1952

Our 70th reunion, held in Hanover during the extended weekend of September 18-20, is now in the history books. We had some 35 to 40 classmates and widows signed up for the three-day event along with some 30 additional spouses, partners, offspring, and friends—a total of about 65 people. This is very respectable, considering our age group and the impact ofthe pandemic on many of our gatherings. We’re talking in generalities here because the reunion took place after this publication went to print and our final attendee list might have changed. We don’t want to have to advise you in a future report that John Doe didn’t make it after all because his Packard broke down on Route 5 in Brattleboro, Vermont. The reunion agenda, planned by the College and our chairman, Gene Cesari, with the assistance of our class president, Frank Logan, was perfect for this class. We got caught up on Dartmouth development of academics and the physical plant, enj oyed learning from students about college life today, and hearing from our legacy football coach, Buddy Teevens ’79. We also did a little or a lot of reminiscing about our connections to each other and to the College, enjoyed the luxury and good food of the Hanover Inn, and paid our sincere respects to classmates who have passed on. The memorial service included, by the way, 28 classmates who attended our 65th reunion in 2017—too many losses. At the class meeting the new officers were selected and financial reports were updated. All of this, plus photos and other class news, is reported in the class newsletter. The classes of 1947 and 1957 joined us for this most delightful visit to the campus and it was a wonderfully planned kickoff to the fall season. Now, ever the optimist, onto the 75th in 2027! We are sorry, however, to report the loss of seven additional classmates. They are Kenneth R. Johnson, Kenneth G. Arico, John D. Flitner, John W. Collins, Edward I. Lyon, Jr., Martin R. Yarvis, and Richard M. Bressler. Remembrances, as you recall, are published in the online edition. —William Montgomery, 11 Berrill Farms Lane, Hanover, NH03755; (603) 643-0261; wmontgod52@ aol.com
