REUNION | JUNE 13-16
All classmates received a reunion flyer titled “Attention on Deck!” in which “the following classmates are making plans for our fabulous 60th reunion!” I feel that this listing is worthwhile repeating for those who set the flyer aside with no further action and those who may not even have bothered to read it.
Those coming include Ash, Bechler, Behrens, Billhardt, Bransten, Bremble, Carleton, Carnell, Chapman, Clowes, Crowley, Davidoff, Devorsetz, Driscoll, Dumont, Faulkner, Faulkner, Fellingham, Fraser, Frazier, French, Friedman, Fridlund, Gordon, Grossman, Haight, Harper, Higgs, Kaplan, Keare, Klapper, Kramer, Kuhns, Liebman, Montgomery, Morrissey, Murray, Nutting, Parke, Peyser, Riker, Rosazza, Rosenwald, Schattman, Shore, Slater, Sokol, Spaulding, Stackpole, Stigum, Talmagni, Weinstein, Whitney, Whittemore, Wood, Worrell and Yeager. That's 57 classmates—56 plus one for good measure. And there are others who have not yet made the list but are definitely coming, such as Bill Loyer. And there are others who have told me in the past that they intend to come, such as Morty Galina, Paul Gingold and Bob Taub. I intend to send an advance copy of this column to those last three via email to remind them that I and many others look forward to seeing them in June.
Happily, there are no deaths in the class to report at this time and thus the potential pool of those who could be coming has not been reduced.
I received a happy New Year email from Don Dillon and looked for his name on the above list. Since it is not there, I urge him to attend. I guess that he also will get an advance copy of this column. To all those who have not been mentioned, I urge you to read my concluding poem and get enthused. Hope to see every one of you very soon. The following is from “At Reunion,” the sixth stanza of a poetic limerick written in 1999.
College setting a scene so serene,
Remembrance of age of 18;
Reminders abound,
Cherished echoes resound,
Dartmouth love, home again on the Green.
