Fifty-fours
just keep connecting! Witness the fact that during September and October four
class gatherings occurred.
The
dedication of the McLaughlin Cluster and Goldstein Hall on September 19 drew 19
classmates, including: Bob Adnopoz, Don Berlin, Lo-Yi
Chan, Jay Davis, Pete Geithner, Art Geller, Jerry Goldstein, Lyon Greenberg,
Rick Hartman, John Heston, Tom Kelsey, Peter Kenyon, Dick Lewis,
Dave Mandelbaum, Tom Myers, Dick Page,
Harry Robinson, Norm Veasey and Shelly
Woolf. Judy McLaughlin writes:
“… thank you to the many
generous ’54 classmates who participated in the support and plans for the bust
of David. It is a tremendous gift of friendship, affection and loyalty…David
would have been pleased, honored and most grateful.”
Don Belcher
and Ed Scott organized a Northwest mini-reunion and welcomed Bill
Cohn, Jay Davis, Bob Dean, Ron Dunton, Dana Low, Hugh Nolin, Fenn
Schrader, Bud Siqueland and Lefty Terrill.
The
October NY-Area luncheon at the Yale/Dartmouth Club enabled Pete Barker,
Don Berlin, Dick Davidoff, John Fenn, Art Geller, Jerry Goldstein,
Dave Mandelbaum, Arthur Rauch and me to break bread. Mandy
treated the assemblage to a firsthand report of the September 19 dedication and
Goldie shared great photos of the buildings (yes, including Goldstein Hall).
And then there was Homecoming, and what a
weekend that was! No fewer than 36 classmates and 32 wives and SOs showed up.
Greeted by bright sunshine and warmer than usual temperatures, the annual class
Executive Committee meeting was held Friday afternoon, followed by a cocktail
party at the Hanover Inn and the traditional Dartmouth Night parade and rally in
front on Dartmouth Hall. Saturday morning, Dick Page provided classmates with a
splendid presentation of the evolution of the beautiful bust of Dave
McLaughlin. Capping off a terrific weekend was a wonderful Saturday
night dinner at the Hanover Inn, during which George Shaw became the
proud recipient of a Class of 1954 Award. John Gillespie’s act is a tough
one to follow but John Fenn, mini-reunion chair, proves to be quite up to
the task.

Barbara and Dick Barker, Peggy and Jerry Barton, Don
Berlin, Carol and Rip Coffin, Martha and Jay Davis, Bob Dean, Natalie and

How about that? A total of 54
classmates attended one or more of the four Class of 1954 connecting
opportunities in just a two-month period. Now that’s
really staying connected!
