Classes of 1967 Echo and Pine June 1-4 2017 Letter from the President Dear Members of the Classes of 1967, On this noteworthy anniversary, it is my great pleasure to welcome you back to campus for what promises to be a memorable weekend. From my conversations with many of you and from the memories you share in the following pages, it is apparent that the social and political upheavals of the 1960s – and their expressions on campus – substantially shaped your worldviews and your lives. Equally apparent is the collective sense of the Colleges’ impact on the way in which the Classes of 1967 navigated those turbulent times, from the attentiveness and care of the faculty and administration, to the camaraderie of the student body and the demanding nature of the coursework. As we join in celebrating your 50th Reunion, perhaps most apparent is the remarkable success of the Classes of 1967. Through the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War, through the Cold War and the advent of the Internet, through the 9/11 attacks and the great recession, your classes have thrived in this changing world and helped shape it – as doctors and educators; business and religious leaders; attorneys and artists; service-members in law enforcement and the military; local, national and international volunteers; and parents and grandparents. On behalf of our faculty, staff and students, I thank you for joining us this weekend and for your many contributions to your communities, your country and your alma maters. Sincerely, Mark D. Gearan President 1 HOBART AND WILLIAM SMITH COLLEGES Classes of 1967 50th Reunion Top News Stories (1963-1967) 1963 1965 • Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. is Time Magazine Person • Gen.

Probably the loss of respect for the work ethic. Loyalty is no longer paramount. Jobs have become Grandchildren: Landon, Sawyer, Micah a necessary chore rather than a learning platform for advancement. Major: American History Is there one memory that stands out from your Work/Career History: 23 years TRW, Inc. (Northrop years at HWS?

It’s been 50 years. Tell us about the aging process in your life: Arthritis has complicated my love for golf as it led me to both knees and shoulder replacement. What event made a big difference in your life? Being sent into harm’s way to fight an unjust war convinced me of the importance of a strong military to maintain the peace we all enjoy. What, in your view, have been the most significant events or changes in society since graduation? The role of computers, the internet and social media which gives instant gratification for the knowledge of our youth; rather than the ability to research a topic and form your own conclusions. 5 Street Address: C.
