Bill and Laura Carter are in Kalamazoo, Mich., again until lune of 1969 and their new address is 315 North Prospect Place, Kalamazoo, Mich. 49007. Mrs. Arthur pierce has moved from Harwich to 35 Squanto Road, No. Weymouth, Mass. 02191.

Thanks to Paul Richter who frequently sends along news items of interest to '20s. The week Pres. Nixon was inaugurated TIME magazine added a special 20 page section to its regular issue. It was prepared by a team of writers headed by Senior Editor, Robert Shnayerson '50, son of Ned and Madalene Shnayerson who must be very proud of his progress.

Paul, having been elected for a three-year term to the Boston Latin School Alumni Council, recently attended a quarterly meeting of the Council, staying over at the Harvard Club in Cambridge. Paul is the only Dartmouthite in that all-Harvard group.

Bob Burroughs '21 has graciously invited the '20-21 Classes to hold their summer picnic at his farm in Canterbury, N. H. Paul, Charlie Crathern, Dal Dalryniple, PhilGross, and Abe Weld '21 are meeting from time to time to work out tentative plans. In fact, the Phil Grosses had Christmas dinner at Abe Weld's place in Bradford, N. H.

Phil must be catching up on his reading having sent clippings; Henry Page, whose family banking connections go back 113 years in Perry, N. Y., retired on December 31 as vice president of the Manufacturers and Traders Co. local office. He completed 48 years with the local bank at the end of last year. The Perry branch has had an unbroken history dating back to 1885 being founded by Rufus Smith whose son later married a great-aunt of Henry Page. From that time on, some member of the Page family has headed that banking institution.

And from the '21 news column of the Cornell Alumni Magazine: "Margaret Arronet Corbin (Mrs. Franklin N. Jr.) recently returned from a trip to Europe."

From Dan Ruggles '21 Smoker I learn that Rayner and Ruth Hutchinson attended the New Year's Party at Frank and Ida Ross's ('21) home in Chatham, Mass., on. the Cape, which seems to be an annual and eventful affair.

Charlie Stevens had a freak accident; while playing shuffle board he stepped back, losing his balance and injuring his arm which kept him hospitalized for two weeks. He is home again and speeding up his recovery in order to pick up reservations for another cruise.

A sad note from Carl Lenz enclosed a clipping of the death of another Classmate, his good friend, Dr. Hal Clark on January 4. Only recently Al Frey had received a note from Hal telling him that he and his son Hal expected to go to Grand Lake Stream and he would check in on Al at his new home. There will be an In Memoriam notice in this or a subsequent issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. Carl and Dorothy Lenz and Ginger and Mary Bruce attended the services representing the Class. The deep sympathy of the Class goes to Hal's wife Catherine, his son, daughter, and sister, and the other surviving members of his family.

I run across Clyde Bidwell often at the Ivy League and Dartmouth Club luncheons and dinners. He is now a permanent resident of sta Key and has taken on a good local color.

Grosvenor Plowman's latest professional position is Pres. Transportation Research Foundation, in Washington, with some consulting and graduate teaching. Also this winter term, he is visiting professor of logistics at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Sounds as if he is commuting by air again.

Nate and Mildred Whiteside will again be at Island Inn on Sanibel Island the last two weeks in March.

In checking records in the Alumni Records office the following '20 classmates have not been heard from for over 30 years: Charles A. Bloch, Dunlap Castle, Tao-HungChang, and Carroll E. Tracey. If anybody has any information on any of these classmates please let us know, otherwise the College has no alternative but to assume that they are no longer living.

It so happens that the letterhead of the Alumni Council lists all the Council members, not alphabetically but by year of graduation, and after the president, vice president and secretary I notice Kel Smith (A. Kelvin) heads the list. Jim Bonnyman '38, a Council member and secretary of the Sarasota Dartmouth Club, has been in communication with Michael McGean '49 about the possibility of having an Alumni Seminar for the State of Florida. Jim is working with Bob Hardy and Lou Kimball both '25 on tentative plans for March 28, 29 and 30 at some small college in the central part of Florida. To make the seminar possible there must be an enrollment of 50 people, so anybody planning to be in the area at that time and interested to attend the seminar can contact James Bonnyman, 1357 Harbor Drive, Sarasota Drive, Sarasota, Fla. Tuition for the two-day meeting, including room and board, cannot be definitely set, but preliminary research indicates that it will be in the neighborhood of $40-50 single and $50-60 double.

We stopped in to see Sig and Betty Sigler at St. Petersburg Beach and Hitch andDorothy Hitchcock at Madeira Beach who went along with us to one of Florida's spectacular eating places.

The Dick Litchfields '22, well known to many of the '20 Class, were near us in Florida for a couple weeks en route to Arizona. They were amazed to find so many Dartmouth people in Florida and especially so many '20s. 1 took Dick to St. Pete to one of the Dartmouth Club luncheons of that area and it was good to see so many '20s that he knew, Bing Whitaker, Carrol (Pick) Hill, Gugger Fiske, Laddie Myers, Buttons Hill (who is staying at Indian Rocks Beach), and yours truly, making six; and had we been able to reach Sig and Hitch in time there would have been eight.

Dick Hayes of Los Angeles doesn't give much news of himself except that he doesn't get out very much now. And DonTeel of Lansing, Mich., can't travel but sends his best wishes to all '20s. Just hearing from them is good.

Jim and Grace Parkes have sold their home in Rumson, N. J., buying a smaller ranch home for easier living. Jim is still in the fuel business and confesses business is good. Their son, J. C. Parkes '57, an orthopedic surgeon, has finished his two-year term of duty in the Navy and he is now practicing in New York doing his surgery at the Roosevelt Hospital. Their daughter, Jessie (Mrs. C. V. R. Halsey Jr.) has four daughters and lives in Pelham, Mass. Her husband has just been appointed Dean of Admissions at Hampshire College in South Hadley, Mass., a new college being sponsored by Smith, Amherst, Mt. Holyoke, and the Univ. of Mass.

Another still active and in the textile business is Edwin M. Stern of Chappaqua, N. Y. A short message from Larry Clarkson of Los Angeles deserves a quote: "Time Marches on. I'm still marching and enjoying the parade."

Bob Farwell of Pawtucket, R. I. is still 0.K., golf three times a week and his time is fully occupied. Forby Forbush of Pasadena is still working six months of the year and fighting high local and state taxes.

Our telephone book gives a wrong number for us. Our number is 383-2575 and we'd be happy to hear from any of you when in this area.
