The Celebration of Bob Callender’s  Beautiful, Beautiful Life

On Wednesday evening , April 16th,  at the express wishes of both Bob and Cathy Callender and their son Will, a large and convivial gathering of Classmates and hundreds of other friends was held at the University Club in New York to warmly celebrate the accomplished and giving life of Bob Callender, whose irrepressible good humor and quick but gentle wit served him and us well for nearly six decades.  His sterling loyalty to Dartmouth and Tuck, most particularly to our Class and to our Classmates, distinguished his exemplary alumnus years.  At what was truly a spirited celebration, our many happy reminiscences of Cal from freshman year onward were enriched by affectionate and moving words from his son Will and a wonderful selection of over a hundred pictures of Bob, his family and friends, screened as a slide show with familiar Dartmouth songs played throughout.  It was a fond farewell to cherish.
