The Class of '51 on the Web
51 OUT!
In case you missed it, the mini-reunion October 17th and 18th was a delight from beginning to almost the end. Although Dartmouth lost in football, the weather was unbeatable and the autumn foliage was the best in years. Of course the highlights were the camaraderie of long-time friends, classmates and spouses and the class' social events.
Batch will have a complete report in the next issue of '51 Fables; we managed to count at least 27 classmates in attendance as well as their better halves. While a number of digitally literate participants took photos, the first batch may be accessed by clicking on http://picasaweb.google.com/albrout. You'll be able to see your indefatigable Newsletter Editor and tractor driver trying to coax his John Deere into first gear to highlight the first annual '51 hay wagon parade (and possibly the last) up Main Street on Dartmouth Night. See how many of your classmates you can recognize without peeking at the names underneath.
Save the Date: Those who attended previous mini-reunions in Washington, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Chicago will attest to what memorable events those were. While they were hard to top, Howie Allen and Henry Nachman have managed to create a schedule for Boston that promises to do just that. The dates are April 22d to 26th and it would be wise to pencil it in to your 2009 calendar now. You of course will be receiving detailed information on what promises to be the Class Mini, if not of the century, certainly of the decade.
The Executive Committee at its Fall 2008 meeting decided to have our 2009 Hanover mini-reunion the weekend of October 3d. While not during homecoming weekend, Dartmouth will be playing Penn in football and the warmer weather will allow more of us to make the trip. Also many more venues will be available for us on campus. It should be a great '51 weekend.
Those of us who were lucky enough to attend our 55th Reunion in June 2006 agree that it was one of the best ever. I took 99 photos and they're online now through Google's Picasa where they should be easily accessible. Added to this batch are 11 photos taken by Paul Simel; click on this link: http://picasaweb.google.com/albrout. I suggest you use the middle-sized icon in the upper right corner to read the many incorrect captions which you can't see if you view the pictures in the slide show mode.
