On Thursday, November 2, the executive committee met in New York City. Joe Stevenson, Jack Hall, Jim Dawson, Garvey Clarke, Tom Schwarz, Bob Rex, Dave Orr, Dick Riper, Clyde Brownstone, and I were on hand. Following the usual reports on the status of the treasury, alumni fund, reunion, etc., the committee discussed among other items, special projects for our class, regional social activities, and the establishment of a class directory to be published annually. It was decided that executive committee meetings would be held each fall and a plea is given to all members of the class to contact members of the committee if there is something of importance concerning the class you wish to be considered.
A letter arrived recently from Tim Robinson and his wife Joan. Their story follows. About 9 P.M. June 22, the Robinsons received a call from Tim's parents in Glassboro, N. J., and were told that the following day, on Friday, President Lyndon B. Johnson and Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin were going to meet at Holly Bush. Holly Bush Mansion is the home of Tim's parents in Glassboro where his father, Dr. Thomas E. Robinson, is president of Glassboro State College. Tim and Joan immedi- ately packed and left their Wyckoff, N. J.; home, with their two-year-old daughter Kathy, and headed to South Jersey. After being questioned by state police, etc., they were allowed to enter the campus at Glassboro and Holly Bush and eventually retired about 3 A.M. After the mansion was pretty well rearranged, White House cooks moved in with new appliances to prepare the meals for the next few days.
On Friday morning, New Jersey's governor, Richard Hughes, was the first to arrive by helicopter, followed by a second helicopter with President Johnson, Secretary of State Dean Rusk, and Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara. Shortly, Premier Kosygin arrived. The meetings lasted until late Friday afternoon. Finally about 7 P.M. Joan and Tim left for Wyckoff deciding not to stay for Sunday's meeting. Incidentally, Tim had taken the day off to paint his house, and had a tough time convincing his associates at Jersey City State College, where he is registrar, that he knew nothing of the big doings at his father's home. Not many two-year-olds have photographs of President Johnson, Premier Kosygin, and Governor Hughes, in their scrapbooks, but Kathy Robinson does.
