We've received the first entry in the Class Grandfathers Derby and it would appear from the qualifications that it will be a hard one to beat. Don Hunt, together with Dottie of course, are the proud grandparents of fourteen (14) youngsters ranging in age from two months to ten years and divided into five colts and nine fillies. The numerical distribution among the three daughters, to whom some credit must be given for these youngsters, is fairly even. Barbara has two boys and two girls; Nancy has one boy and four girls; and Dana has two boys and three girls. Nancy's family, incidentally, has a real Dartmouth background. She married Kim Swezey '50, son of Carroll Swezey '19. Is anyone prepared to challenge the Hunt entry? If so, we should be glad to pass on to you for judgment his qualifications.
