A FEW OF THE TRAVELERS
Herb and Frances Redman reported a delightful three weeks in Hawaii early this spring. Dick and Bunny Mandel left borne May 15 for a six to seven weeks' trip to Europe. They will return late in June (this of course is a business trip!). Helen and I vacationed in Arizona and Mexico for about four weeks in March and April. On the way out I had lunch in Chicago with TubberWeymouth, Hank Parker and Bob May. In Phoenix. Helen and I had a wonderful reunion with Frank and Claire Poor; and in Tucson we enjoyed the hospitality of Malcolm and Ann Merrill with whom we journeyed into Mexico for better than a week. We also enjoyed a tour of the Spanish castle of Del and Billee Worthington in the foothills of the Catalina mountains. Dick and Sybil Lamb, who were vacationing in Tucson, joined the '26ers for cocktails at the Merrills. Just missed Ranny Cox who left prior to our arrival. Dick Gunthorp was also reported to be in Tucson, but we weren't able to find him at home. Quite a reunion in the southwest for the Class of 1926.
Our Class was well represented in Hanover the weekend of May 3-5 when many class officers gathered there as guests of the College. Those representing our Class were Hub Harwood, Chairman; Ken (and Helen) Weeks, Secretary; Ed (and Evelyn) Hanlon, Treasurer; Chip (and Delores) Chipman, Newsletter Editor; and Herm (and Dorothy) Trefethen, Head Class Agent. Gordon "Chip" Chipman was honored at the class officers luncheon by a citation as the outstanding Newsletter Editor of the year. Chip has just completed his term as President of the Newsletter Editors' Association.
Last month it was reported in this column that Jim and Betty Traquair had sold their farm on the outskirts of Cincinnati and had moved into a smaller and more convenient location in the city. It is with great sorrow that we now report the very sudden and tragic death of Betty who was killed in a head-on automobile accident in Cincinnati at mid-afternoon, April 26. Betty, active in civic and social affairs of the community, was an avid golfer and was Vice President of the Greater Cincinnati Women's Golf Association. Our sincere sympathy to Jim has been conveyed to him by the Class Officers.
Once again this reminder of our informal reunion to be held on the campus August 16-18. With the college in full swing during the summer term, there will be many interesting and exciting events scheduled that weekend. Have you made your reservation? Better write the Hanover Inn, or elsewhere, without further delay.
The Alumni Fund campaign closes June 30. Time is running fast. Mail your contribution, or an additional contribution, today to carry the 1963 Fund over the $1,250,000 objective. Help to keep Dartmouth strong today, stronger tomorrow.
