1899

Don Williams '07, classmate of Tedo Chase's brother Phil, reports Mary Adams, widow of Charlie Adams, is doing well this winter, out walking every day when weather permits. Roger Benezet '32, Louis Benezet's son Federal Civil Service, has been building in Guam, Bangkok and Samoa - would prefer taking Edna to New Hampshire. Dick Butterfield '30 and Roger's sister Genevieve have three grandchildren, Joan Whitcomb's David and Jonathan, and Anne Moffat's David Douglas III. Dick recently built a school in White River, now constructing campus for Quinnipiac College, Hamden, Conn. „

Peddy Miller's daughter Gustova Brown says her daughter, Petra Lopes, was home on re-employment leave from Germany just long enough to bear her third child, Melinda Jane, July 6 on American soil. SamSmith's sisters Florence and Stella live in Wayland, Mass. And there Hawley B. Chase's granddaughter Betsy teaches first grade. Last summer she taught remedial reading in Beverly, while husband Garrison Nelson ran a small store. Bones Woodward's son Walt has sold his two newspapers, bought a big sturdy cruiser. He and Milly, with Mij and Mary, visit their daughter Carolyn and David Burdick and two children in Tacoma. Hopes his grandson may make Dartmouth!

Here's a tip for your vacation — after attending the Sixty-Fifth in June: a European tour. Combine "Queen Elizabeth" to Southampton; housekeeping bus through England and Scotland; housekeeping boat along Thames and Oxford Canal; train back to London for sight-seeing by day, play-going by night; plane to Munich; rented Volkswagen through Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and France, with five days in Paris; services at Notre Dame, lunch at Orly Airport, an hour in Shannon Airport, and by midnight, U.S. time, snug in your own Hanover beds. Time schedule packed tight as your luggage.

Who's recommending all this? Dave andEthel Storrs' daughter Phoebe and husband Jack (fresh from 25th Princeton Reunion), Martha (fresh from high school, and ready for Smith), 13-year-old Johnny, and 15-year- old nephew, Jay Stebbins. Daughter Ann, now a junior at University of Vermont, was already in Germany participating in the Experiment in International Living, while David, 17, was back home earning money for later college expenses, and hardening himself for fall football by scrubbing woodwork and scraping floors.

The travelers saw "Julius Caesar" at Stratford-on-Avon, but searched vainly in Sutton-cum-Lound for traces of ancestor Samuel Storrs who lived there before coming to America. On the canal boat "Maid Mary Celia" it was fun for all hands to "Heave ho!" and help pull the boat through the locks. Jack himself enjoyed meeting various British barristers, and later browsing in Munich where in college days he had spent a summer vacation. Perhaps the party's most picturesque hours were in a tiny Liechtenstein mountain village named Triesen. There they ate dinner on a balcony looking down the valley of the Rhine. "Little lights sparkled from lonely spots in the surrounding mountains. A full moon rose behind them. And below, a small band played in the square under a lamp post, accented by red geraniums in front of an old stone church. It wouldn't have surprised us to see Nelson Eddy and Jeannette MacDonald stick their heads out of a nearby window and burst into song!"

Come back in May - We'll go West this time —if not exactly as the crow flies, at least in good Ninety-Nine company.

So much to tell you too about the Sixty- Fifth. And the 1964 Alumni Fund.
