1930
Because this cannot be a partisan column, we will merely send best wishes to all classmates who are engaged directly or supportively in the surprising political activities of 1968.
The most recent 1930 regional meeting was held at Tobacco Valley Inn north of Hartford in early May. More than seventy classmates and wives attended one or more of the weekend events. From the executive committee meetings came some forward planning for further meetings prior to our 1970 reunion which will be held in Hanover from Monday to Wednesday June 15-17. Roly and Dot Booma have invited us to be their guests for a picnic at their home in Swampscott, Mass., sometime in late July or early August. More specific information will be coming your way shortly via the class news letter or direct mail. This ought to be a delightful affair combining ocean, golf, and Booma hospitality. Woodstock Inn will be the site of the Princeton game informal reunion on October 11 and 12 and our winter meeting, classified as a Philadelphia regional meeting, will be held at Cherry Hill near Camden approximately December 6.
An invitation from Ned Grant to join him in skiing at Aspen next winter was reported. He owns a condominium and offers to house classmates who are looking for a few days of skiing. Ned's address is Box 147, Littleton, Colo. Bob Bottome has also issued an invitation to visit Caracas in early February 1969 for three or four days, and has offered to provide local transportation so that "we would have a chance to around the country a little bit and see some of the things that are really worth seeing outside Caracas." Fred Scribner will proceed to investigate air travel to Venezuela, the possibility of enlarging the project to include members of 1929, and the desires of classmates as to optional side trips either in the area or en route. Among those attending, were a dozen who expressed interest in this sort of winter holiday.
Rena and Bob Kerr joined us from Rochester where he is a vice president of Pfaudler-Permutit. Nancy and Randy Snow drove up from Madison, N.J. She is editor of a weekly newspaper in Glen Ridge and he of the "East Orange Record." And from the local area, we were joined by Sylvia andHank Birge and Sylvia and Lou Goldschmidt. Milt Mclnnes will enlarge on the activities of the Hartford weekend in his next issue of the Thirtyteer. His son Don will be home from Vietnam in July.
Bill Milne was married in March to Catherine Bevans and they will be at home at 1210 Marsh Road in Wilmington. Bill reports "My field is now education and I have been teaching science on a substitute basis. In September I will teach full time as there is a shortage of teachers and I have had offers from several school districts." He and Catherine recently visited with Graceand Milt Schultz in Sinking Spring, Pa. BobKimball, after a lifetime of independent school administration, will teach science at Rocky Hill School in East Greenwich, R. I.
Bill Truex has been elected secretary of the New Hampshire Insurance Company. Scott Van Derbeck is recovering from an operation for a detached retina and was unable to attend the Hartford meeting. And Hugh Johnson reported in from Cottage 73 at Sea Island, explaining his absence. Harold Kaplan, professor of physiology at Southern Illinois University, is presidentelect of the Illinois State Academy of Science. Bob McClory attended the spring meeting of the Interparliamentary Union in Senegal. Ed Conklin, who has done much to sustain 1930 interest in the Washington area, is moving to Phoenix to serve as vice president and investment officer of United Arizona Bank. Carrying on in the next effort of that very active regional group will be the Edwin Weiasteins who will host a cocktail party and dinner at their home at 7101 Pyle Road, Bethesda. Fred Jasperson suggests that visiting classmates will be very welcome.
Alex McFarland and Vic Borella were recipients of 1930 Class Awards at the Hartford meeting while Charlie Rauch and Meade Alcorn were applauded for their planning for housing, entertainment and feeding, which included the finest luncheon ever at the Alcorns' home in Suffield.
We have learned of the deaths of AllanB. Smith in 1967, and of Clarence B. Benson and E. Linwood Savage in April. Our sympathy is extended to their families.
Wade Safford has returned to the active ministry at the Church of the Epiphany in Washington where his address is London Hall, 1133 13th St., N.W. Our best wishes are extended to him in this new assignment.
Class officers will be meeting in Hanover in May and Alan will be graduating in June, two excellent excuses for making that sentimental journey.
