1965

It was a great 30th Reunion. More than 80 classmates were in Hanover in June to enjoyperfectweather, serious reflection about the roads we have taken, and plenty of fun and games. Spouses, significant others, and children drove the total to a crowd of more than 175 people. We missed you.

Jack Corneveaux flew in with his son Jason from Park City, Utah, the site of the 2002 Winter Olympics. Jack, as fit and trim as an undergraduate, enjoyed his vegetarian meal as the rest of us pigged out on lobster and steak. He did help himself to a mountain of strawberry shortcake. Ed and Terry Keible flew in from Palo Alto for some give and take. "Fast Eddie" took pictures and donated several bottles of excellent wine to the auction. The wine brought in more than $600 as part of the total of - you guessed it - $6,500.

Jim and Debbie Griffiths did a phenomenal job as co-chairs of the 30th Reunion. After ten years of organizing the best mini-reunions the College has ever known, Jim and Debbie put on a world-championship maxi. For all of his efforts, Jim was allowed to step down from chairing reunions. He was elected to be your class president for the next five years instead. The class will be in good hands as it has been for the past five years under the leadership of Allen Zern.

The Hanover golf course was the site of the "Dartmouth Open." The little round balls flew straight and true (usually) off the sticks of Bill Webster, Dick Bordeau, Jack Heidbrink, and Claude Dick who managed to lose 13 balls while registering 17 birdies (he kept his own score). The first foursome off the tee, Jerry Putnam, Tom Wise, Don Boardman and Allen Zern, showed us the fairways. Spouses joined the fray as Paul andCince Pringle teed off with Kent and LizSalisbury. Pete Baunbusch joined ex-roommate Dick "Punch" Lochridge present roommate (and wife) Cherry, and son Clark for a full round of fan.

I (Jack Heidbrink) have had a grand time writing these columns for the past five years. Thank yon for letting me know what is going on in your life. I am passing the quill to Dick Bordeau for the next five years, and I hope you will do him a big favor. Send him some information. Over to you, Dick.

I (Dick Bordeau) am sure I echo the sentiments of the entire class in expressing our deepest appreciation to Jack for writing the Class Notes over the past five years. Congratulations, Jack, on a job well done!

In order to maintain Jack's high standards, I will need your help. This is your columnmygoal is to make it as interesting and lively as possible. I therefore need NEWS from everyone. Nothing lengthy, just a few sentences on what's going on in your life, roads taken or roads ahead. As we discovered at reunion, catching up with classmates at this stage is not only interesting but fun. SO PLEASE WRITE!

Steve and Linda Waterhouse were responsible for the aforementioned class auction. They did a wonderful job, from setting it up in the 1902 Room to Steve's rather professional rendition of an auctioneer in the class tent that evening as the final items were sold. Brian Walsh's beautiful paintings were among the most sought-after auction items. More on our 30th in the next Class Notes.

Bob Blake reminds me of our mini-reunion October 20-22 (Colgate). As usual, our class activities will be centered at Pierce's. We hope to see many of you there.
