That traveling Tenner Sandy Sandberg says "If Andy can get a letter—Mac a card—you sure rate a word of greeting from a young classmate. Trust this finds you well. We're just repeating an Italian vacation and as usual enjoying every day because who knows when you may not be able to tramp around in posh-hush-deluxe European hotels which charge more than our places at home. But you live but once." The card was mailed from Milan.

Herb Woods, a resident of Deep River, Conn., has always had a deep hand in the affairs of its Historical Society. To show their appreciation of his activity over the years the members surprised him when he attended a meeting which happened to occur on his 86th birthday by giving him a birthday party.

Whit Eastman spent some of his time during reunion days taking part in a new feature developed at Thayer School. He spent a day at the Thayer School of Engineering putting on tape in an interview with Prof. Joe Ermenc a brief history of the linseed oil and soybean oil industries in the U.S.A. They are working up a series of such historical tapes of corporations and industries where alumni of Thayer School have had an important part in their growth and development. They hope such information will be of benefit to seniors who are a bit frustrated when they have several job offers and help them to make a decision.

What seems to be the sentiment of nearly all who attended the 60-year reunion is ably put into words by Pineo Jackson. He writes "Now that our 60th Reunion has come and gone and I contemplate the event in retrospect it becomes one of the milestones in life's journey and my associations with Dartmouth College."

Herb Wolfe and his wife, Daisy, went to Wentworth by the Sea in New Hampshire looking forward to the kind of vacation provided at that pleasant spot. Their plans were rudely interrupted by a trip for Herb to the hospital for surgery. Last report from Herb was that he is back on his feet, able to spend a little time in the office.

The Grim Reaper continues to make breaks in our ranks. The two latest losses were the deaths of Eck Heistand and BillyWilliams. Eck, after retirement from the merchandising field, became a congressman from California. He made a reputation criticizing the excesses of labor unions and battling in Congress for more stern treatment and questioning the unfairness of some of the demands. Billy Williams several years ago met with an unfortunate accident and was forced to give up his business career. He became interested in poetry and Tenners have had the pleasure of reading some of his contributions to this column. We shall miss these two strong Tenners.

As this is written in September we are wondering how many Tenners will make the annual Class Dinner this year the night before the Dartmouth-Harvard game. By the time this is read we shall have had the answer.
