Happy 45th reunion to the Class, particularly the 80 alumni and 55 spouses who were able to make the event June 15 - 18 in Hanover. We lucked out with the weather with the middle two days of the reunion blessed with blue skies and 70 degrees Our thanks to the Reunion Committee chaired by Tom Spangenburg, and included Bill Lewis as Treasurer, Dave Hewitt as liquids chair ( unlike the 40th reunion, we had quite a bit of wine to return - are we slowing down?), myself as foods guy, Fran Hanlon as entertainment czar, Rick Isaacson as souvenir man, and Ed Williams overseer. Those returning had a choice of many great activities, but the most available were the lectures put on by the Dartmouth Alumni College at Reunion. These lectures by great Dartmouth professors were on a variety of subjects from Iran, to Evita, global warming, the economy, and 3D archaeology. These lectures are available for replay at www.dartmouth.edu and look for "ACE on Audio." The food catered by the Hanover Inn was tasty and well served. Bob MacArthur and Pete Luitwieler prepared a very moving Memorial Service when we remembered the 71 classmates who have died. Tuesday evening of reunion we shared with the classes of 1969 and 1974 the sounds of the "Flash Cadillac" group, one of the best bands of the '60's music." A rave. A class panel discussion put on by Brad Evans, Bill Neukom, and Ron Schram on events at the College was particularly interesting given the retirement of President Wright and the election of James Kim. The final dinner set outside at Haldeman Hall featured an auction of Dartmouth memorabilia assembled primarily by Bob Bartles. Through his efforts [a large amount was raised. The class meeting saw the retirement of Ed Williams as President and the election of Ron Schram as his replacement. Please see our class web site for the list of new officers. We gave Ed our best congratulation for a job well done and for keeping us "in a class by itself." Sabin Danziger and his great fund raising committee made up of Steve Stein, Alan Woodberry, Roy Lewicki, and Pete Luitwieler announced we had broken the 45th reunion giving record with $1,764,000. Great job. And last, but not least, Ron Schram announced that Fritz Corrigan, Glenda, and family had made a very substantial gift to Dartmouth to enhance undergraduate leadership initiatives led by the Rockefeller Institute. Thanks Fritz and Glenda. Truly generous. As a final note, Phil Schaefer is now your new secretary. Many thanks to all of you who have so generously given me time and information to put together these class columns. I know you will give your continued support to Phil. Until our 50th - Hunt Whitacre, class secretary.
