1943

As you read this we will be but a year away from our "advance" 30th reunion (we reune with the classes of '41 and '42). President Charlie Donovan hopefully will reveal the name of our reunion chairman at the time of Class officers meeting in Hanover on April 30-May 1. If so, we shall report the news in the June issue, together with the latest mid-spring Hanover doings.

The 1971 Alumni Fund kickoff in New York drew a big turnout of '43's. They included Bing and Anne Donaldson,Frank and Margot Hartmann, JimHeenehan and his wife, Bob Higrgons and his wife, Stan and Anita Lambert, HerbMarx, Mort and Alese Pechter, Bob and Carol Pinto and Don and Connie Reich. There was an estimated turnout of some 900. After cocktails and food for the stomach, President Kemeney presented much food for thought. Incidentally, the recent Alumni Bulletin (which everyone now receives) gives a fine summary of President Kemeney's plans for the progress of Dartmouth.

Short lines: Fred Richardson, president of Richardson-Webb, Inc. has been elected a member of the Board of Trustees of the Strafford Savings Bank in Dover, N. H. Fred, who the press clipping indicates is very active in local civic affairs, has a daughter Linda, a senior majoring in French and nursing at Simmons College; a son Douglas, a junior at Phillips Andover Academy; and a son Bradley, an eighth grader at Dover Junior High. ConnieYoung, who is vice president and assistant to the president of United of Omaha, has been named general campaign chairman for the fall 1971 Heart of the Midlands United Appeal in Omaha. Bob Ehinger has been elected secretary and treasurer of Western Electric, the manufacturing and supply unit of the Bell System. Bob joined Western Electric in 1946 and most recently was director of defense activities. Our members on the 1971 Dartmouth Alumni Fund Committee George Munroe has been elected to the board of directors of the American Arbitration Association.

Here in Washington, Harry Semmes suffered a compound fracture of the left arm in a paddock accident barely a half hour before the Potomac Cup race. A twist of fate in the accident was that Harry, who has been winning regularly in hunt races around Washington, was kicked by the horse who went on to win the race—ridden by none other than Harry's brother David (a non-Dartmouth man).

In the Boston area, Fred Stockwell was Dartmouth's representative at the inauguration of Gregory Adamian as president of Bentley College in Waltham, Mass.

Finally, the sympathy of the Class goes to Bob Perkins whose father passed away in February.
