1953

We went to the Yale-Dartmouth hockey game in New Haven last month with EdBoyle. Dartmouth lost an exciting game climaxed by a giant brawl with all twelve players throwing punches in the middle of the rink. Ed told me that he is finishing his tour at Fairfield Prep and expects to be back at a Seminary by this coming fall. He has roughly three years to go before he is ordained as a Jesuit priest.

Ed is once again very active in sports, this time on the coaching end. He recently completed his first season as coach of Fairfield's cross country team. Evidently it was a highly successful season. Although their win and loss record was no wins and eleven losses, Ed says a great deal of character was built. He firmly denies that the record has anything to do with the fact that he will be transferred just before next fall's season begins.

I saw Gib Murphy at the hockey game and he said that "nothing was new" except for his new job and recent marriage. The unofficial mayor of New Haven, Marty DeGennaro was not at the game. He and Sally were too busy being the proud parents of their new son, Samuel Perkins, born December 5.

It takes news a little longer to arrive from Iran, but Bob and Anne Simpson had their third child, and first daughter, Laura Anne, last November. Bob is working for Chas. Phizer in Teheran where he says the job is a real challenge. Golf is even a greater challenge there since the course he plays on is all dirt.

A news clipping from the Springfield News reports that Don Hanson gave a lecture on "Mendes Excavations in the Nile Delta, 1964-65." The talk was given at Smith College and sponsored by the Western Massachusetts Chapter of the Archaeological Institute of America. Don is an assistant professor of fine arts at New York University. His lecture concerned N.Y.U.'s recent excavations at Mendes, Egypt where Don was field director. John Dickason was the subject of an article in the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin. As previously reported he is business manager of the Illinois State Bat Association.

If this column seems short it's for a good reason. News is getting tougher and tougher to find. If you've heard of any about classmates, you could sure help by passing it along.
