1920

George A. "Gugger" and Josephine Fiske make their annual pilgrimage north from Florida to attend the Harvard game on October 27 at the Stadium and the Yale-Dartmouth game in Hanover on November 7. Gugger finds this a good time to join his brother, a Yalie of the Class of '24.

It is always a pleasure to report in this column on the lives and works of the children of classmates. On this occasion we write about the sons of Hib and Kathy Richter of East Concord, N.H. They have two boys: Peter Gordon and Frederick Farrar.

Peter, the older, is now head of the Science Department of the Newton (Mass.) South High School in the highly regarded Newton system. A graduate of Brookline High School, he attended Boston University, majoring in geology. He has a master's degree in science from Syracuse University and is a firm believer in educational refreshment programs that bring teachers back to college or university periodically. Peter and his family live in Bourne on Cape Cod. An active Mason, he attends lodge in Brookline where monthly he meets his Dad who is also an active Mason.

Frederick Farrar, the younger son, joined the Air Force from Brookline in 1967. He is a graduate of the University of Maryland and at one time worked for Senator Saltonstall in business. He is now employed in the General Services Administration as a classification specialist. He recently received his master's degree in Government and Business Administration from the George Washington University. Fred, with his wife and two children, lives in Arlington, Va.

At a gathering of several members of the 1920-1921 clan in Concord's Highway Motel in early August Paul Richter suffered a fall and sustained a bad cut below his eye. Paul was hospitalized temporarily for repairs but so far as we know has suffered no further ill effects.

In the spring of 1972 from La Turbie in southern France came a note and a beautiful picture addressed to the editors of Tuck To-day of a restored monument built by Augustus Caesar in 5 B.C. The restoration of the monument was the philanthropic work of Edward Tuck, Dartmouth graduate and great benefactor. The senders of the note and the lovely picture were those two world travellers, Lee and Alice Ungar. How far reaching has been the good works of Edward Tuck. How thoughtful of the Ungars.

Phil and Hilda Gross proudly report the arrival of another grandchild, born on July 30.

Congratulations go to H. Sheridan Baketel Jr. CLU, who this year observed his 50th anniversary as an insurance underwriter. Long with the Union Central Life Insurance Company which he joined in its New York office, Sherry transferred to Philadelphia as Union Central's manager for Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, and Delaware. In this capacity he was eminently successful. One can only cite some of the highlights in this man's career in insurance such as past president of both the Philadelphia Association of Life Underwriters and the Philadelphia Chapter of CLU; vice president of the Pennsylvania Association of Life Underwriters; co-founder of the Philadelphia Estate Planning Council; 18th recipient of the Philadelphia Association's Award for Outstanding Service; and co-founder of the Life InsuranceDigest. Currently he is senior partner of Baketel & DeCoursey, specialists in employee benefit and insurance business planning. Despite his busy professional career he manages to allocate a good share of his time to the interests of Dartmouth College where his services have been legion and most valuable. In the language Amerilingo "Wottaman!"

Art Pfeiffer's fame as owner and builder in partnership with his son Bruce of a Frank Lloyd Wright dream house at Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona, spreads with full page articles with pictures in the Arizona Republic and The Christian Science Monitor. Art cruised the Caribbean this summer and took a plane trip to Marcuto near Caracas, Venezuela. Additionally he reports having been elected to membership in the "Golden Eagles." This organization, limited to 200 members, is composed of World War I Naval Aviators. Art's election comes just prior to the Eagles 1974 Reunion on the West Coast.

In an exchange of correspondence of a genealogical nature concerning "Henry W. Dearborn, Portrait of a Patriot" which appeared in a recent issue of New Hampshire Echoes I learned from our own Henry Dearborn that he is for for-saking his winter home in Florida to return full time to Kennebunk, Me. He has sold his condominium in Daytona Beach and is lookingforward to a real New England winter for the first time in 12 years. I sense that this is no "tongue-in-cheek" observation. Hank says "I still enjoy painting but I am slowing up a little."

Via Ma Bell's network your secretary enjoys the crisp but cheery voice of Jack Mayer in San Diego on occasional transfers of messages of mutual interest.

Sadly we must report the passing of Arthur W.Stockdale at the University Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, on August 12, 1971. And on September 2, 1971, that gracious lady, Betty Baketel, wife of our Sherry, left us. Interment was at her beloved Canaan Street, N.H.

Adios, amigos.
