1951

A nice benefit of this job is the extra motivation it provides me to return to Hanover each fall for our annual mini-reunion and class executive committee meeting. As always, Loye Miller and Henry Nachman's flawless arrangements made the weekend a breeze and a delight for all of us out-of-towners.

The Claytons have sold their house in nearby Grantham, New Hampshire, and will soon move to Maine.

It was a treat to see Dotty Mori (West Lebanon, New Hampshire). She joined 50 classmates and guests for our mini-reunion dinner. She reported with pride that her and Als grandson Alberto has come to Dartmouth from his home in Italy and is a starter on the soccer team as a freshman.

Parke Sickler's attendance pleased us all. He has made a marvelous recovery from last summer's stroke. I'm betting that Parke (Brevard, North Carolina) holds our class record with six great-grandchildren!

We report the recent deaths of Earl Brabb, John Hatfield and Dick Price. Our class was represented at John's service by Howard Fuller, Herm Christensen and George Bikle. Howard (Claremont, California), a retired United Church of Christ minister and John's Dartmouth roommate and fellow glee clubber, officiated. Len Smith (Los Gatos, California) spoke at the service for Earl, his long-time close friend.

Obituaries for these and all other deceased classmates can be found on our class website ( www.dartmouth.edu/classes/51) and will also appear in Dave Batchelder's newsletter.
