Dick Wilson ’51

Dick Wilson, Ray Woolson, Dick Roberts and Dave Conlan constituted the oldest class delegation at the October 1 celebration in Hanover of 100 years of Dartmouth soccer. Dick Roberts reports: “Sam Hopkins, assistant AD, was the master of ceremonies and in his introduction, he recognized two classes, first was the team from 1988 that was the first to win the ivy league, and second was 1955. The four of us stood to a great round of cheers, etc. That followed with Sam saying that we were still the only undefeated team in the 100-year history of soccer at Dartmouth–that was followed by another round of cheers. But the high-light was that after the conclusion of the event, most of this year’s team came back to our table to shake hands, pay homage and most of all just to say hello and give us best wishes. You know, they just wanted to meet us. (after 60 years I guess they just could not believe it!).”
