then justice (president) of the Phi Alpha Delta law fraternity.

After a few years in New York City he moved to Poughkeepsie, where he became a partner in the firm of Marcus and Hanig, and with a reputation for hard work and devotion to his clients.

Active in civic affairs, Marty served as director of Dutchess County Planned Parenthood, of the People's Housing Development Corporation, and of Temple Beth El of Poughkeepsie. From 1981 to 1983 he served as president of the Mid-Hudson Dartmouth Club.

Marty is survived by his wife, Judy, and by two sons, Jonathan and Michael.

1986

Jane Dea Awad died in Seattle, Wash., on August 5 from Hodgkin's disease. She fought the illness with the same spirit that characterized her days at Dartmouth, when she overcame dyslexia to win a degree in computer science, and when she also became a top-ranked New England tennis player. Shortly before her death she demonstrated this spirit through her marriage to Shawn Borgeson '83, whom she had dated for most of her years at Dartmouth.

Jane was a native of Framingham, Mass., and came to Dartmouth from the Noble & Greenough School in Dedham.

Jane's survivors, in addition to Shawn, include her-sister Jody 'Bl, and her parents, Phillip and Alice Awad. Her family, joined by a number of classmates, have established the Jane Dea Awad '86 Achievement Fund in her honor; it will benefit women at the College who, like Jane, have overcome disabilities and difficult circumstances, and demonstrated leadership and character.
