It occurred to me after spending three afternoons and evenings watching a great NCAA swimming championship meet in Dartmouth's wonderful new pool - surely one of the finest in these United States - that perhaps no more than 25 or 30 of our class have ever seen this great facility made possible by our last capital gifts campaign. Why not - even at this late date - plan to join us in Hanover on June 17, 18 and 19th for an unforgettable 35th and in addition to seeing old friends, take this opportunity to see this new pool, the Leverone field house and Hopkins Center among other fine campus additions? Bill Dewey is waiting to hear from you! A change of address came through on Bill Winn a couple of months ago and you will recall that we speculated that an Arizona address might have indicated retirement. This note from Bill: "In response to your request, permit me to confirm your theory. After some 34 years behind a desk meeting target dates, fighting crises, attending never-ending conferences and living in midwest humidity, we decided it was time to make the big move. So, here we are, enjoying the sun in the vast Southwest establishing our own programs and our own schedules." Bill had been on the headquarters staff of the Defense Electronics Supply Center in Decatur, Ill. We all hope you and Pauline enjoy every minute of your retirement, Bill.

J., in its area work and particularly in its work in Puerto Rico. Ed has three children, Henry, a freshman at the University of Vermont, and Daniel and Martha.

After leaving Dartmouth, Jerry attended Johns Hopkins Medical School where he received his M.D. Ruth and Jerry have four children. Their son graduated from Hillsdale in 1961, married Jo Ann Bishop and has a daughter. Daughter Jo attended the University of Maryland, married Bernard Bodt and they are the parents of two daughters. Geraldine is a 1962 graduate of Clark and Jane graduated from Hiram in 1964 and is married to John Rosenman.

You will remember the letter we received from Arthur Daniels who recalled joining us at our fifth reunion when he was an instructor at Thayer School. We have made him an adopted member of the Class and he writes from Peterborough, N. H„ where he is president of New Hampshire Ball Bearings that the Daniels will drop in to say "hello" on either Monday or Wednesday of reunion. He might even "buy us a beer!
And let's all do our very best for the Alumni Fund.
