1932

We all have been honored by the College. Dartmouth "recognizes with deep appreciation the extraordinary achievements of the class of 1932...Year in and year out, the venerable class of 1932 has distinguished itself by its spirit, vitality and continued support of one another and the College.

"It has always been superbly led and been noted for its vision and innovative and worthwhile projects. This year the class celebrated its 70th reunion, and, true to form, 1932 set an impressive record for attendance—18 classmates and 26 guests. The class also contributed more than $102,787 to the Dartmouth College Fund. In light of this wonderful display of loyalty and love for the College and its long history of achievements, Dartmouth is delighted to present the class of 1932 with this special recognition award."

This was accompanied by signatures including that of President James Wright. A lesser honor on page 16 of "Campus Guide, Dartmouth College 2002-2003" (did you get one?) is a reproduction of a badge: Dartmouth 1932 65th reunion. 65th?

Lacking any letters from you, I'll use one from me. I'm not quite housebound because of: (1) treadmill and exercycle three days a week at the hospital's cardiac rehab; (2) walking in the neighborhood the other four; (3) weekly men's lunch group, pretentiously named International Club of Carmel, with past members from Canada, Germany and China, and specializing in pleasant camaraderie; (4) appointments with the cardiologist, internist, ophthalmologist, urologist, dermatologist, orthopedist and dentist. You?
