1936

Saturday, October 29, was a beautiful day. The parking lots around the Yale Bowl were crowded before the game with tailgate picnickers. Cold chicken and ham and cheese were accompanied by wine, beer, and scotch. The October sun provided a last bit of suntan, while the Big Green ran up an impressive win over the Yalies. Norb and pic Hofman cheered a little louder than usual, since their son, Peter '68, was one of the Dartmouth cheerleaders. I spotted several of our classmates - most of them accompanied by their wives who look younger every year. Dick Morton, Jack Smith, Joe Wool, Bill Wyman, Pep Minte, Dick Treadway, John Sawyer, Cliff Porter, Cliff England, Don Robbins, Hesty Hirst, Phil Mc-Innis, Frank Kappler, Tom Parker, Dick Taylor, Ed McGrath, Fred Babcock, Terry Staples, Vin Wentworth, Fred Gonnerman, Morrie Stein, Jim Stephens, Bud Home, Pete Fitzherbert, Dr. Tom Monagan, Don Ballantyne, Dr. Jesse Gait, Gil Balkam, Dr. Bill Sicher, Paul Cleveland, Ross Woodbridge, Fred Warne, Dick Dorrance, John Squires were all present plus others who didn't happen to be seated in the class section. I am sure the gorgeous Indian summer day reminded most of us of previous Yale Dartmouth games played under less favor- able weather conditions.

It is strange that one of the greatest universities in the world can't afford the services of a traffic engineer to quickly move the cars out of the Yale Bowl parking lots after the game. When we finally extricated ourselves from the traffic jam, we headed for Windsor, Conn., and the Tobacco Valley Inn. Gene and Kate Tamburi operate this fine establishment and were hosts to the group. The executive committee held a brief meeting to clear some unfinished business and to approve the preparation of a small pocket-size class directory which will eventually find its way into your hands. Your cooperation will be needed in helping us to update our records. A postage paid card will be enclosed with TITHE. Please complete it and drop it into the mailbox.

The Tamburis spread an excellent buffet dinner and several people were observed returning for seconds, particularly the king crab casserole. George McCJeary was on hand to have a brief visit before emplaning at nearby Bradley Field for his home in Asheville, N.C. George was visiting his mother in Springfield. He is still with Olin Mathieson Chemical in Asheville. John and Peggy Greenwood travelled over from Groton Long Point, Conn., where they are living until their new home is completed at Old Lyme on the Connecticut River. They will be just about opposite Bud Home who lives at Essex on the other shore. Frank and Elsie Weston were there from Ridgewood, N.J. Frank accompanied the impromptu glee club on clarinet. He has found a group of kindred spirits on Madison Avenue, who get together for recreational jazz sessions. Elsie has just finished a year as head of the women's golf committee at the Ridgewood Country Club. Brint and Doris Sehorer were not far from their home in West Hartford and the Rev. Jim and Peggy Lancaster found Tobacco Valley a convenient halfway stop on their way home to South Hadley, Mass. Ross and Nancy Martindale joined the group and didn't mind the extra miles back to Upper Montclair, N.J. Brew Towne had flown in from Tucson, Ariz., for a brief vacation in the east. DickTreadway was accompanied by his attractive daughter, Laurie. It was a wonderful day in every respect and our gratitude is extended to the Tamburis. If you are in the east next year and go to the Yale game, don't forget our after-the-game get-together.

Down under in New Zealand the school year is drawing to a close with the seasons the reverse of ours. This means Sam andJane Morse, and son, Sam will be leaving Canterbury University at Christchurch for the long trip home. They will be enroute for the next few months via Japan, India, Thailand, the Near East and Europe. Little, Brown of Boston has just published a whimsical children's book entitled "All in a Suitcase," written by Sam and illustrated by Barbara Cooney. Sam will return to his teaching post at Northeastern University.

Harry Lowd '66, son of Dr. and Mrs.Harry Lowd of Salem, Mass.. was married in September to Mary Beth Tietze of Chatham, N.J. Harry is continuing his studies in hospital administration at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.Pete Fitzherbert might develop a slight southern accent. He has just been made a member of the board of directors of the Atlanta-based American Agency Life Insurance Company.

John Sullivan, president of Metropolitan Broadcasting Radio, a division of Metromedia, Inc., has added another station to his network - KEWB in the San Francisco-Oakland area. This places Jack in charge of seven leading stations - the FCC limit. Bill Reed, president of Jordan Marsh, Boston, has also added to his department store chain of command by opening a branch in Bedford, N.H.

One last note on the Thirtieth Reunion. The final treasurer's report has been rendered by Cliff England and it showed a handsome profit of $401.61 which is helping to publish the Class Directory. Which reminds me of another treasurer's report. Don't forget to send your Class dues to Jim Stephens.
