Greetings '15ers! Hope you all had a good summer! Where has the time gone? It seems only a couple weeks ago that I sent in my Notes for the June issue and now I'm writing for my October column.
Now, let's see what news I can give that hasn't appeared in Dale Barker's Frontiersman of July 28. As usual. Dale gave a fine report, not only of 1915's Post-50 Year Reunion in June but listed the names of all that attended. It was indeed a fine turnout for 1915 and the activities made us wish we could have joined that fine group. All the letters Dale received from George Martin's mail bag were informative and interesting and gave 'lsers quite a picture of what some of our' classmates have done and are doing.
Congratulations to Duze Lounsberry and his agents on once again winning the Green Derby for 1915 in Group I. It was a fitting reward for his tireless efforts and those of his agents and he has every reason to be proud of his accomplishments, even going over the dollar objective set by the College.
We received word from Charlie Comiskey early in June and he and Isabel are fine. Dale's Frontiersman gave quite a dissertation on Charlie's disapproval of Dartmouth going coeducational.
Congratulations are also in order for Ruth Crance who was elected Director of Women's Affairs for our Class.
Received several letters from GeorgeMartin. Most of the news about our classmates was not too good. However, he did say Kike Richardson was improving greatly. Another piece of good news is that Jack Bowler is doing very well and even up to doing some work in his garden.
As you all know by now, GeorgeMartin is Dale Barker's assistant so the many replies he receives to his numerous letters are passed on to Dale for publishing in the Frontiersman.
Jack Bowler, in a recent letter (and he confirms he is doing quite well) asked that this be put in the column: he has quite a supply of 50-year books and if anyone wants one or more to let him know. Please write to Jack at 5 Hovey Lane (he has given up his post office box) and he will fill your request pronto. Be sure to give him your correct address and Zip Code number. I am sure most '15ers recall that the 50-year book is a report and summary of our 50th Reunion and has a great deal of information about all classmates to that point.
A short note from Dale Barker reports that he and Bess expected to spend the entire month of August on the Cape just resting and relaxing. Both are fine and we hope will continue in that direction.
Dale enclosed a card from Leslie Dunn. Les says he sees Bob Fredericks quite often as he goes to Dobbs Ferry daily to his lab in Irvington-on-Hudson. He is apparently enjoying his work and, we hope, feeling fine.
Another note Dale enclosed was from Tony Simoneau who says that, although he is under his doctor's care, he is still able to do all the repair jobs around his home and lot. Not too keen on taking long car trips. Says in 50 years he's never bumped a person, a car or an animal but has been hit three times.
Cal Rogers, in replying to one of George Martin's letters, says he is having the usual troubles that have and are bothering most '15ers. His cataract operation proved to be very successful and he says his eyes are much better now.
Henry Mtonheimer reports all is well but at age 79 his pace has slowed up somewhat. He is still associated with a stock brokerage and N. Y. Stock Exchange and says he is happy to have a place to go to while away time.
Bush Campbell reports he's feeling fine but wants to be; on the "go" constantly.
That about winds up news available from '15ers — at least news that would get by our strict censors. Here's wishing all of us a continuance of good living and best wishes from the.good old Class of 1915!
