1928

Hello again. I don't know where the summer has gone, but here I am about to load our son Doug and all his gear in the station wagon and drive him to Hanover to matriculate, just as you and I did 41 years ago. The big difference is that this time it will be Doug who is nervous and apprehensive about all the adjustments to a new way of life.

Yesterday Jack Cook called from Chicago (it's nice to work for the telephone company) and made a date for dinner in Hanover September 11. Seems he, too, felt a compelling urge to drive to Hanover and look around while his son, Gregory, gets settled in Middle Mass. We will be looking around for Ted Baehr and Willis Mitchell whose sons are also in the Class of 1969. Sunday morning the boys will take off on a four-day hike sponsored by the D.O.C.

It is always wonderful to sit down to write the October issue's notes because the summer brings a lot of news. But the accumulation will be used up this month and next, and shared with Jack Herpel and Johnny Neary for their class newsletters, so please write us soon.

Our celebrated annual Fall Reunion is just around the corner — October 8, 9 and 10. We'll be looking for you at the Norwich Inn Friday night and Saturday after the game!

Johnny Nixon, vice president of the Board of Aldermen of the City of Newton, Mass. (population 90,000), has just filed for another two-year term.

They met Red and Chili Edgar in Milan, where they were visiting their married daughter.

The Nixons spent a few days last week with Jack and Fran Kenerson at their home in Wolfeboro and report that Jack is a very good golfer. Speaking of golf, we have it on reliable authority that that "young" father, D. K. Norris, got a hole-in-one this summer and that the golf virus has hit SkipDrayton — he can regale you for hours with "almost."

The Edgars celebrated their 35th anniversary August 30 with a party at their house in Winchester, Mass., with the best man, Johnny Nixon, and many others present. Red's son, Bill '62, is out of the service and selling Xerox products.
