1930
The congratulations and best wishes of the entire Class go to Nelson Rockefeller on his outstanding triumph for the New York governorship. We all know he will bring to the job a capacity and an attitude which are certain to augur well for the future of the State.
It should be noted well also that '30 has two other men who rolled along with the victory. In an article recounting the new Governor's attempt to establish good feeling with the labor union leaders, The New York Times referred to Vic Borella as having acted as Nelson's chief labor adviser throughout the campaign. In a companion article describing Nelson's success in TV, The Times paid tribute to Pat Weaver who was the television adviser for the campaign.
Check up another highly successful informal reunion for the Class of 1930! Using the Woodstock Inn as a focal point, some 78 classmates, wives, children and guests gathered from all points of the compass to celebrate the affair and to take in the Penn-Dartmouth game. Thanks to the financial wizardry of Harry Condon who was responsible for the whole operation, the affair actually showed a profit and Harry's official list of participants is as follows:
Red and Marcia Alcorn, Al and Babs Allyn, Dick Barnard, Bill and Doris Blais, Wally and Louise Blakey, Rollie and Dot Booma, Dick and Gwen Bowlen, Ed and Elizabeth Butterworth and two guests, Herb and Marge Chase, Harry and Barbara Condon, Pete and Libby Davis, Al and Lucia Dickerson, Frank and Liz Doherty, Chuck and Deedee Faye, Al and Maggie Fisk, Les and Edith Godwin, Red and Julie Gould, Hugh and Alyce Johnson, Bob Keene, Mel and Elizabeth King, Dave and Harriet Latham, Ev and Dot Low, Alex and Carol McFarland, Jim and Genevieve Mitchell, Henry Newell, Phil and Liz Peck and daughter "Penny," Charlie and Mildred Rauch and son Charles Jr., Charlie and Eleanor Raymond, Fred and Barbara Scribner, Russ and Nolda Sigler and son, Arnold, and son's guest, and Dean and Mary Wiggin.
The list, however, is only part of the story.Actually the party got well under way onFriday night at the Woodstock Inn and fromthat time on, additional couples kept coming.
Just prior to the game, some 38 of the group had a picnic lunch on the grass by the tennis courts. And the beer and ale were supplied by Carl and Carol Haffenreffer who wired their regrets for not being present from Vienna. At the picnic also there were in attendance Jack and Dorothy Rich with two guests, Ev Low's son Gilbert, now a Dartmouth sophomore, and Huey Johnson's twin boys who are freshmen.
After the game everyone got together at the Inn for cocktails and dinner and at that time, several additional couples joined the group. Charlie and Larry Widmayer came over from Hanover as did Gerry and Timmy Jeremiah. Al McGrath and his attractive daughter Suzanne joined the party after dinner on Saturday and prior to the dinner we had a chance to visit with Bill and Alberta Truex and their son William and his guest who stopped by briefly to visit the reunion. One couple that seldom misses a class affair was among the missing over the weekend - Vic and Ellie Borella, both of whom were hard at it at the campaign headquarters of Nelson Rockefeller and who wired their regrets.
The fact of the matter is that the party was so successful as far as the secretary was concerned that he didn't do as well as he could have in gathering news but with Charlie Raymond's help, here are a few items that we did manage to pick up.
Dean Wiggin reported he has a daughter at Oberlin and a son, who having completed Harvard Medical School is now interning m Cleveland. Dean himself says he has a law firm of seven lawyers and seven secretaries over in Manchester, N. H.
The Pete Davises have a daughter working in Denver on a geological survey, another at Wellesley and a son at Brockton High The son is one of the outstanding basketball players in eastern Massachusetts and we know that Doggie Julian has his eye on him.
The Scribners' three boys are now scattered with one a senior at Dartmouth, another a junior at Trinity and a third still in school in Portland, Me.
Charlie and Mildred Rauch's Trina is going to the Westover School in Connecticut and Charles Jr. is at the Woodstock School.
The Rollie Boomas were at the party and reported that right after the Class Executive Committee meeting they were taking a trip to California. In addition to this oil business, Rollie also has been interested in recent years in a specialty mail factory in Framingham, Mass., which he says is just about ready to start contributing some to the family fortunes. Rollie explained that Hal was not present at the reunion because his son is playing for Exeter and doing a good job.
The McFarlands no longer have any children at home with Bruce now a sophomore at Trinity and Carol after graduating from Newton High School starting her freshman year at Hood College. She says she loves everything about college life in Maryland except that it's too far distant from Hanover.
We also had a few moments to chat with Al Dickerson, now completely recovered from his bee bite but still carrying adrenalin as a precautionary measure. Inskip is now at the University of North Carolina getting his Master's in English and Gregory is a senior at Harvard. In another month or two, Al and Lucia are both going to take off for a trip to Europe.
The Raymonds stayed with the Bowlens over the weekend and brought along their younger son Allen, since Chip the older boy is now at Wilbraham Academy and Sally has started her freshman year at Connecticut College for Women.
Getting away from the Hanover scene, we find that Dr. William N. Fenton, Assistant Commissioner for State Museum and Science Service in New York State is acting as general chairman at a meeting of representatives of 22 prominent Natural History Museums in the United States and Canada. This is the second such conference to be held in Albany and is under the auspices of the State Education Department.
