September/October 2017. 
Over 400 alums and spouses/partners enjoyed great weather on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and braved unseasonably hot weather (in the 90s) on Commencement Sunday of our fabulous 50th Reunion. The Class made major gifts to the College. The celebration of the Class of 1967 Bunkhouse at Moosilauke was well attended (50 climbed and 160 participated); congrats to the work crews and Ed Kern (coordinator).  Recognition of the ’67 endowment of A Space for Dialogue in the renovated Hood Museum was hosted by Hugh Freund and David Lowenstein.  Panels on Friday and Saturday discussed aspects of Living in a Time of Momentous Change (LTMC).  John Isaacs and Jim Rooks moderated the panel presentations and lively audience reactions.  The class Reunion Book on LTMC (edited by John Isaacs) reported a variety of essays on themes and personal experiences related to the Human Rights Movements and Vietnam.  John Lobitz, Howard Sharfstein, Russ Hoverman, and John Watson discussed end-of life issues (advance care directives, family and physician discussions); a process we all need to do.  Sam Ostrow presented a check on behalf of the Class for a terrific $9.9 million to President Hanlon (’77).
Sam Ostrow (President) ran the Class meeting.  C. Michael Tucker reported on the Dartmouth Partners in Community Service (DPCS) and Bob Davidson offered perspectives on DPCS.  Paul Killebrew discussed the Athletic Sponsors program. David Lowenstein commented on the Hood Space for Dialogue student intern project. Ed Kern summarized the 1967 Bunkhouse  solar project progress.  Howard Sharfstein reminded us to consider gift/legacy planning in our estate plans.  A trust will be established to support the Memorial Grove.  Dave Mangelsdorff (Secretary) offered a brief summary of Class statistics. Head Agent John Kornet discussed participation in the College fund.  Rob Kugler led the election of new Class officers: G. Larry Langford (Secretary) and Jim Rooks (newsletter) were approved.  Rick Geissinger (Treasurer) confirmed the significant drawdown in the treasury.  Bill Bogardus presented Sam Ostrow with a College chair recognizing Sam’s 20 years of service. Dave Mangelsdorff, John Kornet and Bob Burka were recognized for their service. Rob Kugler facilitated the discussion of amendments to the Class constitution to account for shared participation in Class management by spouses and partners. After approval of the amendments, Rebecca Gray was added to the Executive Committee.  At graduation, C. Fordham von Reyn received an honorary Doctor of Science for his work on tuberculosis and HIV and development of the Dartmouth TB vaccine, DAR-901.  Thanks to Angela B. Stafford (’91) of Alumni Relations for support throughout the events.
Charles A. Hobbie authored an interesting memoir of his College experiences Days of Splendor, Hours Like Dreams. The creative tapestry weaves his friendships, relationships, memories, and events.  Chuck’s work entertainingly complements the LTMC essays and the Class 50th Reunion Yearbook stories. It’s on Amazon.   
Sadly, Robert Edward Fisher died on May 18, 2017. Fish majored in Sociology, was in The Tabard, earned his J.D. from Boston University, and practiced law in Dover, New Hampshire for over 45 years. Sympathies to Marjorie (wife), Elizabeth, Jodie, Sarah, and Samantha.  
Hope all enjoyed the reunion, rekindled memories, found new friends, reflected on choices, and celebrated. Thank you for your interest and support. Be seeing you.
