We promise you an unforgettable experience: the thrill of seeing the old place, meeting up with friends and doing things together, jammed into four days of food, music, sports and stimulating programs. Two must-do seminars are "Retirement—What's the Deal?" conducted by Jim Bell, philosophy professor, athlete and bon vivant, and "Estate Planning" by Thomas Lockerby, Dartmouth's director of gift planning. To get the latest on Dartmouth, you can query President Wright at a special Spaulding Auditorium Q & A. In another program, iconoclastic author and TV journalist John Merrow, whose January New YorkTimes article analyzes "education-speak," will give a multi-media presentation on "Education in America—How Much Do We Really Know? For the space agers, "Star Gazing' at Shattuck Observatory or 200 Wilder Hall (remote) is scheduled. Tying it all together at our climactic class dinner, English professor Donald Pease, a distinguished scholar and popular speaker on the alumni tour circuit, will address the "Great Issues Confronting Dartmouth's Presidents from Dickey to Wright." Be prepared for laughs with Big Apple Circus Ringmaster Paul Binder, who will be our toastmaster for the evening. Even as you nourish your mind, you can stay in shape with two running/walking events, great mixed doubles tennis, men's and women's golf at the Hanover Country Club, biking, canoeing and kayaking in Quechee and the ever-popular fishing contest hosted by our own grizzled raconteur and outdoorsman Dave "The One That Got Away" Schaefer. Hungry? Enjoy sumptuous dining under the stars at the Bema and on Baker Lawn and indoors at the McLane Family Ski Lodge, where the coveted Soaring Pine Awards honoring high-achieving '63s will be announced. Nonstop music for all tastes will include the Alumni Glee Club and University Chorus of the Upper Valley directed by Orton H. Hicks Jr. '49 and H. Bernard Ernst at Hopkins Center; Reminisce, a 1960s South Providence rock and do-wop group recruited by Steve Lewinstein; and the lively Dartmouth Ares, a barbershop a cappella act that will sing Dartmouth and familiar tunes at the new Novack Cafe in the Berry Library, named for its major donor, Ken No vack, who recently gave away his daughter, Kate '94, in marriage to a Yalie at The Four Seasons in New York. Steve Spahn's son, Blake, recently out of Columbia, is engaged to Maryll Field, a Har vard grad.
