1948

The last month has been rather hectic and I must say I am glad it is over. One enjoyable day, however, was spent in Hanover the Friday of winter carnival weekend. We were on our way to Stowe with the two older children and instead of snow, which has been rare this winter, we ran into a rainstorm. Visiting in Hanover and seeing the ice sculpture around town was much preferable to skiing in a pouring rain. It turned cold and icy the next day and although we did get a couple of days skiing, we came back earlier than intended because I managed to tear some ligaments in my knee. Luckily after a few weeks' rest I am back in good shape again and, although I missed skiing the rest of the year, there wasn't really much to miss with the total lack of snow in the New England area.

The only classmate I saw on the trip was John Lanzetta who was spending a couple of days at Stowe, but also found the icy conditions very disappointing. John mentioned he had seen Walt Cairns not long ago.

I was quite surprised to hear that SamWilkinson, who had practiced law in Boston for over ten years, left the legal profession to become Trust Officer at the Canal National Bank in Portland, Me. He, Jean and the three children are living in Wildwood Park in Cumberland Foreside.

Just a couple of days ago Bache & Co., the large brokerage firm, announced that Jack Jansing had been appointed a vice president. Jack had been doing a terrific job as manager of the mutual fund department for the firm. He, Shelley and their sons live in Locust Valley, Long Island.

Phil Shepard is a Commander in the Navy stationed at Guantanamo in Cuba. Brownie and their three children live on the base, but the whole family is looking forward to stateside duty this summer.

Three years ago I believe I reported that Homer Young was running for the school board in Amesbury, Mass. Word has it that Homer, who is an architect in Haverhill, is making another attempt and we hope this time successfully. He and Sue have four sons, so I am sure if elected Red will continually press for quality education.

After working for another company in the glass industry Pete Norton has joined Thatcher Glass in New York City as a salesman. He and Myrna live on the Jerse shore in Elberon. Last I heard they had six children, but maybe I'm one behind.

Keith McLoud is still a doctor out in San Diego and recently moved into a new apartment. Last I heard Keith was still a bachelor. If Keith has at last taken the big step, I'd sure like to know-the details.

Although Dartmouth had occasion to cheer its basketball team recently, ErnieMarshall has the opportunity to cheer his team in Ann Arbor a little more often. Ernie recently moved to another house in the college town. He is Professor of Geology at the University of Michigan.

Once again Mel Cheesman has come East to study from his native Washington. Mel is now at Ohio State in Columbus.

Ray and Rhea Rackley are now living across the river from Washington, D. C., in suburban McLean, Va. Ray is a linguistics expert and is with the Department of Edu- cation.

For many years Don Funk was in the wholesale grocery business in Gridley, Calif. Don decided he preferred selling securities to groceries, and is now with First Califor- nia Co. in his home town.

Even though the Alumni Fund is in its early stages at this point, send in your money now rather than at the last minute, because it certainly would save your class agent a lot of extra effort knowing he has your contribution in the bag; and remember, '64 was a pretty good year for most of us, so give a little -more than last year.
