1928
We're approaching our 40th reunion - write down the dates - June 17-19 — and plan to be there. Cal Billings, reunion chairman, is making wonderful plans, and the class executive committee is meeting at the Norwich Inn the day before the Penn game to assist him.
Summertime correspondence is piled high and I want to thank each of you who wrote.
Jack Herpel has scooped me by running the big news of the summer — the election of Rupe Thompson of Providence, as a life trustee of Dartmouth College by the Board of Trustees. He is chairman of the board of Textron, Inc., and was chairman of the Alumni Fund Campaigns for 1965 and 1966.
Bill Hunt joined the psychology department of Loyola University in New Orleans, September 1. He has been on the faculty of Northwestern University 21 years, and chairman of the department of psychology since 1951. Gene Katz is a regent of Loyola University.
Hal Moody retired August 12 after eight years as superintendent of schools in Dartmouth, Mass.
Joe Chay writes from Taiwan that he has a grandson by his older daughter, whose husband is an assistant professor at Los Angeles State College.

His son spent the summer getting Army Reserve Officer Training and is attending a business college.
Hank and Helen Graupner sent greetings from Leningrad Jerry Goodwin, Connecticut educator, sent a card from Honolulu . ... Our only card from Expo '67 was from Phil and Helen Orsi, who spent a week there, and saw El Drake in one of the restaurants.
Jerry Warner arrived in San Francisco July 31 on the "S.S. President Cleveland" from Okinawa, where he was civil administrator. At his farewell party his staff put on a "This Is Your Life" skit, to which I contributed a tape — of questionable veracity - on his college days. Jerry and Rella saw their daughter, Debby, graduate from the U. of Cal. at Santa Barbara on August 4. Another daughter, Anne, got her M.A. in Music at Stanford recently.
Craw and Ethie Pollock have settled at 2520 N.E. 31 Court, Lighthouse Point, Fla. ... Milt and Peg Hoefle spent July at Skytop in the Poconos, their usual summer vacation spot. ... Walt and Ethel Simpson vacationed in their new, future retirement house on Popple Bottom Road in South Sandwich, Mass. In June, Tim Paige, newly retired from the construction business, moved from Longmeadow, Mass., to North Falmouth, Mass The Al Fusonies of Pompano Beach, Fla., spent the summer in Freeport, Me., and the Wally Carrs moved from Ridgewood, N. J., to Amagansett, Long Island.
Mac Murray College in Jacksonville, Ill., bestowed an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree on John Turkevich. Since John is a noted chemist, how come the divinity degree? Well, we will have to ask John about that, but it may be tied in with the fact that he is the chaplain at Princeton for Russian Orthodox students.
Herb Russell says, "After my little spell last Christmas, I have given up smoking and slowed up on everything else. Had a nice trip to Greece in June."
Sink Sinclair's sister, Katharine Minor, says Sink has been in Europe again all this summer.
Dusty and Natalie Griffin spent the summer at Ludington, Mich., particularly enjoyed sailing their Lightning. Last spring they went via Yucatan to Guatemala to visit their son, Ralph '65, who is in the Embassy there. Dusty retired a year ago as an officer of the Hunter Packing Company in East St. Louis. Water fowling and bassetting (he is co-master of a club pack) take up his fall.
