1941

The September minireunion in Hanover is history, but it still supplies many happy memories for this scribe. Arriving in a rainstorm at the HoJo motel Friday morning, I was pleased to find the smiling face of Brodie Bjorklund just down the hall. We checked with our gallant reunion leader, Vic Schneider, to make sure he had ordered dry weather for the Saturday game. Bobbie invited us to a delightful lunch at their hilltop hideaway in Quechee, where Vic showed us a Dartmouth poster that featured Ail-American athletes from all eras. Our class was well represented by GusBroberg for basketball, Bill Clark for golf, and William Meyer, who died in 1963, for fencing.

I missed the early gathering on Thursday night at Art and Libby Hills's home, but I heard that wine and good fellowship prevailed. The Friday night banquet at the Hotel Coolidge was also great with approximately 40 attending, only exceeded by the 52 men and ladies who enjoyed the Saturday night fest at the Norwich Inn.

Saturday noon was another kind of fest, an alfresco lunch in the backyard of Bill and JeanHotaling, under a tent and in warmer conditions than last year. The Penn game that followed was a close, interesting contest, but with disappointing results for the home team in the final minute (four chances to win inside the five and no score).

Scribbled notes from the weekend: Beanieand Babs Nutt, smiling and fit, are enjoying life on their 200-acre Etna farm where they grow red and white pine for log houses plus a few maples for pancake anointing. Dan andCarol Provost happily divide their time between their New Jersey condo and their Rancho Mirage, Calif., home. Dr. GeneStollerman has a home in Hanover but still teaches at Boston U until he retires fully next year. We both wondered how our mutual friend Dr. Dave Mulliken was doing down in Pikeville, Ky.

Carl Krogh helped me enjoy the game with his dry comments. He confessed to running a small cemetery in Deerfield, Mass. On my other side was Bill Steel, up from Center Harbor with Millie and 14 folks from Winnipesaukee, all avid Dartmouth rooters. Despite his longstanding love for the New Hampshire lake, Bill is planning to move completely to his Florida home.

President Freedman was at the game and seemed to be in good spirits despite his chemotherapy ordeal. He also dropped in on our Saturday night assemblage and many of us had a chance to wish him well.

Don and Pat Stillman were up from Florida and not looking forward to unpacking 120 boxes at their new, spacious retirement home. Don presided at the Saturday class meeting and commended the efforts of Vic and Bobbie, Bill and Jean, and Art and Libby, to which we all said Amen. Other weekend doings and actions at the class meeting will be duly reported by that worthy wordsman George Herman, whose DFTD has no space restrictions.
