On Jan. 24, John Funk received the Distinguished Service to the Public Award of the New Hampshire Bar Assn. John, who is a partner in the firm of Gallagher, Callahan & Gartrell in Concord was cited for his work on the Board of New Hampshire Legal Assistance, and his “tenacious quest to expand resources available for legal services.” John has also raised funds for a community music organization, and helped create programs to train and aid people who are out of work and for various women’s needs.
Our Class of ’67 Scholarship was awarded this year to Robert Huber ’05. Robert has written to thank the class as follows: A year ago I was sitting in my room, staring at the student budget for Princeton, wondering how my family could ever pay even close to that amount of money. But when I received my financial aid package, and I saw that my education was virtually paid for in grants, I was overcome with relief and with joy. Your scholarship made it possible for me to attend the school of my dreams, and I cannot express how thankful I am for that.
NEWS ON OUR 35TH. By now you have heard from Chair Tom Amato about the plans to Clear the Track, May 30 — June 2. On Fri., May 31, at a luncheon at Prospect House, we will announce an honorary member of the Class of ’67. Come and join the celebration.
REMINDER: Our ’67 NYC dinner will be on Apr. 22, with cocktails hosted by Frances and Allen Adler at their home followed by dinner at Sette Mezzo. Contact Roger Lidell at 800-221-2598 ext. 894 for details.
