REUNION JUNE 11-14

A cold, snowy night in Hanover? No, it was on New York’s Upper West Side a week before Christmas—but it may as well have been Hanover when 13 classmates, spouses, and guests climbed the small staircase to the Triad Theater to the intimate cabaret, where the indefatigable circus impresario and ringmasterturned-entertainer Paul Binder performed duets with three vibrant, talented female singers, including Petie Subin, wife of Bill Subin, providing a preview of what to expect when she and Paul will perform during our 55th reunion in Hanover June 11-14. The ’63 contingent occupied tables in front ofthe stage, and after the performance we descended to Sevens Turkish Grill belowto talk about our lives and family and reminisce about the Dartmouth days over wine, babaganoush, hummus, chicken Adana, homemade gyros and other delicious plates. Diners included Tom and Connie Clephane (Stamford, Connecticut), Dan and Lee Matyola (Branchburg, New Jersey), Joel Werbel (Warren, New Jersey), Steve Kurland and Erica Goldberg (Framingham, Massachusetts), Bill and Petie Subin (Margate, New Jersey), Harry and Nicole Zlokower (Brooklyn) and Paul Binder and Shelley Doctors (New York City).

In addition to the Binder-Subin performance, the upcoming 55th reunion in Hanover will be filled with activities, including dancing to a Motownband, Gordy and Susan Weir speaking onthe latest diabetes research, a special program for women, Dr. Sam Smith ’58 on “Sex and Aging,” an address by President Hanlon, tours and great dining and socializing, culminating with a class banquet on the Alumni Gym lawn. There is also an optional pre-reunion Saturday and Sunday Moosilauke Ravine Lodge overnight stay and a special post-reunion extension June 15-16 at the Lake Morey Resort in Fairlee, Vermont, featuring a NewEngland clam bake, Texas barbecue, boating, swimming, hiking and golf.

As of December, 60 classmates were pre-registered for the 55th, including Doug Bell, Ted Morehouse, Steve Spahn, Vaughn Skinner, Alan March, Mike Losee, Joel Jutkowitz, Dick Ahlstrand, Bud Bruggeman, Dennis Eagle, Richard Edelson, Bill Hindle, Freeman Ford, Randy Fields and Jim Ferguson.

The annual Tanglewood on Paradeis scheduled for August 6-7, according to mini-reunion chair Sam Cabot. The event includes performances of works by Ravel, Gershwin and Tchaikovsky, reserved rooms at the Seven Hills Inn and class dinners both nights. Check the class website for details.

Having served as class vice president and organizer of many successful mini-reunions, Sam Cabot was nominated by the executive committee in December to be our next class president, succeeding Larry Bailey, who served so well these many years. Other approved officers are Ed Mazer and Dan Muchinsky, vice presidents; Bill Russell, treasurer; and Harry Zlokower, secretary. The nominees would take office, subject to approval of the entire class membership, at the conclusion ofthe 55th reunion in June.

I regret to report the deaths of Robert Wagstaff, Alex Bass and Jon Loomis, which marks 172 classmates reported deceased, according to numbers provided by newsletter editor Dave Schaefer.
