1928

The annual '28 fall reunion will be held as usual at the Norwich Inn, from Oct. 10-12, the weekend of the Penn game. See you there.

We are indebted to many friends for their letters and cards during the summer - lack of space may force us to use some of the news next month.

Cal Billings sent us an excellent picture of the '28 group which gathered May 17 for the ceremonies at Eleazar Wheelock's Indian School at Columbia, Conn., commemorating Dartmouth's simple and meaningful origin 200 years ago. Present were GeorgeEmery and daughter Lisa, Lew and NitaBeers, Cal and Genie Billings, Bun andAlma Goodrich, and Rufe and Ruth Munsell.

Kewp Munson became chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the Wilmington Trust Co. on June 30. Kewp joined the bank in 1949 and was elected president in 1966.

The Maine Touring Theatre Foundation recently named Fred Burleigh to the Board of Directors. Fred, who for 25 years directed the famed Pittsburgh Playhouse, now lives in Wiscasset, Me., and is co-owner of Coach House Antiques.

Horace Moulton has been elected a director of New England Telephone Company. He joined NET in 1944 after practicing law in Boston following his graduation from Harvard Law School. In 1951 he became a member of the legal department of the parent company, AT&T, and in 1955 was elected to his present position of vice president and general counsel. Active in business and legal affairs, he is also a director of the Communications Satellite Corporation, the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Company, and the National Legal Aid and Defender Association. He and Gretta live on Staten Island, New York.

Our birthday card to Honie Westhaver was forwarded from Hawaii to his San Mateo, Calif., apartment and then to Worcester, Mass., where he and Mona were visiting her mother. Honie had little luck in contacting the classmates he phoned - they were on vacation. They did get together with Dick and Topsy Canton at their home in Worcester where he says "Dick and I told old lies to each other' which seem to reach greater stature with the years. It was a most pleasant reunion." Honie retired in 1964 as vice president of a U.S. Steel subsidiary and planned to divide his time between California and the home they built in Kailua-Kona. Now they expect to spend nine months in Hawaii - a real tough grind!

Jack Kenerson's son, Robert, completed his residency at Mass. Mental Health Hospital and is on the Harvard staff at Stillman House as a psychiatrist. He has bought Jack's father's house in Winchester. Their second child, a boy, arrived Aug. 16 so now Jack has six grandchildren.

President Nixon has appointed former Governor Lane Dwinell to serve as assistant administrator of the Agency for International Development. While based in Washington, Lane will be visiting many countries around the world. The program is concerned with aid in 39 undeveloped countries. The newspaper clipping says the job carries an annual salary of $38,000.

Phil Orsi has retired from his position as a vice president of the First National City Bank of New York, after 30 years with the bank.

Nick Carter says recent class notes give him the impression that everyone has retired except him. Far from it, Nick, we can count only 61 who acknowledge any kind of retirement status — which is only 13% of our 473 active members. Nick and Clodagh spent several weeks in the Windward Islands this summer, sailing, fishing, and sunning. Nick is a vice president of the Irving Trust Co., 1 Wall St., New York. His son, Tom, who joined the Peace Corps and left for India immediately after graduation from Dartmouth in 1963, is still there, currently as associate director of the Peace Corps for the southern third of the country. Their daughter, Jane, graduated from Bennington College this summer.

Other island-hoppers this summer were Jerry and Doris Goodwin of Oakdale, Conn., who took a 32-day trip through the Caribbean and Venezuela.

Jean Hazzard, daughter of Charlie and Blim, and Lt. John Allen, USMC, were married June 7 at the Jaffrey Center, N. H., home of the Hazzards. Jean had completed her junior year at Goucher.

Roy Myers has bought a house in Quogue, L. I., and is busy as ever between his duties as a full professor of Modern Languages at Southampton College of Long Island University, and his lecturing on a limited basis in the Eastern states.

Roy reports that Bill Harris had a slight heart attack in Leningrad and is spending a month - until Sept. 15 - in a hospital in Copenhagen.

Several other '28ers traveled in various parts of Europe this summer - and made it home without misfortune. Red Jenkins left right after the Alumni College in Hanover — the Navy invited him to go to Europe for two weeks with his old squadron. . . . Ireland attracted Dick Sullivan and Myles and Margaret Lane for their vacations... Myles went fishing three times in a little boat with a guide and caught close to 300 mackerel; Margaret took 400 pictures of flowers with a close-range lens. Dick Sullivan says he had a heart attack last October but made a fine recovery.

Vic and Mary Hartjens went to Naples by ship, then drove to Como, Switzerland, and Cologne, where son Peter is writing his doctorate, then on to Norway and back to Cologne for the marriage of Peter and Miss Elisabeth Mayser on June 4.

Roger and Alma Sundeen spent five weeks in the Scandinavian countries. ... HaroldFields is arriving home Sept. 18 after working on his book for two months in London. ... George Emery and Liza spent two weeks in Italy, then visited Yugoslavia, Austria, Germany, Luxembourg, and home.

Since our June notes, three beloved classmates have passed on: Had Cantril, JohnnyNeary, and George Slawson. Johnny had a special claim on our affections as co-editor of the '28 Campaigner. In Memoriam notices will appear in next month's issue.
