He joined the company in 1949 as president of the Foods Division. Prior to that he had been vice president of Standard Brands, Inc.

Honie and Mona Westhaver had dinner in Los Angeles recently with Mylcs Lane, who was there to obtain depositions for a case he is handling for the movie industry. Honie reports a most pleasant evening, "with a lapse of 36 years since college providing a great freedom of exaggeration." He and Mona have spent most of their recent vacations at Kailua, Hawaii, and like it so much that they expect to build a home there some time in the future where they will live part of the year after Home's retirement. It must be an ideal spot because Bill Goudy withdrew from the New York City-White Plains grind recently and moved there.

It is with sorrow that we note the death of Pearl Phelan, Jack's wife, on April 25 after a brief illness. She was well known to many members of the class, having attended all of our reunions. She was vice president of the Dartmouth Women's Club of Boston. Our deepest sympathy goes to Jack and their daughter and son.

At the annual Class Officers' Weekend in Hanover, Mary and I enjoyed being with Craig and Eleanor Haines and Howie andCaroline Bush. (Howie is working day and night on the Alumni Fund and we hope you are giving him your utmost support.) The weather was perfect - students were sunbathing in front of all the dormitories - the Hopkins Center is fabulous and seems more interesting each time we visit it. Mary and I stayed with Herb and Mimi Sensenig on their farm in Norwich; Herb reported that John Cronin had just called from New Jersey and reserved the last room at the Norwich Inn for the Princeton game weekend. Don't miss the reunion and game - motel reservations are still available a little further away from Hanover.

On their recent trip to Florida, Craig and Eleanor looked up Craig's roommate, JimFassett, who has over 100 acres on the out-skirts of Orlando. Jim's wife, Grace, was away for the afternoon so they missed her. Jim has 4000 citrus trees and gets from 15,000 to 30,000. boxes a year. Craig also looked up Mai Seal, head of the English Department at the University of Miami, who has seen the university grow from 2500 students in 1946 to 14,000 this year. Craig also stopped to see Bruce and Thelnia Lewis in Palm Beach but no one was home.
