“Other days are very near us, as we sing here soft and low We can almost hear the voices of the boys of long ago. They are scattered now, these brothers, up and down the world they roam Some have gone to lands far distant, from the dear old college home Some have crossed the silent river, they are looking down tonight The thought of these old brothers, makes our love now burn so bright.”

The 65th Reunion-a Record Setting Promise for ‘53 Collins Corner

That’s right! Less than three short months to go before we gather once again on the Hanover plane. Under the able leadership of our Reunion Chair, Put Blodgett, this promises to be another 1953 record breaking experience. Put has given you a look at what you can expect elsewhere in this newsletter and here is a review of some of the details.

- The cost per person will be down to $275 as the College picks up the tab for the difference. This includes your hotel room for the 28th and 29th and all meals. - Your room will either be in the Hanover Inn or the Courtyard Marriott depending on the number of attendees. - The Penn football game will be shown on a large TV at the Hanover Inn for those who do not want to venture down to the stadium. - Plans have been made and appropriate transportation scheduled for all classmates who may have some mobility issues. - Dick Fleming and his attendance committee are hard at work calling classmates encouraging them to attend. If you would like to have one of your friends join you at the reunion, now is the time to call them and start planning your trip.

Pre-Reunion at Moosilauke:

Put is organizing a pre-reunion visit to the brand new Moosilauke Ravine Lodge. Much of the log construction of the Lodge was donated by Put from his woodlands. For those wishing to enjoy this opportunity, you may join us on a trip up to the Lodge on Thursday afternoon September 27th. for a reception, dinner and tour of the lodge. Transportation will be provided and the costs are additional from the reunion for the meal and your lodging on the 27th. A great way to start the reunion!

With your help, the Class of 1953 will once again eclipse all existing attendance records and it would be great if you were part of it. If you are unable to attend, you will be missed and you can count on there being a host of pictures and details to follow.

If you are planning to attend, or feel that you will probably join us, drop an email to Dick Fleming so he can begin his planning. Email: [email protected]

The Reunion Registration Packet:

In early July the College will be sending out a registration packet with all you ever wanted to know about the reunion. The key here is to review and respond as soon as possible after receipt. We will not all be staying at the Hanover Inn, and as the saying goes the early bird gets the worm.

I am pleased to report that we have created another 1953 Address Book with current updates from the 60th Reunion one. This book will be included in your Registration Packet. Ideal timing to use to contact your friends to encourage them to join you in Hanover for our Glorious 65th.

The Marilyn Monroe Pictures:

As many may not recall, when our Class funded the start of 1953 Commons with our 12 Million dollar trust fund, a special area was set aside in the pre-construction plans. At the time, our classmate, Ted Spiegel, donated some original Marilyn Monroe pictures by Andy Warhol to be hung in ’53 Commons. The wall space was set aside and reserved for their arrival which was to be after both Ted and Audrey had passed on. We lost Ted back in 2013 and Audrey passed away a couple of years ago. After much research and detail, the pictures are now in the hands of Dartmouth College and installation plans are under way. With security, humidity control and details of hanging these multi-million dollar pieces of iconic art the cost of the installation will be about $60,000. The College has agreed to cover most of this expense, and our Class has absorbed the balance as a Class Project. Hopefully this project will be completed by the time of our reunion in September. Truly a nice finishing touch on our most successful 1953 Commons.

The 1953 Dartmouth College Fund for Reunion:

Although Ron Lazar will continue to quarterback this important initiative, Bob Henderson has stepped up once again to serve as our Reunion Giving Chair. They, along with a select committee of classmates, have been at work on our goals for several months. Even though new dollar records are difficult to achieve with our reducing population, the participants thus far have stepped up nicely to increase their involvement in this our last significant reunion.

We have been advised by John Replogle ’88, son of classmate Dave Replogle and a just retiring member of our Board of Trustees, that Dave’s foundation has donated a $53,000 gift to our reunion fund. A portion of this gift is a challenge match and every gift you give between now and June 30th will be matched. When you are contacted, please step up and help the “1953 Legacy of Leadership” continue to flourish. Your dollars are worth twice as much in the days remaining. Whatever your involvement may be – most importantly – please be part of it – thanks.

See you in September. Stay well and stay in touch!! Best regards to all, Al Some additional notes from Put:

If anyone is nuts enough to try to climb the mountain, we will attempt that on Wednesday, September 26th in order to give us a day to recuperate and the pleasure of a bus ride to Moosilauke with friends. Contact me directly. Some other features of the reunion weekend are:  A back-to-class lecture by a Dartmouth professor  Opportunities to engage with current Dartmouth students including a student-narrated bus tour of campus and performance by the Dartmouth Aires, the College’s oldest student acapella group  Saturday night football game against Penn to be watched at Memorial Stadium or on television at the Inn with friends  Plenty of time for just socializing, strolling down memory lane, and relaxing Phil Fast and Gib Warren would like to play a little golf. If interested, please indicate on the registration card coming to you in July. You may choose to participate in as many or as few of the activities planned for the weekend as you wish. If you have trouble getting around—wheelchair, walker, etc.— please don’t be discouraged from attending. You won’t be alone and there will be assistance and appropriate transportation available. .

If you have questions, please e-mail or telephone me ([email protected], 603- 643- 5678), Angela Stafford ([email protected], 603-646- 3312) or Laurel Appleton ([email protected], 603-646- 3200). We look forward to your response.

P.S. – A few closing words about lodging---The College budgets a lump sum for the 75th, 70th and 65th reunions. The two elder classes get full support and what remains goes to support the 65th. The two elder classes are provided rooms at the Hanover Inn. It is estimated that there will be about 30 rooms available for the 65th. We think widows and those with handicap accessibility needs should have first chance at these rooms and that those living locally should sleep at home to make more of these rooms available. Those not accommodated at the Inn will be lodged in the Marriott Courtyard with shuttle service to the Hanover Inn, where most of our activities will take place. During the registration process in July, you will be asked to indicate your plans for arrival and departure (the College will do its utmost to place those who indicate interest in the Thursday Moosilauke trip in the same room as Friday and Saturday nights). In August, you will be notified of the lodging assignment made for you by the College. Please do not contact the Hanover Inn as our colleagues in Alumni Relations are handling all of the reservations on our behalf. Put Blodgett 65th Reunion Chair

Thanks Put and Al, it sure sounds like a super plan. Now for a short break for a little song to which we octogenarians can relate.

Some Special and Super News from Connie Clery

Dear Dave and Classmates,

Here is a little bit of recent news: On April 7, 2018, the Clery Center for Security On Campus celebrated its 30th Anniversary Gala. It was a huge success with many coming from all over the USA and being held at the Merion Cricket Club in Haverford, Pa. On April 5, 2018, the Phi Sig fraternity, our daughter Jeanne’s favorite fraternity at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa., held a Blue Light Ball in her honor. It was so successful that they donated $10,000 (approx.) to the Clery Center!!!!!!!!!! (the Blue Light Ball referred to the Blue Light’s that the campuses have for students in need of help). Howie, Ben and I were so touched by the thoughtfulness of the students. It was their idea and they approached us for our approval!!!

On Friday, June 15, 2018, at the Commencement ceremony for Drexel University at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, I will be receiving the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa. This is, of course, because oF Howie’s and my work in Jeanne’s memory to make our nation’s campuses safe for students. We could never have succeeded without the everlasting support our whole Dartmouth family of friends. YOU NEVER GAVE UP ON OUR EFFORTS. THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! I am looking forward to seeing you all at Howard's 65th Reunion in September. I know how happy he would be about all of this news.. Fondly, Connie

We so look forward to seeing you in September Connie and to share fond memories of all. Thanks so much for your note.

“Other days are very near us, as we sing here soft and low We can almost hear the voices of the boys of long ago. They are scattered now, these brothers, up and down the world they roam Some have gone to lands far distant, from the dear old college home Some have crossed the silent river, they are looking down tonight The thought of these old brothers, makes our love now burn so bright.” Byron Menides

Worcester - Byron A. Menides died peacefully at age 85 from complications of pneumonia at Dodge Park Rest Home, Worcester, MA. He leaves his wife of 55 years, Laura Jehn-Menides, his son John and daughter Georgia, and many nieces and nephews. News of By’s passing last year was not picked up until this spring.

Byron was born in Lynn, MA on August 20, 1931. He attended Lynn English High School, Dartmouth College BS 1953, and Amos Tuck Business School MBA 1954. He was employed by Arthur Andersen, in its Paris office doing accounting in France, Iran and the Netherlands. Later he worked for MW Kellogg, in South America, primarily in Argentina. In 1960, Byron, together with Tom Gilbert, started TOR Education, whose mission was to promote programmed learning and which had acquired Chicago based International Accountants Society, IAS, a home study school with a reputation for excellent teaching materials. Byron became president of IAS and he and Laura moved to Chicago. They had married in December of 1961, after only a 6-month courtship. In 1966 while vacationing in Athens, Greece, Byron met and collaborated with Gilbert Granet, president of Famous Artists Schools located in Westport, Connecticut, which then acquired IAS. Byron and Laura moved back East with their young son and lived in Rye, New York. Byron became very ill in New York and was hospitalized for over two months and was absent from Famous Artists School, FAS, when it was dissolved. Then living in New York City where their daughter, Georgia was born, Byron established Byron Menides Management Company and eventually became associated with State Mutual Investors in Worcester, MA, Fred Fedeli, President. Fred and Byron worked on many projects until State Mutual was sold. Worcester became their home for 40 years. Byron began teaching management courses at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, WPI, and became WPI's assistant football coach. He enjoyed coaching until he turned 83. He continued attending WPI's home football, and basketball games to cheer the teams on. His commitment to Worcester is evidenced by his joining the Torch Club, The Antiquarian Society, The Historical Society, attending yearly concerts at Mechanics Hall, poetry readings and the theater in Worcester. By was best known for his friendliness, openness, sense of humor, mean jazz piano playing, fine art collections, and reputation as a fine business man. He was a superb example of joy of extending one’s heart to all around one. Byron is missed. Norm Carpenter Janet advised us early in June that Norm passed away on May 31 after being hospitalized for complications due to cardiac amyloidosis. A memorial service was held on June 6 in Minneapolis. No obituary is yet available and will be included when received. Norm has been a lifelong friend and had planned to attend the reunion, When Don Goss became ill during his days as 53 Out creator, Norm filled in graciously until the redhead was back in shape. Recall the picture of Gib Warren, Norm and self on the cover of the Alumni Magazine after the 50 th standing by the bell at the library. See you at the Great Reunion Norm, and Semper Fi. .

Jim Porath His family shares, with heavy hearts, that beloved James E Porath, 88, passed away peacefully on March 30, 2018. Of Jackson NH and Marblehead MA, he was a loving and devoted husband of 60 years to Jean Murphy Porath. He leaves many friends, clients, coworkers and family with cherished memories and his imparted guidance and wisdom. Born in Rumford, ME in 1930 to Charles Porath and Lorette Porath (Thibodeau), Jim was passionate about work, play, family and friends. He started work in the local paper mill at age 14 and never slowed down. He worked hard and played harder. He graduated from Dartmouth College '53 and Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business in '54. An avid skier of Stein Eriksen grace, Jim ski raced and ski jumped for Stevens High School in Rumford and Hebron Academy before joining the Dartmouth ski team. In 1957, he and Jean Murphy, a graduate of Simmons College ('52), wed and moved to Marblehead. They shared 60 years of traveling, skiing, golfing and sailing. He never stopped sharing his infectious smile that many came to know and love. Working long hours as a partner at T.B. Donnelly & Co, a public accounting firm in Boston MA, allowed him to spend weekends with his family skiing at Wildcat, Black and Tyrol Mountains in Jackson NH. Every spring, his focus would shift from the mountains to the boatyard. He would go to work on Mondays in a suit, with blue stained hands after a weekend of sanding the blue hull of their boat Genie, named after Jean. Jim and Jean raced every weekend out of Marblehead. Their competitive spirit and desire to learn garnered them innumerable top finishes and fond memories. In 1988, Jim and his partner merged T.B. Donnelly with the regional CPA firm of Tonneson & Co, where Jim became a senior partner. Never one to retire, he was a CPA for 61+ years. He held his clients and co-workers in the highest regard, fostered New England pragmatism and was a loyal and devoted friend and advisor to many. Moving to Jackson NH for their "retirement years", sailing gave way to golf, another sport Jim and Jean enjoyed together. Jim was a mentor to many, a dedicated father and wonderful husband, with an indomitable spirit. Jim never forgot anything, but more importantly, he chose to not dwell on wrongs. Instead he focused on the future and on the positive. He rarely got angry, instead he resolved to never make the same mistake twice. Above all, he was a true gentleman. He was predeceased by his brother Arlie Porath. He is survived by his three beloved children and their spouses: Nancy Porath Davis and Dean Davis of Jackson NH, Jonathan Porath and Debra Simiele Porath of Marblehead MA and Emily (Penny) Porath Miller and Russ Miller of Jackson NH. Jim adored his and Jean's three grandchildren: Hannah Porath and Hayden and Annika Miller. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Bartlett Jackson Ambulance (Glen NH 03838), Visiting Nurse Home Care & Hospice (PO Box 432 North Conway NH 03860) A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

James J William Gilges JUNE 14, 1932 ~ MARCH 8, 2018 (AGE 85)

James William Gilges III, 85, of Leawood, KS, died Thursday, March 8, 2018 at Brighton Gardens of Prairie Village, of heart failure. Bill was born in June 1932 in Kansas City to J.W. and Frances D. Gilges; he attended Border Star elementary and Southwest High school, and earned his Eagle Scout rank before attending Dartmouth College on a Navy ROTC scholarship. After a three year around-the-world cruise aboard U.S.S. Henley (DD762), he began his 35 year sales career with IBM, proudly helping usher in the modern computer age, achieving 15 100% Club years, and a number of Golden Circle (top 1%) awards. His love of the outdoors was sparked early in his life, stoked by Boy Scout Troop 123, and furthered with the Dartmouth Outing Club. He continued actively pursuing outdoor activities, backpacking the Tetons, summiting Long's Peak, hiking the Grand Canyon rim to rim, learning to kayak at the Otter Bar Ranch, spending a week on horseback in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, and rafting the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. An ardent snow skier, he taught his wife on their honeymoon, and each son as soon as each was able to stand on skis. Bill and wife Janie were instrumental in the early success of the Kansas City Ski Club. He is credited with helping start the ski racing program within the club, and issued a race challenge to Midwest ski clubs, resulting in the Flatland Ski Association , which went on to, at one point, stage the largest amateur alpine ski race in the world. A severe accident halted his ability to ski, but he regained his ability to walk through sheer determination and willpower. The cross-country and high school and Dartmouth distance runner inside him served to bolster his fortitude and ultimate victory in this battle.As a 10 year docent at the Kansas City Zoo, he taught visitors about the importance of our interconnected natural world, and served 13 years on the board of the Kansas Chapter of The Nature Conservancy He was a gardener of flowers and vegetables, a cultivator of relationships, and an avid bird watcher. His love of adventure travel took him to such far-flung places as Borneo, and Costa Rica for birds; several safaris in Africa for animals; he drove every major road in Ireland for the culture and history; and Alaska and South America for the natural splendor. He took up scuba diving later in life ("easier on the knees!") and made several dive trips with family and friends. Bill was predeceased by Janie, his wife of 52 years. He is survived by their two sons William D. (Denise), Gordon L. (Bethany) and grandson Mateo J. Gilges, as well as his brother Robert D. (Carroll) Gilges. His religious life was centered in St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, where his parents were very active. There he was christened, served as an acolyte, was confirmed, and was married to Lydia Jane Denni on December 27, 1958. A memorial service was held at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Wornall Road at Meyer Blvd., Kansas City, Missouri on Saturday, April 14, 2018, at 11:00 a.m. In recognition of his love for oratory and a microphone, a celebration of stories followed the memorial; also in Brookside.

One of the many delights of being your Newsletter editor is renewing touch with classmates, some of whom we haven’t seen since Hanover days , or the last reunion, or whatever. Bill Brown is one of those and his response to our request for news is really exemplary. One of the heavy heart times of a class newsletter guy is the increasing number of obituaries which is to be expected in our mid-octogenarian years, so It is a SUPER DELIGHT to hear about one’s life WHILE ONE IS STILL LIVING IT. Bill Brown did just that; I will too and I invite all to do the same. Let’s share the joy of these great lives while they are still percolating. Bill’s letter and pictures follow. Building Things --- The Life of Bill Brown

Hi Dave,

I've been trying to close out my archives and thought you might be interested in pictures of some of the unusual/ one of a kind construction projects that I have been involved in over the years. I have specialized in large complex projects and have made a point of staying out of the office and instead have been close to project operations. Retired to the bottom of the chair lift in Park City in 1990 allowing 60 +/- days of skiing for several years.

Eight years ago we moved to the historic Victorian seaport of Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula west of Seattle. Joyce and I have been married for 63 years and now live close to our three sons and grandchildren. Am very active as a board member of the Public Development Authority managing 100 acres and 73 buildings of Fort Worden State Park. Restoring old stuff is a fun hobby. Currently have 2 carriages in the Northwest Carriage Museum in Raymond, Washington. Building new resort hotels is even better as you have to go to the beach to work every day.

Will not be able to attend reunion as we both are not in the best of shape. I have had Parkinson's Disease for 18 years and it is beginning to slow me down.

News from Hank Fry in Houston

We received an impressive notification from the Lifestyle Community in Meadows Place Texas that our own Hank Fry was selected as the Silver Star winner for this period of the community, and here is their citation: “Henry ‘Hank’ Fry from Rochester, Pa. is a proud military veteran who served three years while in college at Dartmouth and then served two more years of active duty and an additional six years in the Reserves. Hank went to Dartmouth College in New Hampshire where he played football as a defensive back and started his military service by joining the ROTC program. Directly after graduation he deployed to French Indochina, now Vietnam, and then South Korea as a Green Beret Special Forces Marine. After serving in combat where he earned a Silver Star and Bronze star, as well as a Purple Heart for his wounds in combat, he received an honorable discharge. He then began a career at Armstrong Cork Company in Dallas and was relocated to Houston. Hank has been a resident at the Lifestyle Community for three years and follows the Dallas Cowboys and the Texans football teams. His wife was a fan of the Astros and would be so proud that they had won the series.

The Other Doctor Smoller

Mark Smoller and I have been in touch for so many years that I just don’t recall any interruption since the days we worked for Mark on the College Intramural Program – oh yes, one year when he went off to Dental School. And we both were tutored In our support of class activities by the inimitable Donald, Goss that is, and have just delighted In staying in touch. Mark’s son Bruce, also a doctor, has had many accomplishments in his career which Mark shared with me, and I have his permission to share those with you. I do this because it is the right thing to do for this fine young man who, in addition to his extraordinary professional accomplishments is also most attentive to Bobbie and Mark as well as his own wife and kids. His extraordinary career is discussed in the accompanying video where he was honored by his medical school. Here ‘tis. Ctrl/Click on http http://www.kaltura.com/tiny/r6s9e

Closing Words of the Convocation of President John Sloan Dickey to us in September 1949

“Gentlemen, the fashioning of your usefulness to yourself and society as open- minded, reliable and cooperative men is in your hands. And now, as Men of Dartmouth, as I have said on this occasion before, as members of the College you have three different but closely intertwined roles to play: First, you are citizens of a community and are expected to act as such. Second, you are the stuff of an institution and what you are it will be. Thirdly, your business here is learning We'll be with you all the way and 'Good Luck':

Now, to complete the cycle of our time in Hanover as undergraduates, go to our Class Website at “The Dartmouth College Class of 1953” and click on the Articles and Archives and go to bottom of the page where is says Click Here to hear Fred Whittemore's Recording of Our Graduation Day; Comments by President Eisenhower and then the Immortal voice of Charlie Fleet Singing "Little Jimmy Brown," also known as "The Three Bells." Once you do that you will have restored completely in your heart our four year experience of those wonderful days in Hanover. GOTTA LOVE THIS TEACHER!

There were four sophomores taking chemistry and all of them had an 'A' so far. These four friends were so confident that the weekend before finals, they decided to visit some friends and have a big party. They had a great time but, after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Florida State until early Mondaymorning.

Rather than taking the final then, they decided that after the final they would explain to their professor why they missed it. They said that they visited friends but on the way back they had a flat tire. As a result, they missed the final. The professor agreed they could make up the final the next day. The guys were excited and relieved. They studied that night for the exam.

The next day the Professor placed them in separate rooms and gave them a test booklet. They quickly answered the first problem worth 5 points. Cool, they thought! Each one, in a separate room, thought this was going to be easy ... then they turned the page. On the second page was written.. For 95 points______which tire?
