Although some of you lucky classmates have already embarked on your winter migrations, there are still a few notes and post cards of summertime news to dig out of the mail bag. These will be dispatched at once.

Dr. Al Meyer of Rockford, Ill., has proved his qualifications for next class secretary by bringing us up-to-date on at least two formerly lost sheep in Illinois. Al writes,

"Thank you for your letter inquiring as to my activities. I make my living practicing surgery with the Rockford Clinic, a group of twenty physicians. I am married to a former Bennington College girl, Agnes Quisenberry, and we have four unusual children. John Ovitz lives in Sycamore, about forty miles south of Rockford, where he is a member of the Elm Street Clinic in the practice of medicine. We occasionally see each other and have some mutual medical problems.

Bob Frank and his wife and three children live in Lake Geneva, also about forty miles from Rockford, and he is doing a marvelous job in chemistry. He is working for the Morton Salt Co. He is called in consultation all over this country and to many foreign countries and still finds time to paddle a canoe. Roger Sheets is a big business tycoon in Rockford and also is doing very well. We have an alumni club which meets two or three times a year to recall old times and philosophize about their future.

We would be pleased to see any of our. classmates should they come by this part of the country.

Fred Hackett, barrister of Farmingdale, L. I., is to be congratulated on his marriage to the former Laura Lyman, Smith '36, of Santa Barbara, Calif. Fred writes in part, "I'm still practicing law in Farmingdale, L. I., and finding that the challenges grow with the practice. Last June when I re-married, I acquired three delightful stepchildren, one of whom presented us with a grandson on October 1. Both step-daughter, Julie Lara, and her son Mark are doing fine in their home at Santa Barbara, Calif. We now live at 16 Evergreen Avenue in Huntington Station, N. Y., and are busier than beavers fixing the place up. We'd be glad to see any '36 friends who can find us."

An idea for the use of a gondola ski lift down the middle of the Strip at Las Vegas comes from Larry Jump. There are a few limitations to this suggestion as Larry sees it; but if it can be sold, he's the one who can do it. "I am up to my neck in the direction of two ski lift corporations," writes Larry Jump from the Arapahoe Basin in Colorado, "involving imports from Italy and France and resale in the United States. Pomalift, Inc. has been going for some five years now, and has a creditable record of sales consisting of nearly 50% of the new lifts in the United States. Tele-Car, Inc. has two installations, one at Sugar Bush, Vt., and the other at Wildcat Mountain, N. H. I occasionally get to Hanover to check our installation at Dartmouth Ski-Ways. I always look at the register at The Inn, but seldom see anyone from '36."

In the Capital Gifts Drive Kirk Liggett and his assistant class agents brought our class into second place in the "Go Dartmouth" competition. The first place class was '34 (which was the twenty-fifth reunion class this year) so our second place achievement is a moral first place victory. Kirk personally contacted over 75 classmates. The books do not officially close until December 31, so if you have not given all you wish to give for this milestone for Dartmouth you still have time to rush your check to Kirk.

Brew and Marge Towne send "Vaya con Dios!" to all from the White Stallion Ranch in Tucson, Ariz. John and Nancy Sawyer wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Secretary, 16 Hickory Lane Darien, Conn.
