And, with expressions of interest, we can arrange small group dinners, theater tickets and tickets to sporting events. The cost for the tour and reception is $100 per person. Details of the activities are still being developed and will be provided as they are completed. A limited number of spaces are available for this incredible opportunity. Please RSVP to Howard Sharfstein (howard.sharfstein@srz.com or mail to Howard at Schulte, Roth & Zabel, 900 Third Avenue, New York NY 10022 ), and indicate whether you will definitely attend and whether you will be accompanied by your wife or partner; are likely to attend and be accompanied, are unlikely to attend or definitely will not.
Class of 67 Completes Great Year! Our Great Class of 67 has just completed an outstanding year in the period July 1, 2010 to June 30 2011. We held five well-attended mini-reunions, supported a large number of important projects, published our maximum quota of newsletters and Dartmouth Alumni Magazine columns, increased the number of dues payers and check-off contributions, grew the Treasury, began planning for the 45th and 50th Reunions and had a great time doing all of the above and more.
67' Website – New and Improving The Great Class of ’67 website was re-launched in 2009, and we have now had the time and experience to understand what 67’s like about it, and what more they expect. The good news is that the website is reasonably well visited – an average of 20 unique hits a week, many using search terms that tell us classmates are looking for specific information about upcoming class events, and other classmates (and sometimes even their significant others).
Links: We have created a new section on this Home Page (just above the Class Archives) of links to major Dartmouth news sources. Updating: We have set up a new process for getting periodic information from our Class Officers and the members of the Executive Committee who manage our Class projects. You will start to see their updates soon, either on the Home Page or by clicking on the tabs at the top of the Home Page. You will also begin to see regular updates as we move towards the 45th Reunion and plan the 50th. Each will have their own tab at the top of the Home Page and, of course, important news will be here. We have begun posting the Class Newsletter to the website as soon as it comes off the printing press. We are looking to assigning someone to cover the campus for us, and who can post updates to the Home Page as news warrants. Interactivity: The blogs work. They are easy to use. We password protected this section to avoid spammers. Everyone in the Class has the same password. If you need it again, e-mail Sam or Krisa and it will be sent to you immediately. We are looking at ways to put an email link into the stories, so that if you want to email a classmate mentioned in an article, all you will have to do is click and your email program will open up. We are also studying ways to put in secure transactional capabilities for payment of Class dues and Reunion fees. The link we have just added to the Dartmouth College Fund is secure. This is your website. Please use it. Please let us know what you think about the improvements. Please let us know what else you would like to have.
67' BLOGS ARE ALIVE! READ AND POST! It’s still about us. It's about what we love, what we like, and what we don't. It's about what we do, what we won't do, and what we don't do anymore. It's about growing old, staying young, and knowing where and who we are. It's about what we have in common and what makes us unique and what we expect from ourselves and from each other. We’ve added a lot of new features – lots of history, archives of our Dartmouth Alumni Magazine columns, frequent updates about 67 news and events and reports from Class officers. The best new feature is our state-of-the-art 67 BLOGS. Here you will be able to post news about yourself, read the postings of our classmates and engage in discussions about College, Class and life issues. 67 BLOGS is password protected for security.

The minutes of the meeting may be found by clicking the link here or going to the From the President Page. 45th Reunion – October 11 – 14, 2012 The Great Class has spoken and the vote was overwhelming for the Dartmouth tradition 67 truly started – an October Reunion! Our 45th will be held in the Hanover area on October 11-14 2012. The theme is “Target 50th – Be healthy and happy until 67’s 50th and beyond.” Alumni Council Report Fall 2011: Just back from Hanover and the Alumni Council meeting which occurred over December 1 – 3. John Manaras, as a former councilor, also attended the entire meeting. The summary which follows will appear in only slightly altered format both in the Class Newsletter (expect a magnum opus from Bob Burka soon in hard copy through the mail) and on the Class website. An “official” summary of the meeting, prepared by Alumni Relations, will be made available, but not for a while. The link to the official summary will appear on the website. Items covered during the December 1 – 3 Alumni Council meeting included the following:
These are, admittedly, “snippets” and meant to prompt engagement. If you have questions or would like to discuss any of these topics or other subjects related to the College, I welcome your contacting me, preferably by email at rkugler@archerlaw.com or, even better, talking to me and the rest of your Classmates through the blog on our Class website!

Class of 1942 World War II Memorial Book In January, we were approached by Leo Caproni of the Great Class of 1942 about his Class’s project to create a book memorializing their participation in World War II, with letters, photographs, transcribed oral histories and other mementoes. When we sent out a note to 67’s, John Manaras let us know that he had been working with the Class of 42 on the legal issues, and he knew how much a donation from 67 would do to allow them to complete the project. With two weeks, we raised over $2,700, which Leo let us – and the College – know made completion of the project possible. He sent us the following note: “There is probably no adequate way to thank an individual or a group of classmates for their combined interest and loyalty shown by the Class of 67’s generous gift of $2725 to our WWII Project. However, we want all of you to know the entire living members and widows of our class of 1942 are deeply indebted to the unselfish assistance you have made to our project. “ At a Dartmouth dinner in New York in April, Sam Ostrow and Rich Paolino visited with Leo and his wife, who told us “it would not have happened without ‘67” with tears in their eyes. Brought tears to us as well. If you would like to contribute to this project (and all of our parents were of that era as well), please send a check payable to Dartmouth Class of 1967 for any amount, marked Class of 1942 project, to Rick Geissinger, ’67 Treasurer, c/o American General Finance, 601 NW 2d Street, Evansville, IN 47708 Class of 67 2011 March Newsletter
