November/December, 2011. Check the Class web page for more details about the 45th class fall reunion planning, class projects, and mini reunions. The 45th will be held in the Hanover area on October 11-14, 2012. The theme is 'Target 50th: Be healthy and happy until '67s 50th and beyond.' Head Agent, John Kornet, reported the class contributed over $183,000 with 48.1% participation. With the reunion coming in the fall of 2012, class goals will be higher. Support for the Dartmouth Partners in Community Service and other class projects like Dartmouth Athletics continues to be enthusiastic. Well done! A recent trip to Washington, DC, enabled me to visit with Wayne Beyer. From 2003 to last year, Wayne served as an administrative appeals judge for the U.S. Department of Labor. He now works as Assistant Attorney General with the DC Office of the Attorney General. Also in Washington, DC, is Tom Peebles, a career attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice. Tom is back from having served as Resident Legal Advisor for Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development, Assistance and Training assistance program in Bulgaria. Tom has specialized in assisting emerging democracies strengthen their criminal justice systems and implement the rule of law. Tom coordinates a book discussion group through his Facebook account; his reviews are insightful. Check them out. Over the past few months, I have been distracted by authoring too many obituaries for the online alumni magazine. The most challenging part of my column is writing final notes on friends and providing a brief recognition. Our departed colleagues include: Ernest Lawrence Barcella, Jr., J.D., of Washington, D.C, described as an adventuresome lawyer by his colleagues; Roy Victor Erickson, M.D. of West Simsbury, Connecticut, a physician board certified in geriatric and internal medicine noted for developing and providing high quality health care services for underserved and disenfranchised populations; Robert Shearer Ervin, D.Min. of Dover, New Hampshire, a minister who encouraged community collaboration and development; David Tullis Houston, Jr., MBA, of Short Hills, New Jersey, a noted commercial real estate broker; Edwin Jordan Masters, M.D., of Sikeston, Missouri, a caring family practice country doctor and researcher; and David George Ovaitt of Wooster, Ohio. Visit them virtually, post a remembrance, and join me in raising a toast to their memory.
