While numbers don't make a reunion successful, they help, and presently EdBrazil is forecasting attendance at our June 15-18 Fortieth at over 400. Mac andFrances Horwitt will be there. Mac has returned to a professorship in the Department of Biochemistry at St. Louis University School of Medicine "after an exciting and memorable year and a half helping to organize a Chiang Mai-St. Louis research center for studies in malnutrition in Thailand. Now we are cliff dwellers in one of these new high rise apartment houses." Married daughters Dolly and Mary and grandchildren live in Evanston and Wilmette.

Nelson Rockefeller served as honorary chairman of a New York art exhibition to benefit the College's Hopkins Center Art Galleries. Nelson is scheduled to join us in June. Wade Safford reports that his present assignment as manager of the Men's Home in Alexandria, Va., is the most challenging and meaningful in his ministerial career.

Dick and Gwen Bowlen have enjoyed a winter vacation in Mexico City and Taxco. Fred Bowes has been elected to the international banking associate board of directors of the State National Bank at Stamford. He is manager of Pitney-Bowes international division.

We have learned of the deaths in February of classmates J. Kenneth Wheelan and Merrill E. Bush and our sympathy is extended to their families.

We're still hoping that Ed and BerniceHolmes will change their plans so that they can join us in June. "Being one of the 'silent majority,' there isn't really much to write about. Just got back to my office from a Florida West Coast Dartmouth luncheon which we hold monthly here in St. Petersburg. I retired as a captain from the Navy September 24, 1968 and am now on a pension basis. We sold our house last February and are now in an apartment at 275-116th Avenue, St. Petersburg, Fla. However, we have just purchased a lot in Indian Rocks Beach and will start building a new home soon. Should be our 'last stand.'

"Incidentally, with the construction going on and other changes coming up, we have decided not to attempt making reunion next June.

Had a real nice visit with Bill Doran last month. He looks very well and still has a lot of hair. As to our physiques, we both seem to have developed muscles in the wrong places!"

At the Boston Alumni dinner in February, the class was well represented by Harry Condon, Dick Barnard, Stan Davis, Jack and Edith Fitzpatrick, Les and Edith Godwin, Pete and Marcia Lillard, Alex McFarland, Jack and Dorothy Rich, John and Nat Whipple, Dick and Gladys Parker and daughter Betty, Don and Betty Hight, Gene Magenau, Charlie Raymond, Joe and Margaret Hancort, Dave and Harriet Latham, Hal and Dorothy Booma, Rollie and Dorothy Booma, and Frank Ryder.

On Wall Street Art Behal has been elected to the Board of Governors of the American Stock Exchange. An independent member of the Exchange, he was elected to the 32-member policy-making body in the category of a floor governor. Besides his stock-broker activities, he holds membership in the Dartmouth Club of New York and the Knickerbocker Yacht Club and is a retired Naval Reserve commander. He and Syl and Art Jr. live on Flower Hill in Manhasset, Long Island.

Hi Savage writes "I retired from the Ralston Purina Co. four years ago this spring after being with them for 36½ years. My wife and I bought up a few (20) acres and an old house in the country near Bennington, Vt., and went through the pleasures of completely renovating it. Moved out there three years ago this spring and love the room. Do some gardening and a lot of horseback riding. Getting rid of the horses this spring I hope - too much work for the fun involved. Four daughters, all married with children.

"Have 17 plus (34) grandchildren which should be a record of some kind. After three months' retirement local businessmen put the pressure on to take over the Chamber of Commerce as executive director. Have enjoyed the work and contacts and am still doing it."

Yes, the Alumni Fund is alive and well and Bud French is counting on about fifty of you to help him as agents and on all of us to reach his goal of 400 contributors.
