1938
It was with great enthusiasm that I received news that Bob Reno has undertaken to head up the Bequest and Estate Planning program for 1938. Certainly no one is better qualified to handle such an important and significant phase of our class activities. With tax laws as complicated and crucial as they are, many members of the class will welcome expert assistance along these lines.
Mark on your calendar the weekend of October 17, 1964, which will be the first annual Fall Reunion of the Class of 1938 at the Lake Morey Inn for the Brown Game. Returns from questionnaires have enabled us to give the management a firm commitment, thus reserving the space against the onslaughts of other classes. All of the questionnaires approved of the general plans as outlined in the Pace Setter; some felt that they would prefer the Hanover Inn, but that hostelry is booked solid every football weekend from year to year. All opinions were unanimous that this should be an annual fall affair, taking place each year on the corresponding weekend.
Definite plans and arrangements will be made this spring, a special Pace Setter put out, and reservations will be due at the Lake Morey Inn on the same date that football ticket applications for the Brown Game are due at the DCAC office. We have guaran- teed fifty people, but I am sure we will g0 way over that figure by the time the final returns are in. So far we have 32 adults and 15 children tentatively signed up.
The undercover agency retained by me to report on attendance at the Yale game has been notified that its services will not be needed next year, due to incompetence. Dwight Parkinson writes from Winnipeg that he definitely was not at the game, contrary to reports received in this office that he was. Dwight reports in from the Neurosurgery Department of the medical profession and also casts doubt on the validity of the identification of other members of the class that gloomy Saturday. This causes me to feel that perhaps the credibility of my chief witness would not stand up in court.
A frequent scorer in this column, SoxCalder, breaks in again as having been reelected a director of the National Paperboard Association; he is still president of the Union Bag-Camp Paper Co.
Dick Keresey, of Montclair, N. J., has been named chairman of the newly elected Montclair Charter Study Commission. He is assistant general counsel of Standard Oil of New Jersey, a member of Montclair's Citizens Advisory Committee for Community Improvement, and the board of trustees of the Montclair Community Welfare Council.
After certain hints from this department that some of our far-wandering contemporaries account for themselves, we at least got some news last month of Johnny Johnson. Now rumor along Main Street hath it that Jack Donovan has taken the fatal plunge after all these years of single bliss. I have agents working on this, and only hope they do better than they did in New Haven. This House Organ does not carry the insurance coverage that the Saturday Evening Post finds desirable, and it is no part of my intention to expose it to legal action.
Dallas Dobelbower, accountant formerly of Morris Plains, N. J., has removed himself from Mosquito Land to Silver Spring, Maryland; no further word as to details.
Hanover has been singularly devoid of 1938'ers this past month. Dick Niebling registered at the Motor Lodge just after Christmas but failed to check in here, contrary to explicit instructions in earlier columns. He is still teaching at Exeter as he has since graduation.
From Manchester, N. H., comes news that John G. Nelson Jr. has been elected president of the Manchester Institute of Arts and Sciences. He is a Certified Public Accountant and partner in the firm of Hartford, Nelson, and Company. He is vice president of the New Hampshire Society of Certified Public Accountants and past president of the New Hampshire Chapter of the National Association of Accountants. He is also a director of the Manchester Boys' Club. He has a boy at Mt. Hermon and a daughter at Webster School.
The Manchester Institute of Arts and Sciences is a non-profit adult education center offering courses in arts, crafts, languages, and other subjects; there are 600 students and 900 members.
Last month's issue carried a special feature on Vining Sherman, from whom this corner has had little accounting in the past 25 years or so. It appears that one has to be fairly close to Navy Public Relations to J;„ UP stories like this.
The local sportswriter for the local afternoon daily has charged Dartmouth alumni with cross negligence in scouting for basketball players, as the scores for the Big Green this winter so clearly indicate. Either get busy or grow some tall sons!
