Class secretary Rosalie Cutter has given me, Craig Cain, permission to submit these notes for this issue of DAM. The subject is future obituaries of class members.
Currently, when I hear of a classmates death, I notify Michelle Brown, Alumni Records Office, (603) 646-2253. She has other sources, so frequently she already knows of the death. She sends a file, including available obits and honors, to Theresa D'Orsi at DAM. After Theresa is certain of the death via Michelle's office, she forwards that packet to me. I cannot submit anything until I receive that packet as a confirmation of death. I then use that information, plus other sources I have collected from the class activities, to prepare the obits I have written for the last 15 years. That obit is then posted at the magazines website, www.dartmouthalumnimagazine.com and is available indefinitely in the online archives.
Since February i my personal condition suggests that I might not be able to continue to fulfill my position as necrologist. In the absence of a replacement, I suggest that anyone who wants to prepare any information on a classmate's death first contact Theresa at classnotes@dartmouth.edu or (603) 646-3086 to discuss submission for the website.
