Denver

This correspondent found himself absent from town on the usual Dartmouth luncheon date, and instead, pursuing one of his favorite pastimes, skiing in the deep powder snow in the high Colorado Rockies. Specifically, this consisted of a trip to Vail Pass Ski Area, the latest and largest development of this type in the United States, about 100 miles west of Denver situated in some of the most spectacular and beautiful alpine scenery that one can imagine. Colin Stewart '48, former Dartmouth Olympic skier, has been quite active in the Yail Pass area and was there on this occasion. His vocation is architecture and he has designed several of the homes at Vail; very attractive they are indeed. He also is lending his skiing experience and talents to the organization of this sport in the new area and set the slalom course for the recent intercollegiate and alpine pre-Olympic training events. Watching Colin sweep down the slopes in his graceful rhythmic manner is an aesthetic experience worth seeing.

"Meanwhile, back at the ranch," the Dartmouth monthly luncheon was proceeding in a lively manner. Mr. Allen Dines, Minority Leader of the State House of Representatives (Democrat), and Mr. Bill Griffith, Representative from the Denver area (Republican), engaged in a debate on the new re-apportionment of the Legislature and its effect on rural and urban representation. The luncheon was well attended and the debate held the attention of the group throughout.

Ed Hunter '55 is in charge of the "Dartmouth Cup" race this year, scheduled for Arapahoe Basin on March 17. This race always generates a great deal of interest amongst the Senior High School students of this area, and is an annual event fondly anticipated by the younger skiers.

Bob Woodbury '54 was passing out cigars recently, his wife Marlinda, having given birth to an 8½ lb. boy.

Harry Lewis '55 has been working hard and long making arrangements for the Tuck School Seminar which will be held in Denver in April. This will be the first attempt of a Western alumni group to bring to their community professors from the College to participate in a day-long seminar. This particular seminar will be devoted to discussion of several business and economic topics of general interest.

The last piece of news is also the most important and one which all members of the Dartmouth Association of the Great Divide are very proud. Last month Governor Love named our President, JudgeRobert Fullerton '51, to the Denver District Court bench. This is indeed a great honor and one well deserved by such a competent and highly respected judge. All of us are wishing Bob the very best in his future on the District bench.
