40th Reunion highlights
There was a great turnout: 82 members of the class, four spouses who are Carleton alums from other classes, 27 spouses/partners/friends, and three children.
Carleton presented awards to three members of our class:
- Exceptional Service: Jim Johnson
- Distinguished Achievement: Marlou Garbisch Johnston and (posthumously) Minor Myers Jr.
It was impressive how much of the whole multi-class reunion was fueled by the talents of the Class of 1964. Examples include:
- Donna Dennis’ slide show and discussion of her sculpture career, and exhibition of some of her work on paper
- A spirited interchange on party and presidential politics guided by Jim Ulland and featuring Dave Beckwith (on speakerphone from DC), with audience response (featuring John McAuliffe)
- A panel of a handful of us talking about our individual retirement and non-retirement transitions
- A beautiful green campus, with a high note being Bardwell Smith’s discussion in the Japanese Garden
- Rob Oden’s so-articulate commentary on the Ancient Near East
- An elegant analysis of contrasting Civil War leadership styles in the pivotal battle of Petersburg by Dick Sommers
- An art exhibit including works by Jill Mooney Campbell, Margie Skaggs, Donna Dennis, and David Powers
- A book-signing by Marty Schotz, History Will Not Absolve Us, about conspiracy by the intelligence community to kill JFK
- A concert featuring Marlou Garbisch Johnston and her sisters as well as Margee Moss Bracken (and other talents)
- A one-man play with Dick Figge as John Barrymore.
