1930

It looks as though our spring executive meeting and class hoorah will be held in Hartford on the weekend of April 27. Charlie Rauch and Meade Alcorn are planning this event around the Dartmouth-Yale rugby game for the Hartford Cup, and Alan Raymond, president of the Dartmouth Rugby Club, advises me that the game this year is scheduled for Sunday, April 28. More on this from our hosts in the near future.

Also in your future may be a chance to join with a group of classmates for a Caribbean cruise in January or February of 1969. Earl Seldon is doing the dreaming on this one which may include a rendezvous withBob Bottome in Caracas. Earl runs the Preferred Travel Service of St. Paul so he knows what he is talking about when he suggests that stops may be made at other interesting places such an San Juan, St. Thomas, Jamaica, and Nassau, and that accommodations will be ultra-modern and air conditioned. All this in the planning stage and subject to freedom to travel in the Western Hemisphere. Drop Earl a line at 222 Pioneer Building, St. Paul, if you have even a shred of interest.

Bill, son of Kirt Meyer, and a 1956 graduate of Allegheny College, is acting director of the Dartmouth News Service. Fred Scribner 59 has been admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court bar and is serving as Massachusetts assistant attorney general. Charlie Rauch reports that Dick Butterfield is architect for a new building at Quinnipiac College in New Haven and that Harry Condon recently stood him up at a planned breakfast meeting at the Union Club in Boston. Al Marsters has not been forgotten and was featured in a recent Boston newspaper sports column as blessed with "timing, poise, and balance." Al retired as vice president of Bausch and Lomb Company last July; cooking abilities excellent, golf handicap down to 11.

From Frances and Mac Horwitt come New Year's greetings and plans for a new career.

"Thirty years ago, we (Frances, Mac and one-year-old Dolly) left the comforts of Yale and made a pioneering trek across the midwestern wilderness in our covered wagon (it really was an old Reo roadster) to Elgin. Now we are leaving.

"We could very easily have decided to remain in Elgin for the remainder of Mac's active career, but it seemed wiser to leave before it was necessary and to take on an adventure or two before we become too old or too secure to desire any new successes. The direction of the L. B. Mendel Research Laboratory will pass on to younger hands.

"In January 1968, Mac begins his duties as Professor of Biochemistry at the St. Louis University School of Medicine and his first assignment will be in Chiengmai, Thailand for about 18 months to assist in the development of a nutritional research program. We leave Elgin for Asia about January 20 and plan to stop at Taiwan, Manila, Bangkok, and other places where we may learn what our peers in nutrition are doing.

"We hope that the travelers among our friends will visit us in Chiengmai where they can be assured of a very warm welcome. We shall miss the arrival of grandchild No. 4 (Mary & Sam), due in the spring. Mary and Sam are now residing in Montgomery, Ala., where Sam is doing his military service after completing his internship last June. Dolly, Don and our three grandchildren are still in Englewood, N. J., and Don continues his academic career in cardiovascular medicine at Columbia."

We'll be watching the 1968 campaign with interest.
