1935

I just heard from Ada Laurie Bryant, widow of our own F. Leonard Bryant, once our class president, whose son Robert was class of ’66 and daughter was a graduate of Smith who spent her junior year at Dartmouth-another daughter who was in College before it became coed. Jane Bryan Quinn was the first of the children of alums to address the reunion gathering. She was a financial columnist and a book author. Ada, who has remarried, thanks me for keeping the good memories alive. How nice! Thank you, Ada.

Received another e-mail from Nichola Tucker ’08 thanking me for what she considers a beautifully written article in the May/June Class Notes, which she has passed on to some friends as recommended reading. Thank you, Nichola. You do not really appreciate a sense of what is important in life until you can share that feeling and pass it on.

Everyone here in California who I have spoken to about my new political party, We Listen, has enthusiastically joined up. How about the rest of you out there?

The amazing Dartmouth Club of Orange County threw a barbecue for new Dartmouth students hosted by Mabelle and John Hueston, both class of ’86. Do yourself a favor and join your nearest alumni club.

The class of ’35 survives: Ed Reich, Irv Sager, Bert Jacobs and yours truly are still hanging in there.
