1961

Dartmouth Night Weekend was highlighted by a spectacular, come-from behind football victory, a great dinner at Tony and Therese Field's French restaurant, and snow. Yes, snow on the last weekend in October. Ivar Jozus, our class treasurer, shepherded the mini-reunion in the absence of such regulars as President ArtKelton, Vice President Bob Rosier, past president Dave Prewitt, and former vice president (and current projects chair) MikeMurphy.

Our class still mustered a showing for the Dartmouth Night parade, had a good cookout before the game on the porch of the Fayerweathers (the site of several past picnics), and then held its collective breath as quarterbackjay Fiedler '94 began bringing Dartmouth back from a 17-point deficit as the third quarter neared an end.

Ivar says that late in the fourth quarter Fiedler converted a critical fourth-and-ten play, then scored, watched Harvard roar back, and then scored again. "It was a wild finish."

The dinner, Ivar said, was "good wine, good food, and good company." We've mentioned before the Anthony Field Gallery Bed and Breakfast at the Freegrace Leavitt Tavern Restaurant, and the ChezTherese French Restaurant. That was the site of the class dinner. Among those at the dinner were Tim andLiz Knox, Bob and Beth Fuller, Pete andRuthie Bleyler, Bill and Cynthia Blue and their daughter, Maynard and Sandy Wheeler, Bruce Forester (who signed his latest novel at the Dartmouth Bookstore), and Vic andLois Rich. "The thing I like, when we sit down to dinner, is to talk to people I didn't really know that well back at Dartmouth, and I find out they're really super people and that we have lots of things to talk about," said Ivar.

When the dinner was over, "we had to brush snow off our cars" before heading back to the hotel in Lebanon, he said.

Over the course of the weekend—at the parade, at the pre-game cook-out, and at the game itself, Ivar spotted other classmates: Richard W. Wright and Ursula Kobel (he teaches international business at McGill), Head Agent Henry and Laurie Eberhardt,Red Facher, "and I may have missed some."

Ivar also passed along some news from the Connecticut legal community: Art Latimer is retiring as federal magistrate for the district of Connecticut. And Bob Fuller, a judge on the Connecticut Superior Court, is drawing acclaim for Connecticut Land Use Law, a 1,046-page how-to guide on land use in Connecticut. "It is a very scholarly but practical book that people who practice law in Connecticut can use," said Ivar. "For a lawyer, it's a great book." The book was published by West Publishing Co., one of the nation's major legal publishing houses.

Bob dedicates his book "to those land-use attorneys who have spent many long nights on cold winter evenings with ungrateful clients before a hostile board or commission, harassed by opponents in some remote town, only to be turned down in the end for some arbitrary reason, and then lose the appeal because the trial judge defers to the judgment of the agency, or because a successful appeal was reversed by a higher court. ..."
