1928

The popular fall reunion will be held the weekend of the Brown game, October 14, with headquarters at the Norwich Inn. All events will be open to everyone whether staying at the Inn or not and we hope every '2Ber will drop by sometime during the weekend. Under the able chairmanship of President George Pasfield and Herb Sensenig, this annual event has been growing in popularity and last year attracted 46.

Claimant for the distance record at this reunion will be Al and Connie Fusonie of Norwood, N. C., where Al is personnel director for Collins and Aikman Corp. His son, Doug '58, finished his second year of medical school at Temple University. Al says Doug is the only son of a member of the 1925 eleven who made his Dartmouth football letter.

Dave McCathie, manager of the Country Club of Petersburg, Va., wanted to come to this reunion but couldn't get reservations in late August.

This has been a big year for European vacations. Roy Myers sent a card from Yalta and "Green Giant" Crawford Pollock sent one (in Craw's best French!) from Lausanne. Phil Orsi wrote from The Hague the end of May that he was sorry he missed by a day meeting Mary and me in London. Phil went on to Lebanon, Greece, Switzerland and back to London on business for the City Bank Farmers Trust Co.

Shortest trip was Bill Cogswell's - three days in Paris, three in London, on a mission for Fahnestock and Co.

John and Ann Cronin took their two daughters on a five-week tour. They flew to Frankfurt, hired a Volkswagen station wagon and chauffeur and toured southern Germany and Austria. Then followed five days in Switzerland, a week in Paris (where they saw Frank Kennedy '25), a week in London, and back on the "SS Bremen" with the Gus Wiedenmayers '29.

John Phillips sent us a review which will make you want to buy a copy of Bill Breyfogle's "Speak to the Earth" which was published this summer. This book is what Betty got together after Bill died. The reviewer, Haydn Pearson, says, "Mr. Breyfogle's tragic death in 1958 took a man who had much to give his fellow men. This compilation of essays is a fitting tribute to him and a book that all who love nature and want to know more about it should have." On lune 22 a public reading of the book was held in Norwich, Vt., for the benefit of the Town Library with a cast of readers which included Prof. Allen Foley '20, Dick Morin '24, Roy Dreher '27 and others.

Peg and John Phillips had cocktails and dinner with Eleanor and Craig Haines in Boston recently. On the way back to Montclair Peg and John stopped off and saw Alice and Art Gow at their home in Sachem's Head, Conn.
