1937

We recently heard that Lynn and DanaPrescott had moved west. Their new address is HQ, 6th Army, Presidio of San Francisco, Calif., where Dana is Chief of Communications, Electronics, for 6th Army. His responsibility is the twelve western states but mostly Washington, Colorado, and California as that is where most of the active army is located (Forts Lewis, Ord, and Carson). Son, Craig, is a Ist Lieutenant at Carson. As to their future Dana says he'll know within the next two years although we felt from our last contact he had planned to be retired by now.

Many thanks to all of you who sent Christmas cards and especially to those who sent NEWS. From Sao Paulo, Brazil, Al and Sherry Bryant's letter tells of their "home leave" last June being a walk-in hospital stay for Sherry in Connecticut for major surgery, three weeks there and four weeks recuperation in a New Canaan Inn. Then a month on Lake George for both where again they enjoyed the company of Fern and Bill Coe whose cottage is just across the bay. Al made four round-trip business flights to New York last year and one ten-day swing through Israel, Belgium, and England. For relaxation he still sings in a choir, golfs, and looks after some 125 orchids growing in their garden. Daughter, Betsy, attends the College of Wooster in Ohio.

Rachel and Fred Laughton sold their Bordentown (N.J.) home last fall and are looking for a house or apartment in Pennsville, (N.J.) near Salem where Fred is connected with the nuclear plant site. Son, Skip, has had one stint in Vietnam and returns this month to finish his enlistment. Son, Evan, is a freshman at Norwich.

Barbara and Bob Ekin indicate they hope to get back to reunion next June from California. Fess and Cal Eldred say they probably will not due to business interference. Their son, CP, is with Burlington Industries in North Carolina. Betty andGib Reynolds regretted missing all the Dartmouth action this year due to looking after her aging father at their home on Cape Cod. Cel and L,es Barrett are looking forward to reunion, also produced a grandson via daughter Jane and married off daughter Susan last August. Cel says, "Les and I are 'just scratching,' he's still with National Biscuit and I'm still substituting in Arlington." Meg: and Bob Aylward add a note to their annual newsletter (news recently reported) which we quote, "See you at reunion which happily follows commencement which hopefully will see David graduate!"

All class news dispensers have been asked to publicize a brain-child of the class of 1958—the first Annual Dartmouth Alumni Ski Weekend, March 6 and 7. This is a complete package of two nights lodging and dinners at the Hanover Inn and two days of skiing at the Dartmouth Skiway in Lyme. The fee is $80 per couple with proportionate reductions for singles or one- nighters. Evening entertainment is being developed. Anyone interested write to Dennis A. Dinan, 203 Crosby Hall, Hanover.

Dr. Charley Kligerman gets a straight A for answering our card with a long letter saying he was moved by our efforts to smoke him out. He is a psycho-analyst in Chicago and a training analyst at the Chicago Institute where he also teaches and heads up the curriculum committee. In addition he does some teaching at the University of Chicago where he and Honore live in a big Victorian house on campus with their three children seven through twelve. Their life pattern is hard work all winter then a long summer vacation, usually in Europe. Next summer they go to Vienna for the first psychoanalytic congress held there since Freud left in 1938. Says Charley, "One of my regrets is that I have not been able to attend a class reunion (this one—maybe) and seldom see any of our classmates. Two years ago I went to a meeting in Boston and had the extreme pleasure of seeing Lappin and Berenson and their charming hospitable wives. Considering the lapse of 30 years they did not seem all that different, more mature of course but no less ebullient. Put me on record as being deeply impressed with the advancing stature of our College, the quality of its staff and students, and, if we are to be counted, a vote for coeducation."

Perhaps you noted in the publicity surrounding the 200th Anniversary of the first meeting of the Dartmouth Board of Trustees at the Wyman Tavern in Keene, N. H., that host of the event was CharlesWellington. (Duke) Clark, president of the Cheshire County Dartmouth Club.

Two of our classmates made the December 8th Wall Street Journal. Russ Togs, the apparel maker, announced termination of the Andrew Geller shoe division which it acquired in 1968 stating it had not been profitable. We would appreciate further word from Bert Geller on developments when the smoke clears. The second item concerned the recent fuss surrounding excessive mercury found in canned tuna and swordfish as compounded by the Food and Drug Administration. A statement by Em Brightman, executive vice president of Grand Union Stores, said they were taking voluntary action to remove from their shelves certain lots packed under their name by a Porto Rican company.
