1932

The next regular reunion of our Class is scheduled for 1963, and your Executive Committee has tapped Don Marcus for the job of reunion chairman. Don is in the New York office of United Fruit Co. and for the past several years has done an excellent job of organizing our local class dinners at the Dartmouth Club. He will undoubtedly appreciate our cooperation in drumming up a good turnout, so be sure to include a jaunt to Hanover in your long-range plans for June, 1963.

Bill Steck, a Cleveland lawyer from the neighboring Class of '31, has kindly taken the trouble to send us a clipping from the Plain Dealer announcing the hundredth anniversary celebration of Cowell and Hubbard, the jewelry firm of which Bud Hubbard is president. Founded by Bud's grandfather, the store has been a Cleveland institution since the days of the Civil War. Bud's father, Sterling B. Hubbard, is still active in the business as chairman of the board. According to the news article, Bud was elected president and treasurer of the firm in February, 1958. He is active in civic affairs, has three sons ranging from 10 to 23 years of age, and makes golf and bowling his hobbies.

Continuing where we left off last month with responses to Bill Lieson's annual letter to the Class: Bill Bennett, field sales manager for the Coated Abrasives Division of the Behr-Manning Co. at Troy, N. Y., reports one son a high school junior and the other just beginning junior high. Bob Harrison, Montclair, N. J., says their oldest daughter, Holly, will enter Smith College next year. Charlie Doerr, Bronxville, N. Y., reports their daughter Georgiane is a junior at Colorado University and son John, 17, headed for the study of architecture this year.

Harry Litzenberger writes that in the last two years Denver has blossomed into a major convention city and that he is actively interested in this development as assistant manager of the Denver Convention and Visitors Bureau, located at 225 West Colfax Ave. in that city. He says he would certainly be happy to hear from any of us who might attend a convention there. He also mentions that last fall he had the pleasure of working closely with Dr. Cal Fisher, who was general chairman of the Colorado Health Fair held in the Denver Colosseum in connection with the American Medical Association Clinical Session.

From Delmar, N. Y., Whit Daniels writes that their daughter Jocelyn, 18, is a freshman at Bowling Green State University in Ohio and wants to become a secondary school teacher. Their son Jeff, 14, is in first year of high school. Whit adds that he is vice president of the local school board, having won election two years ago in a tough, three-candidate contest which required the voters to go to the polls three times before the necessary majority could be obtained.

Pete Sawyer, our forestry expert, writes from Ashland, Me., that he got the crops in and finished combining his buckwheat before the first snowfall. For those who would seek him out in his northern retreat he offers the information that Ashland is in Aroostook County, 50 miles north of Patten on the east end of the northern route across Baxter State Park.

Jim Whiton, militant editor and publisher of Denville, N. J., informs us that he is the owner of a 28-foot Triton sloop with the intriguing name "Other Woman." He encloses a news story of a two-day "off soundings" race last fall from New London, Conn., to Montauk Point to Three Mile Harbor, N. Y., in which he and his crew placed third among 25 entries.

From Billings, Mont., Jerk Elliot writes that he and Esther plan to come east this spring to attend the graduation of their oldest son, Bruce, from Princeton. He expresses the hope that some Dartmouth '32 activity will develop at the same time.

To close, here is a terse business report from apple grower Ben Drew, unfortunately printed here too late to be of benefit to you speculators: Hurricane Esther did not hit; big crop now in storage; apple market is lousy, but statistical position not too desperate; export demand strong; shorter crops in other areas.

Congressman Perkins Bass '34 (r), Republican from New Hampshire's SecondDistrict, has announced his candidacy for the U. S.
