Al Foley's Newsletter reviewed the Princeton pregame luncheon in Leverone Field House listing all the '2os who were seen at the game. Hazel and I have been to all the games to date (Nov. 5). The only '20s we saw at the U.N.H. game in Durham were Charles and Elsa Crathern and Jack Lappin. Among those pleased with the score at the Harvard game were Eben and Ruth Wallace, Mel and Helen Merritt, Charlie McGoughran, Gugger and Josephine Fiske, Ed and Ginnie Bowen, Pat Holbrook, and Ken and Hilda Spalding. While tailgating on Soldiers Field Road before the game Jim Morse, seeing the '20 banner came over. He is the son of the late Robert Morse and Isabel. Isabel, by the way, was at the Princeton game but did not get to the pregame luncheon and neither Al Foley or I saw her.

Nate and Mildred Whiteside were in and around Hanover for about a week, and made a nice call on us in Moultonboro while touring around to see the foliage. We saw them at the Brown game the next Saturday, also Charles and Elsa Crathern, Dal and Margaret Dairymple, Sherry and Elizabeth Baketel, Charlie McGoughran, Pat Holbrook, Ed and Ginnie Bowen, Hib Richter, Al Foley, Buttons and Eva Hill, Dorothy Sampson and son George. We saw Sammie Sampson and Joe McDonald after the game; they were probably at the game also.

At the Yale game we saw Art and PegSmith, Hal Bidwell, Charlie McGoughran,Mel and Helen Merritt, daughter Nancy and grandson, Bob and Eleanor Steinholtz. Charlie Crathern had made a very trick standard for the '20 banner to attach to the Macomber station wagon so it could be seen above the other cars. However, we went to the Yale game with friends in their car and it was so windy the banner wouldn't stay put so could not be seen at any great distance. We know Edna Youmans was there and Bing and Jane Wliitakcr were to be there, but did not get to see them - perhaps there were others also. It was a mild day except for the wind; the score, needless to say, was disappointing.

Ted Weis has been hospitalized but has recuperated enough to get to Florida where he and Margaret will be at 3221 N.E. 12th Street, Pompano Beach until spring.

We had hoped this issue could go in without any mention of "In Memoriams" but AI Foley wrote of the long sickness and death of Phil Frazier after returning from Reunion, and we regret also to have to report that Dick Charlock died on the same day in California.

A note from Hal Clark tells that he is still at the N.Y.U. Bellevue Medical School as Associate Professor of Clinical Surgery. His teaching, however, has decreased but he is still carrying on a full-time practice in New York City. His daughter, Mandy, is a sophomore at Randolph-Macon in Lynchburg, Va., and his son Hal Jr. is a freshman at Guilford College in Greensboro, N. C. Steve and Jessie Graves have both retired, he after 42 years service with the Cleveland Y.M.C.A., and she from hospital maternity nursing. They have moved to Novato, Calif., 30 miles north of San Francisco, to be nearer to their children and grandchildren. You can't keep a good man down though, as he quickly picked up an interesting summer job at Humboldt Redwoods State Park and is now keeping fit playing tennis twice a week. Joe Brewer writes that he is still plugging away at Queens College with about 20,000 students milling about. And, listen to this! Maury Dewey counts 23 grandchildren, and if that isn't enough to ring the bell, another will be coming along in '65.

Shortie Stickhey calls attention to a correction in his address. It should be 81-11 45th Avenue, Elmhurst on Long Island, N. Y. He and Mabel are still remembering the good time they had at Reunion in June. Muir Lind regrets it was not possible for him to return to Dartmouth after his discharge from service in World War I, but he is working on three grandsons urging them to make the grades to get into Dartmouth. Muir has been retired for a number of years but keeps abreast of the class news through Carl Lenz, and ran across Nate Whiteside last summer in Leland, Mich., where he has a summer home.

Although I have not had official announcement, we hear Sam Stratton was married on October 31 in the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, to Mrs. Samuel Howard of New York and Rutland, Vt. He has a leave of absence from Prentice-Hall and they are off on an extended cruise. Congratulations, Sam, and we'll be looking for the announcement which is probably in the mail.

Word has been received that GrosvenorPlowman has resigned as Deputy Under Secretary for Transportation. He may, however, continue on a consulting basis but hopes to spend the greater part of his time at his new home at 48 Partridge Circle, Portland, Me. He has recently had a book published, "Elements of Business Logistics."

A news release has been received advising that Sherry Baketel, a representative of Union Central Life Insurance Company since his college graduation, was recently honored at the company's Presidents' Club national convention in Cincinnati. He first qualified for the Million Dollar Round Table in 1944 and again in 1964. The news release gave a very impressive list of the many accomplishments and offices Sherry has held in all walks of his life, but his classmates all realize what a terrific guy he is without the list. Congratulations on this latest award, Sherry!

Sig Sigler has been working six days a week as finance chairman for "Citizens for Goldwater." I know how you must feel, Sig. Ralph Yuill is already looking forward to Reunion in 1970 and says "See you at the 50th." Dean Travis, now retired, finds many things to keep him. busy, bird hunting, trout fishing, dog training, and is interested in conservation and helps out "Ducks Unlimited" whenever possible.

When George Vincent paid his class dues to Al Frey, it reminded him that next year would be their 50th high school reunion and is already rounding up the boys to attend. Max Moyer's son, Reed, is now an associate professor of Economics at Michigan State, and has a new book now rolling off the Harvard University Press. Leo Dowling still regrets that he could not make Reunion last June. Larry Lovejoy, although he retired last July, can't seem to find time to do all the things he had been planning. Dan Daniell is another one that has joined the rocking chair brigade.

Frank Morey got tired of rocking after he retired from N. Y. Telephone Company so got himself a part time job with Dun and Bradstreet. His daughter, Barbara, has moved to Hawaii, her husband being a soil scientist with the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. I expect it won't be long before we'll hear that Frank is using that as an excuse to take a trip to the tropical isle also. Charlie Goodnow was probably the most disappointed classmate not to be able to return to Hanover last June. As a substitute, he has just left for a trip to Grand Canyon, Santa Fe, Phoenix, and San Diego, but still hopes to get East next year. Charlie, you better start .planning now to make it about football time and build your trip around Dartmouth night in Hanover.

We hear Bill Farnham in far-off Spokane is still on the job but toying with the thought of retiring. In the meantime he is looking for some of the '20 class to take a trip to his part of the country.

Secretary, R.F.D. 1, Center Harbor, N. H.
