Our registration fee for all the offerings is only $400. Sign up now and tell your friends to sign up too!
More Reunion details, this from Ron Wybranowski: Just in case you forgot what a nice art show we had, you can click on: The format and presentation of the show will remain the same. Here are the highlights: If you participated in the 50th Art Show, we hope you will do so again this year. Regards, Frost Student Art Contest: In another 55th reunion celebration, Vic Rich and Pete Bleyler have created an art contest for Dartmouth Student with cash prizes for the winners. Twenty-eight students have submitted sculptures paintings, and drawings of Robert Frost that will all be displayed during our reunion.

Last November in Kenya visited an old high school buddy, a retired naval carrier pilot on disability who went there 15 years ago for a reunion and, while there, walking down the street, hit his head on a sign. Lady doctor came to his rescue and, long story short, they married (he had never tied the knot), have a beautiful home there, and two boys in school—an 11th grader who is class pres and captain of the futbol team, plus a second grader... Life begins at 77!!!
Why Kenya?? We have two guests that were both born there of Swedish Lutheran Missionary parents, came back to Gustavus for college, and have been coming to Maplelag for over 30 years. One is now head of IT at Gustavus (where my daughter went to college) and the other owns 3 banks in Minnesota. They said: Jim, try Kenya; and I did some five years ago, and loved it. Wild West for sure, and not for everyone, but more than exciting. |

In the race to set records for the class participation rate in the Dartmouth College Fund, Co-Head Agents Eberhardt, McArt, and McKee send word that our class is currently in second place among all classes for participation at about 50% but no class has a higher goal than our 80% so get your gifts along to Hanover. Bartlett Tower chairs Damon and Palin's Hanover support person, Julie Hinman has prepared another graphic representation on our class effort to achieve 55 participants by our reunion. For the DCF, we need your dollars now. For the BTS the dollars flow after you are dead; you won't miss them. Here's news on another campus landmark: MEANING:
That's about it. Hie thee to Hanover. Special groups Wednesday aft: Football - 1:00-3:00 at Floren, Rugby 4:00-5:30 at The Corey Rugby Clubhouse.
