1945

Here is one more sequel to the special sports issue back there in March. You may recall reading there of CharlieHolt's induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame. The new news is that Charlie is being further recognized with a Wall of Fame in the athletic complex in Durham, celebrating his 18 years of outstanding coaching at UNH. The wall will carry a big picture of Charlie with team photos of UNH hockey squads.

Back to the Hanover hockey scene. ScottParrot thought that Eddie Jeremiah deserved more recognition than he received in that earlier column. Charlie Cashin was briefly quoted there in tribute to Jerry. But Charlie also told a story that didn't quite fit—about a freshman experience scrimmaging head down around varsity defensemen. "Jerry set up defense to knock me into the rafters, which they did so well. As I was clearing my head, Jerry said to me, 'Now you know what look up means.'" Charlie says that lesson surely helped him in 1946 varsity play. Scott visits Jerry's grave whenever he gets back to Hanover, to see the crossed hockey sticks and "Look up, keep fighting" on his headstone.

Scott recalls Bob Vieres, the little guy who coached boxing and put on the intramural fights. Under his watchful eye, JimRodney and Scott fought each other, 147-pound class, three rounds. Each thought he had won. Parrot now concedes. Scott has recently given up sky-diving, concentrating on flying his vintage 1930s Piper aircraft, a "new" one in Vero Beach for winter and another in Plymouth, Mass., for summer.

Dr. Dave Kirkpatrick was honored with the Champion Award from the Healthy Communities for Western Pennsylvania program. He was a founder and serves as medical director of the Meadville Area Free Clinic. He received recognition "for having made a difference in improving community health through great personal commitment and leadership."

Warren "Jug" Agry received the Deerfield Academy Alumni Award at its 1997 bicentennial convocation, honoring him for his long-term support, including outstanding fundraising and reunion leadership. Rick Crabtree is vice president, regional operations, for The Education Project, an entrepreneurial company that will address the need for alternative school funding. Planned for launch next year, its goal is to attract private investment which will be channeled directly to classrooms where the need and benefit are greatest.

In the continuing education department, Dartmouth Alumni Colleges Abroad keep attracting '45s. Bud and Alberta Elder, previous DACA devotees, are booked this year for a spring week in the Yorkshire Dales of England and a fall week in the Norwegian countryside, to experience local lore and culture. Chad Ramsdelland Barbara, now married nearly two years, will be participants in the Yorkshire program. DACA are great experiences; consider those announcements.

Frank Aldrich continues his banking forays into the Caribbean and Latin America on an unpredictable schedule but hopes to make the fall mini.

Fred Chamberlin writes from Lima, Peru, that he and his wife, Maria AliciaRenteria, a native of that city, are extremely happy together there. Their postal address (available from ARO) is temporary and complicated, but try e-mail

Andy Scott recommends the two-week freighter trip he took out of Tahiti to the Tuoamotus and the Marquesas Islands. In May he is touring in Alaska with his son. Home, whether he is there or not, is still Chapel Hill, N.C. You can e-mail him at .
