Thanks to the hard work of Ron
Wybranowski, we now have a Class of 1961 Website, with lots of exciting features,
including a bunch of pictures from our Chicago reunion. You can find the Website at http://www.dartmouth.edu/alumni/classes/61/.
Your class officers want to use both the new Website and your permanent Dartmouth e-mail
address to communicate with you. Please respond to the College’s request, and submit
your everyday e-mail address as the bridge from your Dartmouth e-mail address. That way,
mail addressed to your permanent Dartmouth e-mail address will automatically reach you.
Also, we’re building an e-mail class directory on the Web site, so send your everyday
e-mail address to Ron at ronwybo@ultranet.com
A reminder: our fall mini-reunion, Oct. 17-18, features Football Coach John Lyons as our
Saturday dinner speaker at the Sumner Inn in Hartland. Make your reservations NOW. For a
room, call the Airport Economy Hotel. It’s during leaf season, which puts motel space
at a premium. For details, see last month’s magazine or the Website.
Now, as promised, some more notes from Chicago:
"This is the first Dartmouth reunion I’ve attended, ever (37 years) and
it has been a wonderful, educational and eye-opening experience," said Tim
Grumbacher. "Classmates I never said more than hi to in four years at Dartmouth
have discussed our life’s challenges and where we think we want to go. This reunion
is about 58-59 year olds discussing what life is all about."
"It was very flattering and our honor to have great/best friends and classmates come
to Chicago and ‘renew’ and ‘redirect’ relationships," said Cleve
Carney. "I am very enthusiastic about our new class project to endow a fund for
the Dartmouth arts community and endorse it 100%."
Alan Hale reported he is assistant prosecutor for Logan County, Ohio, working as
juvenile prosecutor and attorney for County Children’s Services. "Nine-year-old
son Victor keeps me active in school, Cub Scouts and plenty of camping and fishing."
"Still working as a radiologist but contemplating retirement," said John
Edwards. "My golf game needs full-time work." Also contemplating retirement
was Dave Cook, who has been selling wholesale hardware supplies in Grand Rapids,
Michigan. "I plan to wind down out of the rat race in the next 2-3 years."
And while Bill Glenn reported he is still active in his commercial roofing and
sheet metal company, "We are hoping to be more North and South so if you are near
Door County Wis. or Sanibel, Fla, let us know. We would love to host ‘61s
anytime."
"My small consulting firm of 15 professionals was acquired by Coopers &
Lybrand in 1997 (75,000 people) and now is part of Price Waterhouse Coopers (140,000
people) – just a little change!," said Class Vice President Roger McArt.
"We’ve started spending more time, during the summer (and off season) on
Martha’s Vineyard, where we recently bought a summer cottage. Let us know if you are
near the Cape and come see us."
I would be remiss if I did not extend, for the class, our thanks to Cleve Carney and Mardi
Glenn, the primary organizers of our Chicago reunion.
