1970 promises to be a vintage year for reunions, especially for a 1930 40th reunion, and for many reasons. Not the least of these is that if you wait until our 50th, you may not be as spry as you are at plus or minus a year or two from 61. Maybe you won't be quite as eager to engage in a three-day affair that will enable you to renew old friendships, actually make new ones, participate in frivolity which won't vary much from the five-year reunion variety, and join in serious discussions of the College, the veneration gap and the contribution we can continue to make as alumni. For these reasons, it is important that you plan to be in Hanover from June 15 to 17, 1970. Because each of us is influenced in our decision to attend by the knowledge that someone we want especially to see will be there, we urge that you drop a line to Ed Brazil, our reunion chairman, to report that you intend to attend. His address is 630 Elm Street, Laconia, N. H.
The first report of 1969 football comes from Fred Scribner who attended the New Hampshire game and discovered that 1930 was represented by the Perkinses, Brazils, McFarlands, Bowlens, Boomas, Stearnses, Dick Barnard, Les Godwin, and George Lord. He also had a chance to visit with Jane and John Sanders. John is recovering nicely from a back operation.
Martha and Art Browning are having a busy season. In September Sandra was married to Gerald Edwin Finck. She is a graduate of Rollins College and her husband attends New York Institute of Technology. Younger son Simms '62 was married to Robin French Rhodes of Jacksonville in October. She is a graduate of Salem College and is director of admissions at the Institute of Merchandising in New York. Simms is a securities analyst with Montgomery, Scott. Ed Hazen is now living in North Hero, Vt. A year ago he was identified as a teacher at Keene High School. Fred Tobey on the other hand is a newcomer to the teaching profession at Judson School in Scottsdale, Ariz., after living in New Hampshire for many years. A reverse migration has been followed by Ed Conklin who has recently moved from Phoenix to West Hartford.
How good can you get? Fred Scribner is president of the Class Presidents' Association; Bud French vice president of the Class Agents' Association, and Jack Rich on the executive committee of the Bequest Chairmen's Association. Nelson Rockefeller received a second honorary degree from Dartmouth in June, and is only the second recipient in Dartmouth history to be doubly honored. Fran Horn received an honorary degree from the University of Rhode Island in October and was hailed for his unremitting efforts in advancing marine science in this country. A newly constructed marine science laboratory at URI has been named in his honor. Fran and Billie have recently returned to Bleeker Street from a European trip, and Washington Mews neighbor WinStone is just back from three weeks in Pakistan.
Martha and George Parkhurst expect to be at our 40th. Their son John is a senior at Dartmouth and daughter Emily a sophomore at Smith. George is an attorney in Baltimore. Bill Stearns has been named chairman of the board of the Bank of New Hampshire, National Association. This represents a merger of three banks, the Manchester National, Second National of Nashua and Mechanics National of Concord. JereAnnis is the managing partner of the Watson Clinic, a group of 45 doctors in Lakeland, Fla. Bob Marr of Chilcote's Arizona Green Valley reports that he met WalterNaas at a recent Dartmouth luncheon. Walter was en route from Minnesota to California. Art O'Brien describes himself as semiretired, living in Delray, Fla.
Fred Moller retired in 1965, bought 120 acres in Mendon, Vt. (near Pico Peak), and after that "designed and contracted for our new home to be built, bought a D-4 Caterpillar bulldozer, Ford backhoe and GMC dump truck and have been having a ball in my king-sized sandpile. Myrtle and I have gotten involved in the local community church, the fish and game club, the Rutland Square Dancing Club and I'm chairman of the Mendon Town Planning Commission and Mendon Cemetery Commissioner. We are heading for Alaska in May and probably won't return home until October. You see, we have a schedule in Ketchikan, Alaska, early in June for the run of King Salmon. Then we'll run up the Inland Waterway to Haines, swing up through Alaska and return via the Alaska Highway to Wyoming in September, meet a couple from Mendon in Wyoming at his brother's ranch, hunt elk for a bit and return with the motor home sometime in the fall. I tell you, this retirement is tough!"
