Our
50th Reunion Class Book January
2003 Happy
New Year Fellow Classmates:
Preparation is underway for the publication of our 50th Reunion Class
Book and your participation in making it a success, regardless of your plans to
attend the reunion, is important. While the event itself may seem a long way off
(June 2004), we need adequate time to meet projected production deadlines and
finish the book for distribution before the reunion commences.
For those of you who contributed a write-up to the 25th reunion book, "Reflections",
we suggest that you ponder what you wrote back then and send us an update,
covering your life and thoughts for the past 25 years. Write in your own style
and don't hesitate to express yourself on a variety of subjects, including the
Dartmouth of today and your perception of what it might be tomorrow.
If you missed out having a write-up included in "Reflections", or have
only been highlighted briefly in the Class newsletter, this may be your last
opportunity (despite my insistence on wanting to do a 75th reunion book), to
respond to a number of your classmates who may be interested in knowing
something about you and and your life since graduation. Prepare whatever you
think is most appropriate for you and, as a guideline, you might want to look at
some of the entries in you copy of "Reflections" (if you don't have a copy,
contact me for sample pages).
The following checklist will help you in providing the kind of
information that will precede the write-up itself:
- name/nickname
-home(s) address(es) and phone number(s); email address
-spouse (or significant other) name/nickname
-secondary school - postgraduate degrees with dates
-other addresses, with phone/fax numbers
-children/grand/great grandchildrens' names, with ages and
college/university affiliations
-inclusion of a photo (best quality informal close-ups of yourself, with
spouse or the entire family) is
strictly optional, but is suggested as a means of completing
your entry. Black and white or color close-up prints
work best (identify on the back with
a pencil or label). You make the selection, and let us know if we need to return
the photo.
We are fortunate to be able to tap the creative graphic arts talents of
our classmate, Wayne Weil, who will be responsible for all production aspects of
the Book. Please note: your write-up must be submitted in one of two formats:
(1) composed on a COMPUTER - Microsoft Word or similar word
processing software are preferred and may be submitted via email or on a
floppy disk; or, (2) TYPEWRITTEN. Hand-written entries will
have to be returned. Mail optional photo with your hard copy, or separately
if you send entry via email.
Mail your autobiographical information, write-up and photo to:
Wayne Weil, Dartmouth Graphics, 250 West 57th St., Suite 2631, New York,
NY 10107 email
write-up to: wayne@dartmouthgraphics.com
and email
copy of write-up to me at: billwhite54@comcast.net
Please feel free to contact me at any time via email above, phone (973)
379-5123, or by writing: 20 Elmwood Place, Short Hills, NJ 07078.
At the moment, our deadline is tentative. We will have a better handle on
a final date later in the year, and you will be reminded periodically via Pete
Barker's wonderful newsletter. Wayne will need a certain amount of time to
organize the Book before submitting it to the printer later in the year, and
finished copies will be available some time prior to the reunion itself.
Please, however, don't procrastinate. The more people included, the
better the finished product. Thanks, in advance, for your participation - we
look forward to working with you in producing a fitting and lasting memento of
the occasion.
