For news and updates about classmates.
Due to the Covid Pandemic and the absence of signficiant on-campus student activity, no student organization was identified as a recipient of our anual $10,000 Class of '69 Philanthropy Award.
The Class decided this year to give its annual philanthropy gift of $10,000 as a contribution to The DOC Restoration Project.
The Class of '69 gave $10,000 to the Dartmouth Kidney Disease Screening and Awareness Program, desribed as follows:
"My wife, Andrea, and I recently attended a piano concert at Black Butte Ranch in Sisters, OR.

Arthur Resnicoff sent this note:
"I worry that I may be over-sharing my words on this listserv — but this new post of mine feels so personal and involves lessons I’ve learned over a lifetime, so I very much wanted to share it with Dartmouth friends."
Here is a link to his blog post.
In the past, the Class of ’69 Honorees Committee (currently consisting of Greg Lau, Rick Willets, Peter Elias and Jim Staros ex officio) invited and received a number of recommendations from various members of our Class for the Committee to consider recognizing with the Class of 1969 Outstanding Service Award. Our inaugural awards recognized Rick Willets and David Prentice (posthumously) at our 75th birthday celebration last June and Norman Jacobs and Peter Elias were honored at our October Homecoming last year.
Thanks to Keneth Paul '69 for alerting us to this NYTimes article about Brian Maracle.
An excerpt:
"Now, 30 years later, Mr. Maracle has become a champion of Mohawk, and is helping revive it and other Indigenous languages, both in Canada and elsewhere, through his transformation of teaching methods.
How many classmates are aware of the lectures by Dartmouth professors available online?

Dear classmates,
As our Class of 1969 representative on the Dartmouth Alumni Council, I’m again reaching out to ask for your input. The Alumni Council, which represents all classes, clubs, affiliated groups and various graduate schools, is YOUR Dartmouth eyes and ears. It’s here to help keep you informed about Dartmouth today, as well as to, hopefully, inspire engagement and share the views of Dartmouth’s alumni with the College’s leadership.
