RUPERT GERARD PERKINS died of emphysema on August 26 at the Veterans Hospital at Richmond, Va. To have known Rupe Perkins was an experience that none of his many friends will ever forget, for he was a wide reader, could talk on any subject, and was sound, direct and colorful in his comments.

In his second year at Thayer School he worked with five classmates on the design of a power plant in Queechee Gorge, making the survey in winter on skis.

From William R. Bronner '67 comes the following letter reporting the death of his father, LEONARD BRONNER, of 8 Bering Court, Woodbury, N. Y.

"With deepest sorrow, I write to inform his classmates of the decease of my father, Leonard Bronner Jr. He died August 28, 1968 from a coronary, secondary to intestinal cancer, and was interred on August 30. He was 66. Bill is survived by his widow, Gloria, and two children; myself and my sister Deirdre, presently a sophomore at Mt. St. Vincent College, Riverdale, N. Y. I attend Columbia Law School.

"I wish to recount my father's two last gestures: First, he obtained a promise from me to encourage sons I might have to attend Dartmouth, as we did. Second, while being wheeled to the hospital elevator for his last operation, he tried to scratch his foot. A nurse offered to help, but he declined it, saying he'd scratch his own foot. Then he stated, 'Let it be written that the corpse went out scratching its foot.' Please do."

Len Bronner graduated from Columbia Law School after he left Hanover and served with Governor Tom Dewey in the U.S. Attorney's office until 1931 when he went into private practice.

The practice of law for Len was a sober, demanding and perhaps restrictive thing. He was extremely successful at it but never let it distract him from the lighter, happier side of life. He had many items of light verse published in the old Life, Judge, Sun Dial by F.P.A. and a dozen other media. His more serious work appeared in Good Housekeeping, the Herald Tribune, Life and The New York Times. My secretary's scrapbook has many short poems I wish I could have you read again. The Class will miss his happy optimism and good will.

GORDON BRIDGE, Assistant to the Treasurer of the College from 1939 to 1949, died September 2, 1968 at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital in Hanover, where he had been confined for several weeks after falling and breaking his hip. From this accident developed serious complications which were too much for Gordie to overcome after his long and courageous fight against Parkinson's Disease for more than twenty years.

Before returning to Hanover in February 1939 to serve as assistant to Treasurer Halsey C. Edgerton, Gordie had spent 15 years with business firms in Plattsburgh and Albany, N. Y., first with Western Electric Co., then as assistant treasurer of Independent Paper Mills, 1927-29, and finally as secretary and treasurer of the Eastern Tablet Corp., 1929-39. In Albany he served two terms as president of that city's chapter of the National Association of Cost Accountants.

Although ill health forced his early retirement from full-time work for the College, Gordie kept busy part-time and also served the Hanover community, for which he was town and precinct auditor for three years. He was a Deacon of the Church of Christ from 1947 to 1952 and Senior Deacon in 1952-53. He also was graduate adviser for Chi Phi fraternity for 18 years. A four-sport man in high school, he was one of the most loyal of Dartmouth sports fans and rarely missed a home contest. An item in the 1924 class column in April 1962 noted that he hadn't missed a home basketball game in 23 years.

Gordon Bridge was born in Watertown, N. Y., on March 19, 1902. He entered Dartmouth from Albany Academy and was a member of The Arts and of Chi Phi.

He was married in October 1929 to Mary Osborne Armes of Washington, D. C., sister of Charles H. Armes '34. He is survived by his wife Mary, whose tireless devotion and attention to Gordie in his years of affliction won the admiration of our Class; a son, Kendall G. Bridge '56 of Natick, Mass.; a daughter, Mrs. Sterling C. Klinck ('55) of Cambridge, Mass.; five grandchildren; a sister and two brothers, Donald G. Bridge '39 and Douglas P. Bridge '41. Mary resides at 9 South Park St., Hanover.

A memorial service was held at the Church of Christ, Hanover, on September 6. Memorial gifts were made to the American Parkinson's Disease Association, 147 East 50th St., New York City.

Courageous and cheerful in the face of adversity, Gordie was an inspiration to all of us and will be greatly missed.

JOSEPH ORLANDO CALCAGNI died August 5 at the Mary Fletcher Unit of the Vermont Medical Center at Burlington, to which he had been transferred from the Barre City Hospital following a cerebral hemorrhage three weeks before.

Joe was a native and life-long resident of Barre, where he was born August 30, 1902. He came to Dartmouth following graduation from Culver Military Academy. Pea-green freshmen, we found ourselves assigned to neighboring rooms on the second floor of South Mass.

Under the sometimes stern, more often kindly, tutelage of such friendly upperclassmen on our floor as Ted Geisel and Bob Sharp, both '25, and sophomores Dutch Diehl, Chris Bailey and Dick Sagendorph, we quickly became adapted to the Dartmouth environment, a happy experience we shared with such fellow '27ers as Nat Morey, Joe Hardin, Sid Harris, and others.

Joe was not much of a joiner, and the circle of his friends on campus was probably smaller than that of many others, but those of us who knew him well cherished his quiet sense of humor, his loyalty, his rare flashes of temper which were as quick to vanish as they were to appear. Above all, we admired his sincere devotion to his studies, which did not always come too easy for him.

It was a sad day for us all when Joe had to withdraw from college to take over the family granite business after the death of his father. He became president of the firm, Novelli and Calcagni, and later operated a service station in Barre. He retired some 15 years ago.

Joe married the former Frieda Beck on February 15, 1933. She survives him along with four sons, three daughters, and the fourteen grandchildren which put him in contention for class leadership in this respect.

Joe was a lifetime member of St. Monica's Church in Barre, where he belonged to the Holy Name Society and the Knights of Columbus. He had also held membership in the Vincitia Club, the Barre Lodge of Elks and was a trustee of Barre City Hospital. His funeral was held at his church August 8, with burial in St. Monica's Cemetery.
