1955

The ides of April brought not only April showers and taxes, but also a sit-in of President hanlon’s office by student protestors. One result has correctly been a call to action by President hanlon in “moving dartmouth forward” to end sexual assault and attitudes that foster extreme behavior on campus. a series of “campus conversations” is under way to address these matters. One hopes this will not result in endless committee meetings and pious pronouncements but with substantive action and strict penalties.

We traveled to Arizona in March and were able to spend a delightful afternoon with George Snelson in Prescott. George is mostly retired now. He attends to some family business mat- ters after taking care of the super sudoku every morning. We lunched at a cool arizona watering hole with appropriate beverages. George asks to be remembered to all you classmates out there. Also traveling was Bob Fanger, for some skiing in Vermont. He visited with Ruth and Dick Blodgett in Hanover and dined with the Kathy and Larry Pilchman at their new home in Grantham, New Hampshire, on the way back to Boston. He then made a trek down to New York City and visited with Pat and Bernie Siskind.

the north Carolina ’55s had their spring mini in Statesville, North Carolina, on April 11, hosted once again by Mary and Jon Anderson, who will be doing some extensive traveling this sum- mer for weddings of grandchildren. the group included Dave and Jane Conlan, Ken and Kathy Lundstrom, Tom and Sharon McGreevey, Dave and Betsey Miller.

The memorial service for Harry Ambrose on March 26 at a packed church in Williamsburg, Virginia, was at once caring, thoughtful and up- lifting—a true celebration of harry’s life. Poignant memories were shared by harry’s brother and his and margey’s three daughters. a special, touch- ing memory for us all was the organ softly play- ing “god Bless america” at the recessional and everyone quietly, spontaneously singing along. The class was represented by John Ballard, Dave Conlan, Jack Doyle, Colin Hunt, Swifty Lawrence and Ken Lundstrom.

Sadly we report the passing Tim Hutchinson.
