A myriad of special 1948 activities of note! (including a list of classmates deaths)
Reports are also covered on the Minutes, Giving,Projects
and College pages
including some of monthly luncheons and display of classmates lost since January 1, 1998
Monthly Luncheon Reports for:
July 5, 2011
There were only five of us at
this meeting: John Hatheway, Bud Gedney, Bud Munson, Bill Scott and
Pete Foster. Agenda items included: Class goals for the Class
Activity Report, Memorial Bench Inscription, cost reduction
possibilities for the next Newsletter submitted by Ray Richard, end of
fiscal year Financial Report from Foxy Parker, the final Dartmouth
College fund Report from Warren Daniell, head Agent at over $44,000,
10% above our goal and a letter from Harry Sheehy, Director of
Athletics, that the Class Endowment Fund for the benefit of our
Scholar-Athletes Award project had grown to $17,000 which should
probably allow our normal $500 gift to the Athletic Sponsors Program be
incorporated as a second beneficiary. This will be discussed in
August. For DCF history see below.
Bud Munson reported on the cost savings meeting he a Ray had
with Alumni Relations and Goal suggestions in addition of retaining our
Class 70% participation in the DCF. Pete is to poll the Executive
Committee on wishes for the inscription to the Memorial Bench plaque. See what progress can be made by even a small group from a very small Class.
By Pete Foster
June 2, 2011
Meeting items included a report on the DCF by Warren Daniell over the objective $40,000
Ray Richard reported on the DAM and Newsletter mailing list reductions in progress for Fall.
Patsy Fisher had e-mailed on crime and liability insurance; Foxy Parker had attended to this.
Newsletter timing with no intern available in the Summer will mean a Fall issue after our Mini.
Dartmouth is reported leading effort by 12 colleges on the binge-drinking problem in common.
Sports seem to be improving with Dartmouth Rugby winning the Championship game with Army.
Dartmouth night is scheduled Oct. 21,22 this year with tours of the Life Science Bldgs. scheduled.
It's time for the Class Activity Report to be assembled which is a big job and help is requested.
The annual Class Officers Weekend is scheduled for Sept. 23, 24 at which 1948 will be represented.
Other summer activities were note; Dr, Kim with 650 "accepted" students, the Lecture Series, etc.
by Pete Foster
May 3, 2011 SPECIAL by Pete
We started this meeting at 9:00 AM, under the
Chairmanship of Ray Richard, our VP in charge of savings, which
will balance the Class Budget and allow expenses for
Communications with Classmates and a few special projects to continue
as in the past. Joining us in the parlor of the Norwich Inn were Bud Gedney, John Hatheway, Dave Kurr, Bud Munson, Bill Scott and Pat McAllister representing the widows.
We
were making decisions all morning as to which classmates and widows
should be kept on the mailing lists for the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine
and Class Newsletter in accordance with interest shown by each
individual using the following criteria:
* Attendance at a recent reunion
* Contribution to the Dartmouth College Fund
* Payment of Class Dues
* Other evidence of interest in the Class or College
Combined reductions of 126 names from the DAM list
and 77 names from the Newsletter list were recommended which will
be reviewed by the Newsletter Editor and Head Agent before they are put
into effect. It is understood that any name can be added back
upon request.
Other matters discussed included the monthly Financial Report, a format revision of which was requested and will be discussed with Foxy Parker. A possible change of meeting date was rejected. The Fall Mini Reunion plans were reviewed by John Hatheway and
a change to invitations in the July Newsletter thought to be an
interesting and productive step to encourage participation. A DCF
report from Warren Danielle showing
$34,770 from 51% of the Class and 17 widows with 20 former givers yet
to be heard from indicating hope that our goal of $40,000 and 60% would
be reached.
Unhappily, Bud Munson reported the oncoming demise of his twin brother Bob
due to a massive heart attack to which we all raised a glass in honor
of his friendship, loyalty and contributions. Bob did pass away the
next day quite peacefully. Lunch was enjoyed by the seven at our
table and seven ladies in the next room to complete the mission for the
day. See y'all next month.
April 5, 2011 by Pete
Men present were: Bud Gedney, Bill Scott, Bud
Munson, Ray Richard, Barney Hoisington, John Hatheway and Joe Smith who
were glad to see each other after absences due to a hard winter and
some exotic trips abroad and to Florida and Arizona with Warren
Daniell visiting family in Oregon.
Women
outnumbered us by one: Ginny Gedney, Barbara Munson, Marjie Scott,
Ellie Huke, Pat McAllister, Lynn Greene, Anne Foster, Jean Guthrie and
Judy Cross in the next room.
Reports were provided from Dick Dahl working on a May Newsletter, Dave
Kurr our Secretary who has just volunteered to take over the obituary
duties for the College website after the untimely death of Bob
Herrick who had the job, Foxy Parker saying that the bank balance was
just about in the black with two new dues payments and two small
bills paid and Warren who e-mailed that 3/4 of our DCF goal had been
solicited with 13 new donors and 24 last-year givers not yet reporting.
I noted that we had lost 10 classmates in the last year decreasing our
dues and project support potential.
Pat is doing a study of indicated interest by widows through
reunion attendance, gifts and dues paid but who still receive the
Newsletter while Ray mailed classmates to see who was still interested
in receiving the Alumni Magazine. Of 113 replies, 26 indicated no
further interest. He and a small committee have made several suggesions
on budget savings.
Conversation items included College tuition increase of 7% which
possibly tops all others but it seems to be a supply and demand
situation with a very low percentage of applicants being accepted.
Plans
for the next Mini in October were reviewed by John, a travel-study
cruise by Bill, the Civil War 150th anniversary by Barney, NCAA
basketball by all and plans for the installation of a 1948 Memorial
Bench on the new north campus was mentionned. Fine meals with an
enhanced menu and good fellowship were enjoyed by all who are also
looking forward to seeing others here on May 3.
July 6, 2010 by Pete Foster with an Agenda
Pete had been struggling with the expected Class
Activity Report in 12 parts to be completed on-line by month end.
Various aspects were discussed without much enthusiasm generated
in those who were there to enjoy each other, have a Whistling Pig and
choose a delicious lunch from the new menu. The interest on
Pete's part was to impress Alumni Relations with the quality programs
we so diligently pursue, but it was difficult to keep the attention of
the group. He subsequently assigned four of the parts to
appropriate individuals and resolved to invent enough information to
satisfy the
requirements.
Again, the gals outnumbered the guys with 8 including Anne, Ginny, Barb, Jean, Sue (New widow),
Ellie,
Marjie and Pat. The guys present were Bill, Bud, Ray, Warren, Joe
and Pete so they win again by 1 (who was our most regular attendee,
John. (last names omitted for security reasons).
Also discussed were plans for the October Mini, Bob Munson's health, vacations and the DCF.
June 1, 2010 by Pete Foster back from an Elderhostel at Mesa Verde, Colorado
We only had six stalwarts present and were outnumbered by
our women at a separate table who counted seven, but we were glad to
have them participate. (any number of alums or ladies are most
welcome, Norwich Inn, any month) Bud Munson and Warren who often attend were
not there.
It was noticed that so far this
year we have lost nine more of our classmates bringing our total of
those who have indicated continuing interest in the Class down to about
137 or so. Each year we have a decreased number to communicate
with but it is interesting to note that our Widows continue to show an
interest in paying class dues, in support of our continuing projects, and
also participating in the Dartmouth Fund.
Foxy Parker,
our Treasurer, reports a total to date of 128 Dues Payers while Warren
in the DCF Head Agents chair reports 66 classmates and 17 widows
participating through May. He is looking for more from the 18
members who gave last year but not this, so far. Well, they have
a month to go.
The Norwich Inn, for
those who have not been up lately, has built a large addition to their
room capacity out in back of the original building. It is quite
handsome and up to date and, it would seem, would make an
excellent alternative for overnights in the area. The new
Inn management seems to have progressive ideas and are managing
admirably, including the food service.
Our
monthly discussions and reports vary but are interesting and useful in
keeping our Class in the swing of things, up to date, and contributing
to plans for Class and College activities. We would hope that
even more members would make it a point to join the "regulars" for
lunch, a homebrew by the Inn, and good conversation and Dartmouth
spirit whenever it is possible.
Our next Luncheon at the Norwich Inn will be on Tuesday, July 6, 2010
May 4, 2010 by Warren Daniell (Pete on vacation in the great Southwest)
We had a good "First Tuesday" luncheon in the Norwich Inn
with seven classmates (Buds Munson and Gedney, ray Richard, John
Hatheway, Bill Scott, Joe Smith and me). Conversation was wide
ranging - we identified and discussed many ptoblems, both at
Dartmouth and worldwide, but left the solutions to others.
Regarding contributions to the Dartmouth Fund, I took the
job of Head Agent with misgivings but it has turned out to be
rewarding, although time consuming. We have about $37,000 at
present as opposed to a total of $42,000 last year and our
participation is 44% against last year's 52%. Due to new
contributors and many of last years yet to be heard from, I am hopeful
of a good year.
(Warren also reported hope for
improved athletic team results with new President Kim showing interest
in that arena and showing up at games often) As we know, Baseball
is allowing Alums to hold up our heads with the team competing this
month in the "equivalent of March Madness".
Finally, John Hatheway and Ray Richard have made great plans for
our Fall Mini Reunion in October 8-9 which includes a Saturday evening
cookout at the new Dent Cabin on the river. I should be a great
weekend. total of $42,000 last year and our
participation is 44% against last year's 52%. Due to new
contributors and many of last years yet to be heard from, I am hopeful
of a good year.

Pete's Monthly Luncheon Report for January 12, 2010
This was the SECOND Tuesday due to the Norwich Inn being closed on Jan. 6 for vacation.
Seven were there, Ray Richard, Buds Munson and Gedney, Joe Smith, John Hatheway, Bill Scott
and Pete Foster. As usual we first gather in the front room around a coffee table for a "Pig Ale".
A Financial report as of Jan. 6 had been sent by Foxy Parker indicating $2,275 in income vs.
$745 in expenses for mini-reunion mailings and stationery ordered to show new Officers.
Also shown was the new Class Memorial Fund with a balance of $7, 603, about equalling our
checking balance. To date 115 classmates have paid dues and gifts amounting to $5,635.
Warren Daniell had sent in a report on 29 Dartmouth Fund contributions totaling $20,000 toward
a goal for the fiscal year of $50 thousand. So we have six months to work on bring ing in the rest.
Hatheway
announced that, in sports, Football, Hockey and Basketball none were
doing well. A question was raised as to whether Admissions was
cooperating justly with Coaches recruiting efforts toward which we
contribute annually. We certainly back both groups in their
sought goals.
The several years effort for
the Dartmouth Experience Fund has ended with a total of $1.3 billion
which exceeded the goal and resulted in an all Alumni letter of praise
from President Jim Kim. This certainly will provide a welcome offset to
the decrease in value of the endowment funds resulting
from the general economic downturn. Kim has announced the need for resulting budget reductions.
We are represented on the Alumni Council by our own Jim Schaefer and Jay Davis '54. They
have communicated following recent two day meetings, Dec. 3-5 as follows;
1. Dr. Kim has pledged to take whatever action is necessary to balance Dartmouth's budget
over the next two years. I appears that non-faculty staff reductions will be necessary.
2. Nominees are sought for two open Trustee posts in addition to the Council submissions.
3. Alumni Interviewers are needed for a flood of enrollment applicants.
Alumni Relations has submitted lists of our Classmates and Widows by geographic regions
within states as a stimulus to encourage additional Mini Reunions or gatherings elsewhere.
It turns out that our class is well spread across the country, Massachusetts being the only other
area where there is a concentration but where several of our regular luncheon attendees live. So
it does not seem opportune to pursue out-of-state minis. Another in this area in Spring, maybe.
Submitted by Pres. Pete Foster
Warren Daniell's Mini-Luncheon report for August 4, 2009
We had a quiet one Tuesday - only six of us were there (Buds Gedney and
Munson, Joe Smith, Bill Scott, Ray Richard and me). The Gedney, Munson and Scott
spouses did their own thing in an adjacent room.
Perhaps because of the summer heat, business discussions were
light. I noted the receipt of a gift of $300 from Jack Bobbitt's widow, which
she asked be applied to the forthcoming Endowment Fund. (With respect to that,
John Hatheway is still pushing Adam
Keller for advise as to what we must do to formalize the Fund). With that
gift, and a few late dues payments, our Treasury will show a balance of over
$11,000 after all known debts are paid. Plans for the mini are going well, with
Ellie and Nancy Park among those indicating plans to attend. You should all have
received your Schedule and Return Card by now; the sooner you can return the
Card the happier John and I will be.
Much discussion had to do with the burgeoning Canada Goose population in the Upper Valley. Many have tried to solve the problem, but
none have succeeded. Dartmouth's decision to go to Field Turf for its athletic
fields will have the perhaps-unanticipated benefit of being unattractive to
these birds, which is a good thing.
At the Class Meeting October 2, we will vote on updating our Constitution. Pete Foster and Sam
Wilkinson have studied the current one long and hard, and have thoughtfully
identified a number of changes which will be presented at the meeting for a
vote. A copy, noting these changes, is attached; if you can't open it and would
like to see it, let me know by return email and I'll send a copy via USPS. A few copies will also be
available for handouts at the meeting.
Not having heard from President Kim with respect to our invitation to visit
with us at the mini, I stopped by his office after lunch. He not surprisingly
was unavailable, but I did speak with one of his two Administrative Assistants
and left with her a copy of my letter. She told me that his schedule was being
reviewed as we spoke, so the visit was if nothing else timely. Hopefully we'll
hear something soon.
That's it for now...and I hope to all of you in October.

*(Three very special gifts involved)
Bill and Marv report that a total of $863,519 had been given by our class members
over the five year period completed in 2008 including Athletic donations.
Each of these men have worked
hard and effectively for several years and will be hard to match.. Bill has indicated that he feels he
has run the course and wants to be relieved of this important function.
Marv too has indicated he was willing to let a new volunteer take over.
They both
deserve our gratitude.
WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE THAT WARREN DANIELL HAS AGREED TO TAKE ON THIS JOB
You will be hearing from him for Annual Contributions to the Dartmouth fund
Careful analysis of above figures show fewer donors but higher
percent participation over the years. This could be interpreted as
showing that Fund donors live longer than the average class member, we
suppose.?
Our participation rate has held up much better than many classes and
these dedicated guys Bill Scott and Marv Axelrod have inspired us. The
College as a whole is down to 45%. For our class size we have really
shown leadership and devotion in spite of certain dis- enchantment with
the Administration. You will notice, for instance, that the College
details giving sources, dates and amounts but does not provide expense
information or reasons for increasing budgets or even staff numbers. (We
need to know where the money goes).
MONTHLY MINI-MEETINGS at the Norwich Inn, 12:00 noon for lunch and discussion; all are welcome.
And
for those who can join us, the
next luncheon meeting is the first Tuesday each month! Hope to see
some of you then! All Classmates, spouses and Widows are welcome.
In Memorium
The College provided us seventy names and we
updated the
following list of '48 Classmates who have died since January 1, 1998.
We remember them fondly and regret their absence from our midst.
As of mid-July , 2009 it is reported that we have lost a total of 283
classmates since graduation leaving 178. Omissions from this list below should be
reported to PeterBCT@snet.net

DARTMOUTH GRANT
OUTING A very memorable weekend
Special Trip to New
Hampshire's Northern Reaches
A goodly number of stalwart
classmates and companions traveled
to Wentworths Location August 29, 2002 for an overnight at the Second
College Grant which borders Maine and is only a few miles from Canada. Bob
Huke
had made arrangements for the Management Cabin and Sam's Cabin to be
available for our use and enjoyment of the beautiful but rugged
surroundings. Most of the group met at Dunkin' Donuts in Berlin at 10
AM to form the caravan north. The Gedneys, Scotts, Hukes
Greens,
Munsons, Wilkinsons and Fosters were joined by Pat McAllister, Jean
McLaughlin, John Hatheway, John Van Raalte, Bud Elliott, and Bob Munson
for shared meals, hiking, exploring, touring the Grant and exchanging
experiences Thursday and Friday.

Here's a copy of the CLASS of the YEAR
AWARD "IN PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE" received September 18, 1999 in Hanover during the meetings of
Class Officers.
There were higher quality copies handed out as souveniers at the
October ('99&'00) Mini-Reunions.
Although this award says it's for 1999 it
was earned by the
sensational 50th Reunion year of 1998. That year also helped call
attention of the College to the many fine things '48 has done and is
doing. We campaigned for this award and the Class of 1948 well deserves
it. Here, below, is the wording appearing on the above award.IN PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE
Dartmouth College
Recognizes With Deep Appreciation
The Extraordinary Achievements of
The Class of 1948
1999 Class of the Year
The Class of 1948 came together in the autumn of 1944 carrying heavy burdens.
It was the smallest and most diverse class to enter Dartmouth since World War I, and
most of its members were soon scattered to the edges of the globe as World War II still
raged. Despite that fragmentary history, the class has solidified under remarkable
leadership to become a distinguished member of the Dartmouth family.
At its 50th reunion last year, hordes of classmates and their families returned
to the Hanover Plain in droves to renew old acquaintances and cement new ones. The
class’s reunion book was a large compendium of biological sketches submitted by
almost 565 percent of the class. Eighty percent of the class contributed to the Alumni
Fund, a 108 percent increase over previous years.
The class has established its own web site, holds monthly meetings at the
Norwich Inn, and gathers frequently for mini-reunions elsewhere. Nineteen forty eight
has established an athletic award, donated handsome rocking chairs for the porch at
the Hanover Inn, maintains a book display case in Baker Library, and oversees the
maintenanceof the flower garden in front of the Blunt Alumni Center.
For its remarkable renaissance, for its spirit and camaraderie, for its many
contributions to the College, and for its organizational skills, Dartmouth is honored
tosingle out the Class of 1948 for this richly-deserved honor: 1999 Class of the Year.

At our 2002 Annual Meeting a new
project was approved for the Hood Museum which involves sponsorship of
the 1948 Space for Dialogue,
a Student Curatorial Project, which has an exhibit now on display, a
Class Meeting tour stop. You should make a point of seeing it! Class
members are invited to tour the facility where our Project is featured
just inside the main entrance. Interest in this endeavor has
trippled in the past few years.A special Brochure is printed describing each student-designed display.
This carries the acknowledgement "A Space for Dialogue and
this brochure are made possible by a generous gift from the Class of
1948".
A recent development in 2007 was
the establishment of an
endowment by the Class of '67 of $300,000 which should
perpetuate this project but preserve the notoriety for our class, the
initial sponsor. See Class Projects
