Letter from Chuck Sherman
Dear Classmate, When did the Class of 1966 graduate? I, for one, know I graduated from Dartmouth in 1967. I matriculated in the fall of 1962 with about 839 other guys (we were a very big class), but I took a year off, studied abroad, and graduated with the Class of 1967. How different am I? The Colleges alumni database says I graduated in 1966. So I know it is wrong on one count. It says five others (but not I) graduated in the years following 1966. Could that be all? I decided to find out. On a cold day last winter, suitable for staying indoors, I sat down in Rauner Library, the college archives, in what we called Webster Hall, with a bound set of Commencement Programs for all years. I paged through the years from 1965 to 1973, looking at the names of graduates. Most of you are in the1966 Commencement program. Some appear in no Commencement programs, four appeared in two successive programs. The 1966 Commencement program also listed a few from earlier Classes who, like me, found a reason to take time out, as well as one precocious friend, Bob Burka 67, who graduated with the 66s. Heres what I learned, incomplete as it may be:
The number of 66s (including one or two transfer students) who graduated in each year from 65 through 73 are: (includes me) 2 1
We also have three adoptees on our ls,today. And I know of one (there may be more) who graduated with the Class of 67 and adopted them. The above figures leave out 87 who were not in the Commencement programs. No doubt many of these dropped out and transferred to other undergraduate schools. The Alumni Records show that 17 of these got other degrees, BAs, PhDs, JDs, MFAs, DDSs, MDs, etc., from other institutions. Among the residual, with no academic accomplishment on the record, are four who list M.D. as a suffix to their name. One of these jump outs, I know, skipped our senior year and went straight to medical school; he now holds an endowed professorship at the Harvard Medical School. Thats quite an accomplishment to be missing from the record! Remember, we are all CLASSMATES of 1966! No doubt youve forgotten some you once knew, and there are many you have yet to meet. Our mini-reunions and maxi-Reunions and 66th Night initiatives give you some fresh opportunities to meet your old friends. JOIN US FOR THE 45TH THIS COMING OCTOBER! --Chuck
Kathy and Wayne LoCurto and Marie and Chris Meyer (shown above), were among the group enjoying the barbeque and parade, along with Audrey and Rob Knight, and Susi and Peter Orbanowski Saturday morning at Margo and Paul Doschers home in Norwich saw a large contingent arrive for coffee and a delicious brunch and, secondarily, for the class meeting. Bob Spence presented the results of last years Dartmouth College Fund drive and the plans for this years effort, which ends in June (see page 10). Chuck Sherman presented the 2010-2011 Class Budget (see page 9), which designates $10,100 for charitable projects, and was approved unanimously. Jim Lustenader reviewed the plans for the 45th Reunion, October 14-17, 2011 (see below), emphasizing the need for classmates to make hotel reservations as soon as possible as the timing coincides with the senior citizen leaf-peeper season. Attendees included Jeff Gilbert, who was leaving the next day for a Dartmouth Alumni Trip to northern India, Leslie Warner and Gary Jefferson, Ken Reiber, Jo and Al Keiller, and Barbara and Steve Lanfer.

Events

Homecoming Mini-Reunion On October 29-30, fifty-six classmates, family members, and guests gathered for the annual Homecoming Mini-Reunion. The weekend started with tails and a barbeque at the DOC House on Occum Pond, leading up to the evening Parade of the Classes down Main Street. The football game against Harvard was disappointing, as the Big Green came into the game with a 4-2 record, but lost 30-14. Game attendees relieved their sorrow at adopted classmate John Chapins Canoe Club; the contingent included Ann and Ted Thompson, Susan and Gus Southworth, and Sharon and Gary Broughton.

Coming Events

Third Annual 66th Night 45th Reunion Various Hanover, NH March 7, 2011 October 14-17, 2011
The Class Dinner at the Norwich Inn included presentations by Class of 1966 Dickey Fellows Michael Chen 11 and Joe Pearl 11. Michael traveled to Berlin to work with the new Egyptian Museum and Joe traveled to Morocco to undertake a GIS mapping project. Enjoying the choice of steak, chicken, or fish were Jeanne and Richard Blacklow, Theresa and Robin Carpenter (alas without University of Tampa freshman Abigail), Jef Fellows, David Johnston, Judy and Terry Lowd, Mary and Mike McConnell, just back from a Dartmouth Alumni Trip to Turkey, and Kathy and Bruce McKissock. The weekend concluded with a Sunday morning brunch at the Class of 1966 Lodge. The group, pictured below, included Dawn and Bob Hawley, Peggy and Lance Tapley, who had spent the weekend at the Lodge, and Sharon and Jim Botelho. Special thanks from the Class go to Mini-Reunion Chair Jim Lustenader for organizing an outstanding event with the largest attendance ever for a Homecoming Mini. Wah-hoo-wah, Jim!
45th Reunion The first official registrant for our 45th reunion is none other than.DEAN THADDEUS SEYMOUR!!!
Yes, Thad will be joining us October 14-17, thanks to the persuasive powers of Reunion Chair Jim Lustenader. Jims latest update follows:
Dear Classmates: In a mere 10 months we will be gathering in Hanover on October 14-17 for our 45th Reunion. Your reunion committee chose this October weekend to take advantage of the glorious fall color, which should be peaking in the Upper Valley about that time. The dining and event details and costs are still being worked out, but I am writing you now to provide an outline of the weekend and advise of special arrangements we have made with hotels in the area. The latter point is very important because Tuck moved its annual gathering to the same time as our reunion, so you should act right now if you want to be sure of getting the hotel reservation you want.
Back row (L to R: Mike McConnell, Peter Orbanowski, Jim Botelho, Robin Carpenter, David Johnston, Lance & Peggy Tapley, Mi & Ken Reiber, Dawn & Bob Hawley, Elizabeth & Jim Lustenader Front Row (L to R): Chuck Sherman, Mary McConnell, Susi Orbanowski, Margie Carpenter 3.
Preliminary Schedule Thursday, Oct. 13: For those wishing to arrive early, there will be a Moosilauke trek and feed organized by classmate Doug Hill. We are also making arrangements with the DOC for overnight accommodations at the Ravine Lodge details to follow. Early registration will be possible. Friday, Oct. 14: Reunion officially begins with registration at Zimmerman Lounge in Blunt Hall. In the afternoon we will sit in on classes (TBD) and visit with students (including the 66 Dickey Interns) at Collis or Top of the Hop. Friday night will be group night to make time for fraternities, clubs and long-time (or long-lost) friends to make their own arrangements to get together and dine independently around town. An informal dinner is planned at Collis or Thayer for those not wishing to join a group gathering. All classmates will be invited to meet at Collis after dinner for nightcaps and dancing. Saturday, Oct. 15: Registration continues. After breakfast (on your own), Howie Weiner will screen and lead a discussion of his film What Is Life About? at a campus location TBD. Lunch will be at the DOC House on Occom Pond, followed by an afternoon schedule of concurrent events that will allow you to choose among faculty talks, campus tours, visits to local attractions (e.g., Billings Farm, King Arthur Flour), golf, tennis, and the like. Note: if there is a specific topic you would like to have a faculty member address or specific desires as to tours and places to visit, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate. Saturday night will be our official reunion dinner with dancing at Dowds Country Inn in Lyme. Sunday, Oct. 16: After breakfast (on your own), we will have a memorial service at Rollins Chapel, followed by a class meeting, where we will elect a slate of officers to serve for the next five years (elections will be held via the web for non-attendees during the 30 days prior to the reunion). A tour of the renowned Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (including a talk by a senior member of the centers team) will precede lunch, which will be on your own. The afternoon will feature additional concurrent faculty talks, campus tours, and a walk to the 66 Lodge on Moose Mt. A cocktail party at the Top of the Hop with entertainment by one or two student singing groups will kick off the evening, followed by dinner in Alumni Hall, where we hope to have President Kim as our speaker. A postdinner gathering for those with enough energy will be at the Canoe Club on Main Street.

Well, it was quite a party! It was really something to be at the Phi Palace with Ted Amaral, Charlie Stuart, Dean Spatz, Arne and Edie Rovick, Neil Castaldo, and more from other classes. It was just like we never left Hanover (other than the fact that none of us made it past midnight). The House is rebuilt, as advertised, although the core is definitely the same as we remember it. The House now holds 25 residents, whereas we did well to fit 17 to 18. The Friday night gathering in the basement (which I didnt make) ended in the early morning. Then there was the pre-game cookout only a few hours later (which I did make), which lasted well into the first quarter. We watched in admiration how the current Phis use low-tech cleaning methods to get ready for the next wave of partying. Three or four full-sized snow shovels wielded by the brothers to pick up debris and put it into many barrels. One might think a few shovel-fulls would do the job, but Charlie and I watched for some time, and it didnt seem as if much progress was being made. Also, there have been some significant advances made in the beer pong game since our last game there. First, no nets on the tables. Theyd only get in the way, and delay hitting the cups (yes, more than one cup)! Another change no juke box in this mix, which is unnecessary, anyway, because the House is wired with speakers all over the place, with music that can be turned up loud enough to be heard in Lebanon. A wonderful advancement, which can keep everyone awake wherever they are on Webster Avenue, President Kim came by the House after the game, in his Dartmouth football jersey, to say how happy he was to see the Phi alums. Saturdays dinner was a great success with over 150 for dinner 100 plus alums and 50 11s and 12s. Rush for the 13s doesnt start until October. Thanks, Albie, for your report.and reminding us that the visit of the 66ers was equivalent to the Class of 1920 visiting us during the fall of our senior year!!!

The Committee is currently finalizing the Reunion Budget; a complete sign-up sheet will be available in the next issue of AR 66.

News of Classmates

As many of you are aware, Phi Delta Alpha Fraternity suffered a third-floor fire a year ago, which left the house severely damaged. Alumni of the House undertook a major fundraising campaign; renovations were completed over the summer. To mark the re-opening of the Phi Palace, a number of 66ers, organized by Albie MacDonald, joined alumni brothers, President Kim, and other College officials over the weekend of September 25-26. Albies report, forwarded by Bruce Thorsen, follows:
------------------------------------Neil Castaldo has moved back to Hanover. As part of the Phi Delt reportage, Charlie Stuart writes, Castaldo has gone overboard with his recent move back to Hanover where he is the general counsel to Mary Hitchcock Hospital (must
be in honor of those nurses he dated on Sunday nights). Doc has bought season tickets to Dartmouth football for the entire family. Albie and I will be joining him and embarrassing him in front of his children with old stories of never attending classes. Apparently his wife is a rather smart person and is fleeing Hanover for the entire weekend.

Don Easy Rider Graves writes, This Fall, I have to make it across country to the Left Coast for a mission trip to a church we are building in central Baja. Our departure for that trip will be 10/24. Backing up 9 days and I will have to leave Maine some time after the Dartmouth-Yale game. Transportation will be as shown below. Thats my grandson, Ian, standing next to me. Perhaps he will be a Dartmouth soccer player in the class of 2024one can dream. Don, any tattoos to go with the bandana??
Bill Viar was unable to make the Phi Delt reunion. Albie reports, Bill is retired from the practice of medicine these days. He and Barbara have four sons and a daughter in places like Santa Barbara, Chicago, and Jackson, NH. Bill and Barbara are spending quality time back and forth between Alabama and North Carolina.

------------------------------------While Bruce Thorsen wasnt able to make the reunion either, he donated to the Class his Dartmouth mug, which is now safely (???) positioned on the fireplace mantle in the Class of 1966 Lodge.

Speaking of the Lodge, the Class thanks go to Chuck Vernon for making three beautiful benches at the entrance of the Lodge (see benches below with Webster Sherman 01):
------------------------------------Brendan Lesch will not be a Dartmouth soccer player in the class of 2024.or in the class of 2015. A grandson of Kathy and Wayne LoCurto, the All-American high school mid-fielder will be headed for Notre Dame and a future career, he hopes, in professional soccer. Wayne recounts, He was recruited by many schools including Dartmouth, Harvard, Stanford, etc. He chose Notre Dame because of Bobby Clark, the quality of the ND program and because they play all year long. He wants to be a professional soccer player and felt that ND would give him the exposure he wants. By the way, can it be true that we now have grandchildren enrolling in college???? ------------------------------------Are you going to the Princeton game?, writes Jim Nutt. We hope to, and the brunch preceeding with President Kim. We are well, enjoying retirement since July l. All three boys are finished school. Rob, our middle son, is geting married in two weeks. Finally one! Betsy and Jim didnt make it, but Paula and Ed Jereb and the Serenbetzs enjoyed the Big Greens 31-0 win over the pussy-cats.

Author Bill Wilson reports on his latest book and activities: Last November I finished up my 14th book - this one a translation of the 5th century BC Chinese classic, Tao Te Ching - and headed straight for my favorite place in Japan, the Kiso Road, a path (now a mixture of dirt path, narrow road, highway) in use since the early 8th century. There I acted as a sort of Lokian translator/guide for a travel writer from Smithsonian magazine (see the article in the October issue 2010), as we hiked about 60 miles through and over the Japanese Central Alps. At home, I am still playing with Oriental languages, doing my best to fit them into some kind of understandable English. Projects for next year include a work on the Japanese art of Tea, and a biography of Santoka, a 20th century haiku poet/Zen priest/sake drinker/peripatetic. My 6-year-old son Henry is now in first grade, and has been practicing kendo - Japanese fencing - for some time. A few months ago, I decided to join him in practice at the dojo, and admit that I do not cut a real graceful figure! I am happy to relate, however, that no one has actually laughed in my face yet. Hard to tell behind all that face gear. Otherwise, a little canoeing, walk the dogs, cook (pastas are my true calling in life), and an occasional bottle of Amarone. The photo below was taken on the Kiso Road in 2009. The fellow sitting next to me is Takashi Ichikawa, an old friend and mentor who introduced me to Japanese literature and mountain climbing about 1967. The little girls are his grandchildren. Best to all.

Since I havent updated the Class on my doings for a number of years (2004?), writes Chris Sanger, I thought I would drop you a line to fill in the blank space. The big news (at least for me) was that I got divorced last year after 42 years of marriage. My ex and I simply had grown apart and had very divergent views of what we expected for the rest of our lives. I cant exactly say that the divorce was friendly, but at least we didnt try to tear each others throats out. It cost me a bundle, but as some wise man once said no price is too great to pay when the issue is freedom. Amen to that! After spending about a year post-separation making up for having missed the sexual revolution by a whisker in the late 60s, I have recently decided to slow down and go steady with one woman; and although I will never remarry, the relationship is comfortable and easy. If I could find my old fraternity pin I would pin her! LOL. I am still living in Tucson, AZ, and when not there I can usually be found on my houseboat at Lake Powell or visiting my grandchild (only one so far, Zia, pictured with me above). I continue to practice law part-time (mostly tele-commuting) and also spend a lot of time getting aggravated about my golf game, which seems to get a little worse each year no matter how much I practice and play. Thank God I have no major health problems yet, so for the most part I am enjoying life. Thanks, Chris, for the update.

To celebrate Homecoming in the South, Mary and Brad Stein headed to Staunton, VA: The Shakespeare weekend with Professor Saccio was terrific. The only 66s who went were us, Joan and Bill Bailey, and Ann and Ken Zuhr, but it was generally well attended and very entertaining and enjoyable. ------------------------------------Paul Darling has relocated from Switzerland back to Ohio, where he is recovering from a serious illness, reports Bill Gruver.

Thanks to all who contributed to the DCF in 2010 (see page 12). The 2011 campaign is now well underway and even more important this year to meet the needs of incoming students, as noted in Head Agent Bob Spences call for action:
Dear Classmates, Heres a timely quote. But the New Dartmouth is not the result of revolution, but of evolution. The old traditions have not been broken down, but have adapted themselves to modern requirements. No institution can stand still and succeed, and the policy of even Dartmouth has been ever progressive, alive to the present needs. The need to educate native Americans was what drove Wheelock to found Dartmouth. While that need has not changed, the process has certainly evolved, for all of us. Go to www.dartmouth.edu. Everything from sports to budget realignment in this difficult financial environment is presented in transparent detail (and once I receive the latest annual report Ill run the numbers for you, assuming I can find my slide rule.) Its all there for your understanding. The article from which the above was taken goes on to state: A century hence the college will be thrilled by the speeches of Dartmouth night with the same love of Alma Mater as it is today This article was taken from the New England Magazine dated January, 1910. It has indeed been a century since the article was written to commemorate the tenure of President Tucker, and the prediction has come to pass, given the reception that President Kims speeches have invoked. As stated long ago by Alphonse Karr, The more things change the more they remain the same. The article also states that the most potent factors in keeping up of the old spirit are the alumni and the alumni associations. This is also true. The College could not survive without the endowment and Dartmouth College Fund support it receives for those associations, which is why class participation is measured in terms of support of the DCF. Go to www.dartmouthcollegefund.org to view the impact our gifts have on the College. As Dartmouths curriculum continues to adapt to modern times, its foundation does not change. We are that foundation, and 66s goal this year is to be recognized as Class of the Year. To do that we need your support. Please be receptive to our class agents calls. This is our 45th, lets make it memorable! We are Dartmouth.

Class Representative Wayne LoCurto just completed his penultimate meeting of the Council and will have a report available for the next edition of AR 66. Waynes three-year term ends with the May 2011 meeting; under Council rules, he cannot serve another consecutive term for our class. The Class will be holding an election for Waynes replacement during the summer of 2011. Any classmate interested in serving should contact Chuck Sherman at chucksherman@mac.com. The council rep attends two-day meetings in Hanover during May and December and participates in committee matters, generally by conference call or email. If you have any specific questions as to time requirements, please email Wayne at wlocurto@gmail.com. Class Officers Weekend The annual Class Officers Meeting was held in Hanover in early September. Attendees included President Chuck Sherman, Vice-President Al Keiller, Head Agent Bob Spence, Webmaster Ben Day, your Newsletter Editor, and outgoing Treasurer Tim Urban, pictured below with wife Toni:
While the Class did not win any awards, we were recognized along with five other classes for our communication efforts, specifically the content and depth of our website, the number of, and classmate recognition in, newsletters, the coordination between the secretary, webmaster, and newsletter editor, and the WOW effort to locate all classmates and expand the number of email addresses. For his efforts, Ben Day was elected VP of the Class Webmasters.

In Memoria

--Bob Page had a home in Derby, VT and visited high school history teacher and soccer coach Bill Duval in Essex Junction
30 Years Ago The Class has received word that Howard P. Phil Fischbach, III, M.D., of Springfield, Ohio, died unexpectedly on Friday, August 10, 2007. He was born in Cincinnati and attended Oak Hills High School where he was a member of Boys State, the football team, and co-captain of the track team. At Dartmouth he lived in 303 Wheeler; Phil did not graduate from the College.
