1928

Our 40th Reunion is just around the corner - mark down the dates now - June 17-19. Reunion chairman Cal Billings says a two-page letter is in the mail to all classmates, with a tentative schedule of events. From the letters and cards we have been receiving it is easy to predict a record attendance at reunion — at least double that at our 35 th.

Rick Rickenbaugh, owner of the Rickenbaugh Cadillac Company of Denver, says he and Hilda are seriously considering reunion. He also makes a typical reply to our request for news: "We all appear to be well. Pursuing usual occupation and interests which are going along without excitement but with satisfaction." C'mon there, Rick, hasn't one of Hilda's collies won a blue ribbon lately?

From Guatemala City Dana Condon, United Fruit Company manager for Central America, writes that he and Verna are making plans to be in Hanover for our 40th. Dana says, "I will probably know fewer of our classmates than most, as I am now in my 40th year of living outside the United States.... That renegade, Johnny Brew, was here a few months ago and Verna and I had him and his lovely wife up to the house for refreshments before going to the American Club for dinner. He says it does not hurt his pride appreciably to have to make his living from the grants of Harvard. I'd crush rocks with my fingers first." Dana spent a month in the Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans last March followed by an operation on his right ankle due to rheumatic arthritis. After six months he has discarded the crutches and is walking 20 blocks every day to get those ankle bones back on speaking terms."

Hank Graupner's son, Bill, is a senior at Lehigh, and daughter, Sally, graduated from Hollins in '66 and hopes to make the Martha Graham modern ballet troupe soon.

Merrill Shurtleff of Berlin, N. H., retired last summer after 23 years as probation officer in Coos County.

Rusty Philbrick of Boston writes, "Still have to work for a living. Am reduced to playing doubles, probably mixed doubles in another year, in tennis." Rusty is a department head for R. H. Stearns Company and has worked for that department store for 37 years.

Carl Lundgren of Ansonia, Conn., says he is down to wheel chair speed because of sclerosis, but works full time in his law practice and its related activities. In September he and Ottilie wound up a Canadian vacation in Hanover on a sunny Saturday - had lunch at Occom Pond, watched football practice and dined at the Inn. Carl says "We still live in Oxford, next door to the Van Ripers and I am honored to report that I am on a mutual first name basis with the three Van Riper-Heep Connecticut grandchildren."

Being on the road to Florida, Dave McCathie sees some Dartmouth men - BraceLewis, Bob Kilgore, George Yaffe '26, and others. Dave is proprietor of the Chefs Table at the Holiday Inn at Emporia, Va.

If you want an interesting place to visit in the Miami area, go to the Theatre of the Sea at Marathon, owned by Bud McKenney. Ask for Bud and if you're interested he'll take you swimming with his friendly and intelligent porpoises - just as he did Fearless Jack Herpel and your secretary.

Tavey Taylor's daughter, Linda, is a stewardess for Eastern Airlines. His other daughter, Roberta (Mrs. W. F. Shaw) teaches art at Windham College and her husband is on the staff of the Experiment in International Living at Putney, Vt.

Ken and Cynthia Cuddeback's daughter, Anna, and Arthur H. Ruggles III '66. were married at the First Congregational Church, Amherst, Mass., September 2. The groom is the son of Art Ruggles '37.

The American Psychological Association gave Bill Hunt its 1967 award for a "Distinguished Contribution to Clinical Psychology." Bill joined the faculty of Loyola University in Chicago last fall, not the one in New Orleans as we stated last month. The change was dictated by the fact that after 15 years of being chairman of the department at Northwestern he wanted to get rid of administration and have more time for his own scholarship and research.
