As these notes are written, plans are being made for the annual '35 picnic outside the Yale Bowl on the day of the Yale game, October 31. Many members of the class from the New York and surrounding areas, accompanied by members of their families, are expected to show up for this gathering, which has developed into an enjoyable occasion on the fall schedule.
The night before the Yale game, members of the '35 Executive Committee meet at the Dartmouth Club in New York, where the main subject for discussion will be our class' 25th reunion scheduled to be held in Hanover this coming June.
Initial plans for the reunion were more firmly buttoned down at a Luncheon meeting earlier last month attended by Ralph Specht, Reg Bankart, Sven Karlen and Art Bamford. Reunion Chairman Specht announced that Art Bamford will be publicity chairman for the reunion, and that Art will soon start mailings to the entire class at regular intervals. Specht says that a complete program is being organized for the reunion weekend, including a full schedule for children of all ages. We will probably have more to report on these reunion activities in our column next month.
Ralph Specht, incidentally, has recently been appointed as district manager of the New York office of his firm, United Shoe Machinery Corp. He reports that his twin brother Frank is still keeping up his Reserve status with the U. S. Air Force, in which he holds the rank of a full Colonel.
Another item of official class news is that Bob Naramore has been made chairman of the nominating committee. Bob's committee will report at the 25th reunion, and offer a new slate of officers who will take over to direct '35 class activities for the next five years.
