1928

The word from Hank Walker, our Reunion Chairman, is that you should start making plans now to attend the big 34th reunion in Hanover next June - and bring the family. The class officers and the Reunion Committee are meeting in Hanover October 14 during the '28 Fall Reunion, and again in November in New York to work on the arrangements.

Dana Condon, United Fruit Company's General Traffic Manager for Central America, should be in advertising. In just one letter he has convinced us that our next trip should be to Guatemala. His last '28 visitor was Bob Reid and he urges more '28ers to visit "The Land of Eternal Spring." For five years Dana has been a director of the Institute Guatemalteco-Americao, a joint cultural undertaking sponsored by the governments of Guatemala and the United States. The institute has 1400 students, learning principally English and Spanish. Dana is also vice president and chairman of the House Committee of the local American Club.

Joe Chay, the always-smiling Korean boy who was with us for two years, writes from Dasu, Kaohsiung Province, Formosa, that he reads the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, is a starch manufacturer, has a daughter living in Los Angeles and two younger children going to schools in Formosa.

Gil Swanson was '28's leading figure in the news recently. His picture appeared in the N. Y. Times with the news of his election as a director of the Campbell Soup Co. A clipping from the Omaha News announces his election as a director of the Omaha National Bank, arid fills us in on what he has been doing since he and his brother sold their frozen food business to the Campbell Soup Co. in 1955. Gil became a Campbell vice president but resigned three years later to purchase the Butter Nut Foods Co., of Omaha, of which he is both chairman and president. Other business interests include shopping centers in Los Angeles and Buena Park, the Pauley-Phillips Offshore Oil Venture in Santa Barbara, and Holiday Inn and Thunderbird Park in Palm Springs.

As we approach the holiday season we want to remind you to order your magazine subscriptions and renewals from Ken Turner. The Class of '28 and hundreds of Dartmouth men everywhere have solicited subscriptions for Ken and are thrilled that he has now become self-supporting despite the handicap of almost complete paralysis from polio. Ask all your friends to send their subscriptions and renewals to Ken Turner, Free Hill Road, Tomkins Cove, N. Y.

If you are attending the Princeton game, remember to drop around to the Peacock Inn afterward for cocktails and/or dinner. Thirty-two showed up last year.
