January/February 2013.
Working from the theme “67 is 67!” Bruce Pacht put together a really successful 45th reunion, with 143 attending (80 classmates). Tours of the Hood Museum 
and new Black Family Visual Arts Center and the Life Sciences Building on North Campus were entertaining. The evening dinner with students at the new '53 
Commons/Thayer Hall was a major contrast (definitely not the old Thayer). Robert Sanatulli and Roberta Stewart (Dartmouth faculty) led interesting discussions 
on aging. Interim College President Carol Folt addressed the class during lunch at the Dartmouth Outing Club House on Occom Pond; it was followed by the 
rededication and celebration of the refurbished Class of 1967 Memorial Grove led by Rev. Mobby Larson (wife of David Larson) and Rabbi Gary Atkins. 
A presentation of how to stay financially healthy generated good exchanges. Dinner at John and Gail Wasson's barn in Lebanon was accompanied by the 
East Bay Jazz Trio (great turnout almost exceeded barn's capacity). The class meeting at Silsby Hall included presentations on class demographics (Dave 
Mangelsdorff).The class is doing well; 90% of those who matriculated in 1963 are still active. Officers’ reports given by: Rick Geissinger (Treasurer: Class has 
$64,000 in assets); Howard Sharfstein (Gift Planning); and Sam Ostrow (Class website). Updates on current Class projects included: Win Johnson 
(Dartmouth Partners in Community Service [DPCS]); Paul Killebrew, Sr. (Dartmouth Athletic Recruiting trips); recent "one-off" projects (ski book, Class of '42 
book, Memorial Grove); and Sam Ostrow (Dartmouth Alumni Magazine electronic archive). Class dues were voted to remain at $50. Funding for the 
Dartmouth Alumni Magazine will not come from class dues. Support for the DCPS will be matched up to $6,000. Planning for the 50th Reunion included 
major class projects (Ed Kern: Moosilauke; Hugh Freund and David Lowenstein: A Space for Dialogue Room). Expanded proposals will be developed on 
the major class projects for further review. John Kornet (Head Agent) reported on support of the College Fund. The Class raised $356,000 with 47.7% 
participation. It was proposed to target 67% participation (everyone donating something) for the 50th reunion. Rob Kugler talked of connecting with the 
Class of 2017 thru the Class Connections Program. A 50th Year book will discuss reflections on the Milestone of our Era (Vietnam, Civil and Women’s Rights, 
and more). David Millane was nominated as Alumni Council rep. Ed Kern was added to the executive committee. John Lobitz invited all to CarniVAIL in 
Vail, Colorado March 1-3, 2013. Check class web page for further information. Keep me posted. Dave Mangelsdorff (3410 Turtle Village Drive,
