1957

Pete Wardle reports, "A '57 mini-reunion was held at the Bohemian Club in San Francisco on June 9. Nine classmates plus spouses and friends enjoyed the fine food and ambiance of the spacious club dining room. Peter Wardle and Jay Greene organized the event. The Bohemian Club facilities were made available through Jay's sponsorship. Attending were Ted and Lois Everett, Jody Wardle, Joe Conley and Debra Finley, Dan and Kathi Searby, Martin Anderson, Jim Nevitt, Keith Marks, and Peter Nieman. It was a beautiful evening greatly enjoyed by all attendees. Already we are talking about another get-together for '575."

Sixteen people gathered at the homes of Ann and George Johnston and Laura and Herb Roskind on Martha's Vineyard for a Northeastern mini-reunion in July. The assembled group enjoyed a major cookout and Sunday brunch at George and Ann's and a clambake complete with fireworks at Herb and Laura's. Other activities included bike riding, tennis at the East Chop Club, beaching, and catching up. The group included Clark and Happy Griffiths, Jack and Liz Cramer, Dave and Joan Thompson, Adam Block, Chris and Joan Weber, David Cook, and Celeste Hartwell. I was sure sorry to miss this one on my old haunt of Martha's Vineyard, and I hope they'll do it again.

Now foryour last-minute invitation to our largest mini-reunion of all, Homecoming Weekend. This October 20-22 is the 100th anniversary of Dartmouth Night, and we'll be hard-pressed to top last year's attendance of 48 for dinner plus a few others who made it to other functions. Please help us further swell the ranks of the Friday night parade kicking off at 7 p.m., followed by ceremonies and bonfire, and at the class meeting 9:30 Saturday morning, cookout lunch at 11:30, football vs. Colgate at 1:30, cocktails at 5:00, and dinner at 7:00 at the Norwich Inn. On Sunday morning the Griffiths have again invited us for breakfast at their house at 9 a.m. I hope a large group of readers will be there. Bob Marchant wrote a good letter saying, "A few words in response to your Alumni Magazine plea for more info. On my way to L.A., I dropped in to see Skip Bohn in Minneapolis. Skip took the day off to show me the town. He knew where the big mall was and where the Timberwolves play but had to ask Judy how to get to the Guthrie Arts Center and the sculpture garden. Skip is a Rotarian, so naturally we hit the Rotary luncheon. At the door I was asked if I could provide any stories about Skip to be used in the introduction. Discretion prevailed. I said no. For all who haven't seen Skip in a while, he hasn't changed a bit. He lived up to his reputation and was the last to turn in."
