November/December 2016. 

Sam Ostrow writes that everything people need to know about ALL SIX DAYS of the 50th Reunion (Moosilauke Thursday, Core Reunion Friday to Sunday, Extended Sunday-Tuesday) is in the October (Fall) newsletter.  Pass the word to come join us; we want to ensure maximum turnout. Classmates will have received a Dues Mailing in September. The Dues remain at $50 and our traditional check-off projects which continue even with all the Reunion projects and activities – DPCS, Athletic Recruiting Trips, 67 Memorial Grove Maintenance, Class Connections and our Memorial Fund.  Dues must be paid to vote at the Class Meeting at reunion in June. Both of our 50th Major Gift Projects – Class of 1967 Bunkhouse at Mount Moosilauke and Class of 1967 A Space for Dialogue Gallery are almost fully funded. Bunkhouse construction – with many 67s actually participating – is going very well, and demolition of portions of the “old” Hood has begun.

David Roy Straus of Alexandria, Virginia died January 15, 2012. David came to College from Verona, New Jersey, majored in Sociology, played drums in the marching band and in a rock band.

He served as Managing Partner at the D.C. office of Thompson Coburn LLP, where he worked from 1997 to 2011.

He lived with enthusiasm and humor, traveled the world with Iris, and enjoyed music, cars, sports (especially the Yankees), and cuisine both gourmet and greasy.
