1925

Dartmouth Night, October 16, 1998, was spectacular one of the best ever; not only the weather but the trees, though muted in color, cooperated and the game, though not the best ever played, was exciting with Dartmouth beating Yale 22-19 in a back-and-forth contest.

One of the big highlights of the weekend was the fun party given by Rad Tanzer and his charming wife, Sheila, in their beautiful, newly decorated home and garden. LarryLeavitt, also there, accompanied by his grandson Larry H. Leavitt '81, was in his usual form and fall of wonderful stories of the class. Young Larry is a trustee at Vermont Academy, where, as everyone knows, our Larry was headmaster for years. Also at Vermont Academy is Asa Palmer (grandson of Henry Crawford), who is currently a teaching intern and basketball coach. We all missed Ellie Norris, our class treasurer, who had planned to be at Rad's but had to leave right after the game to return to New London to help with a church supper busy lady! Rad showed us the painting of Lake Placid (hanging in his house) that Henry Crawford painted and gave to Rad and Velma for their wedding. Henry was reported to have been colorblind, and his wife helped him choose the actual colors that he had visualized in his mind. What a feat for both of them. Rad and Henry had roomed together at Harvard Medical School. Rad went on to specialize in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, especially hand repair, but then went on to develop an extremely innovative method of reconstructing congenitally deformed ears. For this he was given unusual recognition by his specialist association, being only the second person to receive a standing ovation at the conclusion of his presentation. Rad's basic technique is still in use.

I would love to hear from classmates, relatives, and friends with news and reminiscences.
