1928

Heritage Village in Southbury, Conn., is rivalling "the West Coast of Florida as the "in" place for '28 retirement homes. As of today we know of four classmates who have bought condominiums there, and a fifth who is seriously considering doing the same.

Bob and Mildred Kilgore were the first to move there, in 1969. Bob retired in 1967 after 36 years with the National Steel Co. They had lived in New Canaan, Conn.

Next were Bob and Elizabeth Tyson, of New York City, who moved in last September.

El Drake and Adelaide have bought a home there but do not plan to move until July 1. El is retiring as Director of Field Service, Scholastic Magazines Inc., of Englewood Cliffs, N. J. The Drakes have lived for years in Scarsdale, N. Y.

Bill and Ellen Treanor, of Chappaqua, N. Y., moved into their Heritage Village home the end of January and then left two weeks later for a three-week vacation in Portugal. Bill was a trial examiner for the N. Y. State Labor Relations Board and associated with a prominent law firm until 1933, when he became an attorney for Union Carbide Corp., handling labor relations.

We hear that Craig and EleanorHaines, of Milton, Mass., have made a number of visits to Heritage Village and are prime prospects after they sell their Milton house. Our Class Treasurer just retired as a vice president of the First National Bank of Boston.

George Emery has agreed to be our Class Agent to fill the vacancy left by the death of Lew Beers. George has had experience in the job, having served four years as Class Agent from 1960 through 1963, plus many years before that as an assistant class agent. George lives in Atlantic Highlands, N. J. His new responsibility will cut down on his travels this spring, but he is enthusiastic about getting into the harness again. George retired in 1967 after 38 years with N. J. Bell Telephone Co. We all appreciate your willingness to serve, George, and will try to make things easier by contributing early.

If you want reliable advice about unusual places to visit at reasonable prices—in any part of the world—write Wat and Eleanor Dickerman—they've been everywhere and are authorities on freighter travel. We know, because we followed their advice and went on a Yugoslav ship along the Yugoslav coast and the Agean long before it became the place to go. Wat writes from Kahului, Hawaii, that they are staying with friends on Maui while planning another unusual trip. Wat promises inside information on how to visit the Turkish and Norwegian coasts.

Maggie Lane, Myles' wife, has a second book on needlepoint in the hands of her publisher, Scribners. Her first book, "Needle-point by Design" has sold 30,000 copies. Myles, a New York Supreme Court Justice, is presiding over criminal cases ranging from narcotics to murder. He says to get an idea of the crime problem they have to contend with you only have to look at one figure: in nine months from January to September 1971 there were 400,927 major crimes in New York City.

Ace Anthony says he is still at the same old stand on U. S. Route 1 at Darlington. Md., selling cars—but slowing down.

Fred Cole taught his last class at University College of Northeastern in 1969, discontinued his advertising business and retired to New London, N. H. He says, "About a year ago, at a time when the rather aimless aspect of retirement was revealing itself, I was rescued by a call from the president of Nasson College, a former Northeastern University dean. My affiliation with Nasson (in Sanford, Me.) is a made-to-order one on a part-time consulting and working basis. Writing is the main activity, but in a number of areas such as editing their publications, planning their fund-raising literature and devising their public relations programs. Being conveniently near Hanover, naturally we fail to take full advantage of the many available College activities."

Again we are saddened by the death of two classmates. Bob Rockhill died February 19, apparently due to over-exertion in digging his car out of the snow that day near Concord, Mass., while on a trip from New York City to Chelmsford, Mass. to see his grandchildren. Jerry Goodwin of Oakdale, Conn., died February 25. Obituaries will appear in this or a subsequent issue.
