1942

Seventieth reunion: We will be guests of the College in a few weeks. Many of your classmates have signed up. We hope all will sign up now that you have seen the list in our recent newsletter. As you may know, the Hanover Inn has been completely renovated and we will be among the first to sample the new decor and amenities. For any of you who may be concerned about how you would get around easily, the College has taken that concern away by providing transportation everywhere. Although we will miss having President Kim at our reunion, we will have ample opportunity to see his influence on the campus. On June 6, the anniversaiy of D-Day, the Dartmouth Club of New York sponsored a booksigning event for Dartmouth at War by the class of '42 and Those Who Have Borne the Battle by James Wright, former president of Dartmouth. We had approximately 100 in attendance, including Dick Ensor, Jon Mendes, Jerry Tallmer and yours truly. I read an excellent critique by Ed Chalfant titled, "Why You Should Buy and Read the Book." We sold all copies that we brought. We like to think the class of 42 has started a trend. The class of 1964 is doing a book on Vietnam experiences. We encourage other classes to focus on Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan. We think it provides an important legacy for the College as well as the alumni who served in each. It will demonstrate how each war was viewed. It will preserve forever those who valiantly served and died. See you September 14! 370 East 76 St., Apt.
