We were in Hanover for the opening football game of the season - University of New Hampshire, which game coincided with a meeting of the Tuck School Board of Overseers. We had pleasant visits with the Pat Holbrooks and the George Sacketts, and a fleeting glimpse of Charlie and ElsaCrathern.

At the Brown Game, among others KenSpalding and Jack Mayer were prominently on hand as were the Chilcotts and the Merritts. It rained so hard the day of the game that the Chilcotts, the Merritts, and we holed up in our room at the Inn and watched a game on TV. At the same time we had a radio in the room recording the Dartmouth-Brown Game. It must be a sign of something or other that we refused to brook the hazards of the downpour and the only thing I can think of is that we have reached that time in life. It really did rain and was a bit on the cold side.

As I write these notes I am preparing to fly up to Boston for the Harvard game and my good friend Mel Merritt is picking me off at the airport.

During my absence from New York on vacation our old friend Henry H. Hayes of Lansing, Mich., came to the big city and gave me a ring. I am tremendously sorry that I was not on hand to welcome him. Better luck next time, Hank.

Recently Professor Richard H. Goddard, director of Shattuck Observatory, was honored by a U. S. Weather Bureau Award for his service in directing the College's weather observation program since 1933, and for Dartmouth's contribution in the field of weather observations for more than a century. The award was made by Mr. Robert H. Lautzenheiser of Boston, state climatologist for the U. S. Department of Commerce Weather Bureau.

One of the most interesting weddings of the summer season was that of Joan Katharine Sackett, daughter of George and Mildred Sackett, to Robert Clendenin Proctor, son of Mr. and Mrs. Barton A. Proctor, on June 10 at the Larchmont Avenue Presbyterian Church. Joan attended Knox School in St. James, L. I., Pine Manor Junior College, the Barmore School and graduated from Garland Junior College. Her husband graduated from the University of Maryland and served with the Coast Guard. He is affiliated with the Royal McBee Corporation, manufacturer of typewriters, in Stamford, Conn. Sincere good wishes to the beautiful bride and her lucky groom.

Art Earle apparently has lifted one corner of the veil of his retirement for he is now reported as working on the construction of an addition to the Franklin, N. H., Hospital. His address for now is R.D. 1, Tilton, N. H.

Jack Lappin's legion of friends will be happy to know that he is in good shape following major surgery at Mercy Hospital, Portland, Me. I got the word from SherryBaketel and immediately phoned Jack at the hospital. We had a good talk and apparently he is on the mend. It so happens that Anna had been in Europe and knew nothing about all this. By now she has long since returned home and I am sure is providing the best of care for Jack. All this brought forth a very pleasant note from Steve Johnson in Portland, who said he would look in on Jack.

Well, now it is official! Bob Farwell has retired as Manager of the New England District sales office of DuPont's Dyes and Chemicals Division. It would be good to hear from you, Bob, concerning your future plans.

A card from Charlie Sargent, attending a convention in Omaha, Nebr., promises to send a lot of news later. When it comes, Charlie, I'll tell you all about Dino and New England!

A very pleasant message from Tink Lombard tells about his recent trip to Portugal, Spain, Tangiers, Mallorca, and the French Riviera with a group of 86 AT&T and Western Electric employees. The trip took about four weeks and Tink says they had a wonderful time and came back healthy, friendly, and much wiser. He reports that the most beautiful city was Lisbon, Portugal; the most interesting Tangiers with its veiled women and blanketed Arab shepherds; and the places most likely to get their future business Mallorca and Nice. Sounds wonderful!

Henry Spero has been elected to the Executive Committee of Graphic Arts Equipment and Supply Dealers. Incidentally, Henry was instrumental in helping NateWhiteside locate his new plant in Chicago. He was considerate enough to locate it across from one of our service stations.

Sherm Adams was master of ceremonies at the Forestry Conference of the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests on October 6 at Crawford House, N. H. An old hand at that type assignment, Sherm turned in a sparkling performance.

Brad Oakley checked in from Scottsdale, Ariz. He reports that after leaving Schaefer Brewery in 1954 they left Long Island and tried a little building speculation in Easton, Md. They also had a farm. Neither worked out so they sold all Eastern holdings and went West. They stopped in Phoenix to visit their son and soon after bought a home in Scottsdale. Brad says the weather there is heaven for eight months and purgatory for four. In the future they plan to come East for the summer to beat the heat. Brad is now fully retired and belongs to the Phoenix 'D' Club. Good to hear from you, Brad, after such a long time.

Jack Allenberg has moved to Van Nuys, Calif., from Spokane. I haven't any data on the move, but have an idea that retirement is in the picture. John Felli will henceforth be at Southold, L. I., having deserted Teaneck, N. J., for his retirement stretch. Norm Richardson seems to have departed from Laconia, N. H., and is now at Delray Beach, Fla. Maybe that's only for the winter. I'm not sure.

I record with great sadness the sudden death of Jerome L. Kahn on August 23 while vacationing in Puerto Rico. On behalf of all members of the Class I extend sincere sympathy to his wife Marian. A formal obituary will appear in a later issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.

As these notes reach you the Christmas season will be at hand. Dorothy and I join in wishing for all of you a Merry Christmas and the best of everything in the year coming up. Selfishly we wish for a little more grist for this mill, so if any of you get to feeling expansive, nostalgic or even downright emotional about your families, your old classmates, and such, drop a note to the secretary and confide in him. Cheerio for now.

Al Foley, 1920's well-known Professor ofHistory, who is now pursuing a literarycareer as "Town and Gown" columnistfor the Alumni Magazine, is shown givingthe principal address at the dedicationof Daniel Webster Hall at FryeburgAcademy in Maine on November 4.
