Get a scissors to cut this out, a pencil to write it down, or start walking over to the copier now. Ready? We'll wait. OK, good.
Here's the official calendar-marking-in-ink word on our 30th Reunion from Reunion Chairman Jack Bennett. We'll reune the weekend of June 13-16, 1996 and we'll be staying right in Hanover, right in a dorm, right in (for the first 100 of us or so) the 50 rooms and 100 beds the college has set aside for our exclusive use.
Helping plan activities for the reunion are committee members Jim Weiskopf ChuckSherman, Peter Pritchard John Rollins, and Robin Carpenter. Rick Kaiser is rubbing up the balls for the golf outing, and Bill Higgins is in charge of the arm-wrestling contest—better known as reunion giving (watch out, he's a seasoned veteran).
The official mailing will go out in the fall with more details, but the date, June 13-16, is firm. And if you've got any thoughts about the reunion, call Jack directly at (202) 366-6222.
And if you can't wait till next June, start packing for the mini-reunion on October 20 and 21—a sure-to-be-beautiful fall football weekend (Colgate) that will include the 100 th Dartmouth Night. Dynamic Class President Bob Serenbetz reports that the pre-game party will be at Paul Doscher's in Norwich and the traditional Saturday night dinner will be at the Norwich Inn. The weekend will also feature the dedication of the class of 1966 scoreboard, which will enhance Memorial Field for years to come. More info on the minireunion and the scoreboard project will arrive this summer, but start making plans to attend.
It rained during Freshman Parents' Weekend in late April. This is the politically correct successor to the ancient Freshman Fathers' Weekend (the temperature dropped to -35° at ours). Spirits were high, and '66 parents were much in evidence. The dads we spotted or heard from, and their '98 offspring: Joe Vogle and Alex; Stu Lollis and Scott; Steve Lanfer and Peter; Halsey Bullen and Diana; Peter Pritchard and Oliver; and our own Maggie. From all reports, all of our kids are enjoying their Dartmouth experience.
Paul Murphy has been there, done that. He had a fall accounting and finance career with GE and other corporations, including ten years in London and Brussels. Along the way, he wrote and published a computer game title. Now he's an administrator for a North Carolina agricultural-supply company. Paul and Tessa's children are busy, too. Thad's a University of South Carolina grad, now an Atlanta consultant; Kevin's a sophomore at Harvard; Gillian, 16, is an accomplished ballerina at the North Carolina School of the Arts; and Tessa's in second grade.
Gerry and Sherri Paul had two important graduations to attend this spring. First the Clinton Commencement in Hanover as Sandy graduated from Dartmouth, and then the Rye, N.Y., high school graduation of Amy, who'll be going to the Wharton School
The rest of the time, Gerry is a senior partner and commercial litigator at the N.Y.C. law firm of Flemming Zulack & Williamson, and he is chairman of the commercial and federal litigation section of the New York State Bar Association. He's also active in Dartmouth alumni interviewing. Sherri is a librarian and adjunct faculty member at Westchester Community College.
