It is with deep regret that we report the death of our classmate, Harry L. MacCreadyJr. who passed on unexpectedly at his home in Dighton, Mass., on Monday, September 1. We have expressed the sympathy of the entire Class to Harry's family. Further details may be found in the obituary section of this or a subsequent issue.
Our faithful Hanover correspondent, BobKaiser, sent us a flyer on a recent opening of a new play "Angela," at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston on October 13, with the New York debut on October 29. You might have guessed that Michael Ellis is a co-producer along with Martin Productions Inc. The play stars Geraldine Page (always one of our favorites) but at this writing we do not have the benefit of the critics' reactions in the Big City.
And talking about hits, we can report that the 1969-1970 season of the New Haven Branch, American Association of University Women began on Sept. 24 with a speech entitled, "U.S. Foreign Policy in Latin America." The speaker, Dr. Armando Chardiet, professor of modern languages and coordinator of the Latin American Program at Southern Connecticut State College.
Bill Green was nominated in mid-September for membership to the State Board of Education by Dartmouth's New Hampshire Governor, Walter Peterson. Bill is a former deputy attorney general of the State, and is a member of the Manchester law firm of Sheehan, Phinney, Bass and Green.
Ken Mac Donald, whose name has not often graced these pages, has recently been in the middle of things with the old alma mater. Ken was in Hanover representing several students who appeared before the college Committee on Standing and Conduct to face disciplinary action. Ken normally is found in Seattle, Wash., where he practices his legal profession. The headline we saw, over a national news service story said, "Alumnus Accuses Dartmouth of Fraud in Handling Protest." This is all part of the anti-ROTC demonstration of last May.
Seen through powerful binoculars from across the field at Harvard, were Endy andGeorgette Smith. But perhaps we'd better explain ourself. We were the guest of our brother-in-law, an incurable John Harvard (with a Dartmouth son) and hence, were tucked high up on the Crimson side of the field. We did our best to locate the good guys with the use of the powerful optics but it didn't work out.
This is a feast-or-famine job we have, for last month, college authorities had to turn back some of our notes for lack of space. This month, we seem to have plenty. In an effort to make things come out a bit more even, we shall, therefore, resubmit some address changes that almost made last month's issue.
And now for a few address changes to keep all hands up to date: Dave Dutcher, 3465 South Moorings Way, Coconut Grove, Miami, Fla. 33133; Bob Bryant, home from the U.S. embassy in Santo Domingo, to 311 Prince St., Alexandria, Va. 22314; Herb Flack from New Jersey to 4117 Hood Ave., Titusville, Fla. 32780; John Gauntlett from Ithaca, N. Y., to 4316 Mangrove Point Rd., Sarasota, Fla. 33581; Col. Robert M. Hall from Ft. Monroe, Va., to Qtrs. 18, Fort Shafter, APO, San Francisco, Calif. 96558 where he is Deputy Chief Surgeon; Phil Sauer from Rockford, Ill., to 11503 Lipsey Rd., Tampa, Fla. 33618; and Pan Am Capt. Larry (Dilkes) Vulte from Pebble Beach, Calif., to 17 Little Point St., Essex, Conn. 06426.
There is also a change for Orval C. Hatch, Music Director, Yuma County School District 27, Box 515, Parker, Ariz. 85344.
It's hard to believe, but it's time to wish all you guys and your gals the Merriest of Christmases and the Happiest of 1970'5. Be back next year.
