JOIN THE CLASS OF 1966 FOR OUR 60TH REUNION
Beginning on Monday, June 15th a large group of our classmates, many with their Dartmates, will arrive in Hanover to begin celebrating our 60th Reunion. 180 participants signed up as of early May, and Co- Chair Budge Gere expects that the final attendance will be about 200.
There is still plenty of time to sign up and join us! There is no charge for any classmate to attend all, or a part, of the planned events.
To relive our years at Dartmouth, here's the link to watch a nostalgic video put together by Jim Lustenader and Paul Klee.
Budge and Co-Chair Al Keiller have put together a diverse schedule of activities, while reserving plenty of open time to allow informal socializing—and to explore what has changed and what has not on the Dartmouth campus. Among the highlights of the 4-day event are:
- A welcoming reception and dinner at Baker Library
- A tour of the expanded and newly re-opened Hopkins Center
- An open house at Thayer School with Interim Dean & Professor Doug Van Citters ’99 Th ’03 ’06
- A view of the Stefansson Collection in Rauner Library, and of Baker Library in the digital age
- A talk by Professor Adam Breuer ‘09, of the Computer Science and Government Departments
- A college update from President Sian Beilock
- A conversation with Athletic Director Mike Harrity
- A talk by History Professor Matthew Delmont, a prolific author whose new book is titled Until the Last Gun Is Silent: A Story of Patriotism, the Vietnam War, and the Fight to Save America’s Soul.
The Reunion will end with breakfast on Thursday morning, June 18th. That afternoon, classmate John Pearson will host an optional trip along the Connecticut River in his private historic railroad car.
