1959

Cle and Butch Priest, Janice andChris Cundey, Kate and Bill Duggan, and Joan and I were again fortunate to be in Hanover on May 5-6 for this year's edition of Class Officers Weekend, and we were treated to the usual stimulating program and just plain beauty of "the place." Spring -has been late and wet in Hanover this year (Chase Field was under water) but we saw the sun for what we were told was only the third time since schlump season ended. We came away feeling that matters are well in hand, and whereas coeducation was the consuming issue last year, the current attitude seems to be relief that the question is finally settled and now the necessary energy can be channelled toward implementing the Dartmouth Plan and coeducation successfully.

Butch will cover class business matters discussed in our abbreviated executive committee meeting via a separate letter which you may have received already.

Dick Hoehn who was unable to make Hanover this year for our meeting, has just been made a partner of Ely, Bartlett, Brown & Proctor, a well-known Boston law firm. Congratulations, Dick!

A quick note from Paul Stein indicates that the brokerage business is alive and well in St. Paul, Minn., as he has just been elected a vice president of Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith. Paul and Ann continue to enjoy St. Paul very much where they live with their children Val. 5, and Paul, nearly 4. An even quicker note from John "Juice" Nicholas said that in July he will be moving from Zurich, where he has been director of Life Magazine International, to London, with wife Dianna, daughter Jillian and son Jonathan.

Rockingham (N.H.) National Bank recently announced the appointment of HerbGrant to the board of directors. Herb is presently executive vice president of the Kingston-Warren Corp. in Newfield and is active in community affairs as a member of the Kensington Planning Board and Exeter Rotary Club. He and Barbara live in Kensington and have two daughters.

Treasurer Bill Dugrgan explained that the dues bills are late this year due to a fire in his office which destroyed what was to be the first mailing. He would appreciate a quick response and I would appreciate your taking an extra minute to include some information of your current activities.

Church in Westport, Conn. Howard is a professional educational consultant who has served as admissions dean and counselor at Princeton, as well as private school headmaster, and conducts a summer counselling program which he founded for teenagers.

From Anchorage, Alaska comes word that Aron Wolf was elected to the school board, along with the wife of State Senator Lowell Thomas Jr., another Dartmouth alumnus. George Le Fevre has a private practice in orthopedic surgery in San Diego, and an undated post card indicated he has one daughter age 14 months and a baby due imminently.

This month closes out the 1972 Alumni Fund Drive and there is no need for me to repeat the reasons why Dartmouth is relying on us for financial support. Early returns indicate 1959 has started off very well and I sincerely hope each of us will do his part to help the class meet its share of the Fund's goal.

Hope you all have a pleasant summer.
