1939

Since our last column the class has suffered two deaths. Stan Beskind died on March 21 and John Steele on June 13.

We heard from Jim Donovan in response to a birthday greeting. He says he and Kay keep busy reading, gardening and engaging in a few hobbies. This past November Dr. Morris Seligman had a fall down his stairs, which resulted in cracked ribs. He is reported recovering nicely. Ken Ritchie sends congratulations to Peg and Rog Stanwood for their great idea to help Alzheimer's patients. Ken reports that his wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in November of' 99 and he wishes that they had that kind of care available in eastern Massachusetts. The Ritchies live at 244 Goodman Hill Road, Sudbury, MA 01776.

The peripatetic Bob Clymer, if plans matured, experienced some fishing time in Argentina this past summer.

Doris and Jim Corner took off for their annual family visit to Vancouver, British Columbia, in June.

At our May executive committee meeting President Hanna circulated a letter he had received from the stewardship office of the College. It gave a brief rundown on the eight scholars from last year who continue to succeed academically and to demonstrate financial need. All are under the wing of the 1939 scholarship for the 'O1-02 year. Also mentioned were two graduates who enjoyed our scholarship. Amanda Thrall 'OO earned a 3.2 grade point average and graduated with honors. Shaun Gee 'OO earned a 3.0 grade point average in a double major in biochemistry and molecular biology. He is the only basketball player in Dartmouth history to score 1,500 points and 600 rebounds. Currently he is playing professional basketball in Europe.

From the editor of this magazine comes word that the January/February 2002 issue will focus on Dartmouth's special places. Through a collection of anecdotes and reminiscences by alumni, faculty and students, he hopes to document the "sense of place" that the College has long"enjoyed in the hearts and minds of its graduates. So drop us a line with your special place on the campus and we'll include it in our Notes.
