Our sympathy to Jim Barney's son Wendell '29 of Winchester, Va., whose wife "Patsy" died suddenly last June. Wendell Jr. had earlier married Betty Fauver, a staff nurse at Winchester Hospital. News from Roger Barney's son Jim, Princeton '66, last month omitted the fact that he, like Joel Benezet, Dartmouth '66, is interested in rowing, also in glee club and choir. Sister Alice graduates Phi Beta Kappa from Wellesley in June. Did you know that Roger himself received his Dorchester Woodrow Wilson diploma from his Dad's classmate, Tim Lynch? Sometime more about Roger's part in the work at Parishfield, Mich., studying "the terms in which the Gospel may be made relevant to contemporary society; how social organization should be made for man, not man for the social hierarchy."

Last October Ned Baldwin's daughter Marion Tryon of Virginia and Captain Ray visited Fred and Milly Baldwin in St. Johnsbury, "reveling once more in Vermont's spectacular beauty." Ray's father died last August; later his sister left for three years in Djakarta, Indonesia.

Here's a report on Lena (Mrs. Clarence)Joy's family: Daughter "Polly" Plumb's son Bill and wife Barbara flew last year for their vacation to Milan, brought back an Alpha Romeo sports car; Polly herself now drives husband Maurice's former Pontiac; son "Dr. Bob" '45 (who organized the first Dartmouth club in China) and wife "Nan" and their three children are happy in the midst of a busy professional and church life in Danbury, Conn, to have an occasional visit from Lena; and daughter Barbara, children's librarian in Rutland, with husband "Slim" Douglas (lawyer, alderman, and social studies teacher) and son Walter (UVM student of bridge building) made a long auto tour of the West last summer. They returned more than ever "enamored with life in America, where there's freedom with responsibility, and a fundamental belief by the people in one God."

Jim Walker's daughter, Marion Decato, and husband Ernest were building a new home at Webster Lake so could not bring daughter Judy to '99's 62nd. Judy is at Wheaton College in Norton, Mass., majoring in music this year instead of math. Last summer she played the flute at a Festival Orchestra concert and sang with the Chorus in the "Devil and Daniel Webster" opera at Durham.

Warren and Helen Kendall's fall and Christmas visits with daughter Roberta Kennedy in Charlotte, N.C., were followed by the Jan. 5 arrival of the second great-grandson— a namesake - Warren Cleaveland Kennedy Jr. in Raleigh. N.C., and by the Feb. 26 arrival of the third great-grandchild (a girl!), Lynn Cleaveland Woodward in Baltimore. Regrettably, between these two events, hospitalization and surgery became necessary for Helen, from which she is now recuperating satisfactorily. The first three days in March Pres. Dickey visited Sarasota. Gatherings at the local Dartmouth. Field and Yacht Clubs included not only Warren and Helen, but Warren's brother Leon '10 and son Bill '32 with their wives. Bill himself the following week addressed the Ivy League group. Meanwhile, Amy (Mrs. Daniel) Ford and her sister, Mrs. Edna Bartholomew from Klamath Falls, Ore., also entertained the Kendalls. Daughter Roberta and son Gordon had been visiting at 1050 Hampton Road in February, but missed the fun of early March, as did the Arthur Beals, who were impromptu dinner guests on their way home from the Christmas holidays with the Malcolm Beals in Miami.

As we all know, the ANNUAL CAMPAIGN FOR THE ALUMNI FUND is being launched, and we may expect to hear from Warren at any time.

Herb Rogers has a birthday April 29; more about him in May.
