1930

George Lord, chief of staff at Henrietta D. Goodall Hospital in Sanford, Me., received an honorary degree from Nasson College in June. Dr. Lord was at Mary Hitchcock from 1938 to 1961 and is president of Nasson's board of trustees. Retirements continue to be 1930 headline news. Dick Parker is now Brown Professor of Egyptology Emeritus. He and Gladys have returned from several months in England and France and they dropped by in August to bring us up to date on their travels. Dick will continue his research and expects to go back to England for meetings in December and then to Paris a year from now. Paul Thompson has retired after more than 40 years at the University of Colorado. He served as chairman of the Department of English in Engineering for several years and most recently has been chairman of the department of Integrated Studies. He sees a "terribly bright" future for the humanities and is looking forward to completing his edition of Johnathan Swift's account books. The Thompsons will continue to live in Boulder.

Ben Demers, "a 38 year veteran of state service," has retired from his duties as deputy commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Employment Security. Although he indicates that he will consider part-time consulting work, it is likely that he will pay more attention to his membership in the New Hampshire Senior Golfers Association. Emily and he are grandparents of six. Bob Keene has been a known retiree for some time, but a June address change to Guanajuato, Mexico, raises the question as to whether he and Louise have deserted Etna. Jerry Howard, president of Wolverine Nut Company of Detroit, reports an address change which, because it's Tuscon, may be an indication that he has left the business world.

On July 1, I also turned in my uniform and have found that the first two months of vacation have been very easy to take. Stonington is one of our favorite "to be revisited" Connecticut towns and this summer we stopped to visit with the Avellars who live in a delightful home on Main Street. Displaced from the Mystic area by Route 95, they settled here about ten years ago. Offshore is their motor sailer Sunflower which they take to the Bahamas in the winter. Ray is active in town affairs and Katherine is a master flower gardener. It was a pleasant reunion. Dick Bowlen is kneedeep in a new venture by Scanmark Division of Markem in Keene, which has developed a carrier-supported process for marking materials. These marks can be read by a scanner to provide inventory control and to open the door to completely automated stockrooms.

Art Browning led 1930 to the winner's circle in the 1972 Green Derby, edging 1931 in a combination of participation and giving. Art has served the Class as head agent seven times and we're all proud of his achievements. Fran and Billie Horn went into round-the-world orbit again this summer. A card from Samarkand indicated that they had toured the USSR for several weeks and were headed for Moscow. Harrison Condon's son Peter and Terry Edith Glassford were married in North Lima, Ohio in August.

The fall reunion will be held on the weekend of the Princeton game. 1930 headquarters will be at the Woodstock Inn and activities will include a Friday afternoon executive committee meeting, luncheon on Saturday and dinner after the game at Woodstock. Sally and GeneMagenau are coming from Paris. We'll see you there.

A 1930 gathering at the Chagrin Falls, Ohio, home of Lee Chilcote in June included(I to r) Brownie Neff, Cliff Vogt, Jack Wooster, Bob Chittim, Junie Neff, andChilcote. Wooster was in Ohio for the marriage of his son Dick '71 to BrookeCarmichael, Dartmouth exchange student.
