1933

The dry summer has apparently had its effect on Vermont's and New Hampshire's trees because the great brilliance of the foliage that we had come to expect after having seen it on October vacations in the White Mountains just isn't going to be this year. But never mind, it is still pretty and there is an occasional gorgeous sugar maple.

Jack and Laura Masten brought their son, Johnny, to Hanover to enter his freshman year and we had the pleasure of sitting with them at the Bucknell scrimmage game. At the New Hampshire game we were grandstand neighbors of the Hal Mackeys and their darling granddaughter. Also chatted a minute with Don and Muggs D'Arcy and could only wave to Fuller Ripley who was a section away talking with the Drownes. George is expecting between 40 and 50 members of the '33 family at the Norwich Inn after the Penn game. This will be history by the time these notes are published but either Bob Fox or I will report later.

A Minnesotan who heads an organization credited with having solved much of Minneapolis' parking problems addressed the San Antonio, Texas, Downtown Association. He was Lyman Wakefield. Lym's main occupation is as vice president of the Metropolitan Business Development Department of the First National Bank of Minneapolis. But among his other activities, he has become a metropolitan parking problems expert as president of the Downtown Auto Park, a privately financed, profit-making corporation formed 10 years ago to provide close-in parking for Minneapolis. This idea was promoted by the Chamber of Commerce's traffic committee of which Lyman was a member. He is past president of the Chamber and also of the Minneapolis Downtown Council. He served on the committee which developed and built Minneapolis' Metropolitan Stadium and has been chairman of the finance committee which raised funds to complete a $13 million municipal auditorium improvement program. For 10 years he has also been a director of Northwest Airlines and Gould-National Batteries, Inc. A distinguished career of public service for the first president of the Class of '33!
