Tucson

DESPITE GAS-RATIONING and a persistently cool and longish winter in a climate where weather is not only the principal topic of conversation but the main-spring of subsistence and existence, Charley Milham '06 discovered, uncovered, and delivered twenty- six Dartmouth men and wives for the annual dinner-meeting at the Studio Patio in Tucson, on March 15.

Charley and Alma Milham divide their time between Tucson and Hanover, a yearlydouble that should rank tops in the books of Dartmouth men. His facility in this respect, is, however, excelled by his ability as hospitality chairman; in any event, with the Mexican border but a few miles away, certain onerous shortages were successfully overcome. Rev. George Ferguson Jr. '21, rector of St. Phillipsin-the-Hills, was re-elected to the post of president, and Robert Fish '18, an Arizonian recuperant now residing in Tucson, was elevated to the position of secretary.

It was especially good to see Larry Griswold 'OB looking and feeling ever so much better than a year ago, and to have with us Lt. John A. Atwood '39 of Davis-Monthan Field and his visiting brother Rog Atwood '47, sons of Hap Atwood '13 of Alumni Fund fame; Lt. Fred Lynch '41, also from nearby Davis-Monthan; Cadet Lowell Thomas Jr. '46 of Ryan Field who went skiing on neighboring Mt. Lemmon the previous week-end (come to Arizona for winter sports!); and Lt. William Holliday '43 on leave in Tucson.

Also present were Ted Fellows '20, John Harlow '28, Benedict Hardman '31, John Croly '32, Jim Doehler '33, and Saul Deitel '35. Undoubtedly other Dartmouth men live or will be stationed in the vicinity. They are cordially invited to make themselves known to George Ferguson or Bob Fish and join with us in the mid-year picnic at the Arizona Inn or El Conquistador.

Secretary.
