1923

Charlie Zimmerman saw a dream come true recently when the Charles J. Zimmerman Adult Learning Laboratory was dedicated at the American College of Life Underwriters, Bryn Mawr, Pa. The learning laboratory is an educational research and development facility designed to explore and harness new approaches to adult learning for people in insurance and related business professions.

The American College is an independent, nonprofit educational insitution which provides advanced professional study for both men and women. The new building contains audio and video studios, a control room, prop and set workshops, experimental classrooms, and a .learning sciences library. Adult students will be drawn from the Eastern Seaboard for experimental instruction and study of the behavioral patterns of adult learners in business and the professions.

The American College has no resident student body on campus but nearly 1000 classes are conducted throughout the nation using instructional materials developed by the College for the Chartered Life Underwriters (CLU) program. Charlie was an American College trustee for 31 years, is former chairman of its board, and is now honorary chairman.

About the time you will, hopefully, be reading these notes you will receive the seventh and final issue of the Golden Review. Ruel Smith who has endured a broken arm and other ailments during the two long years between the first and the last issues should receive more than passing credit for this work of love. Both he and Marg have given many hours to checking dates and verifying facts, to contending with printing and distribution problems, and in particular to sharpening up the earnest but less experienced efforts of their editorial assistants. A loud and long Wha-Hoo-Wah (1923 type that is), for them both!

We're glad to hear from Ike Phillips that TedBarstow has agreed to take over the job of getting out a class directory to be distributed during, or just prior to. Reunion.

Ruth Billings writes that she and Roger have disposed of their place in Wellesley and will now be at Chatham, Mass., summers and Sarasota, Fla., during the winter months. Bob and NatalieMcMillan are now happily located in their condominium at 85 Grove St., Wellesley Hills, Mass. 02181 Natalie is recovering nicely from a recent operation. And' from Ruel Smith comes word that George and Dorothy Weston are now at Hall Hill Road, Somers, Conn. 06071, still only five miles from the Longmeadow Country Club.

Frank and Gladys Doten hosted a December 10 "brunch'" for their many Hanover and environs friends. The Chet Bixbys, Herb Homes, Babe Miners, Joe Pollards, Ted Barstow and Peg Wilcox were there. The Dodges being increasingly timid drivers couldn't make it, unhappily.

I've been looking over some 25 of the acceptances of those of you who will help Clarence Goss as class agents this year. It's a pretty heartening experience to read these notes. Two stand out, Roy Height, who is now pretty much confined to a wheelchair, says—"I'm certainly enjoying this job and happy you included me on your team." And Joe Millar who is still taking it fairly easy after his recent heart attack plans to be back again as usual.

The accompanying picture shows BobMcMillan and Johnnie Coonley in the Coonley's beautiful garden at Diamond Head, Hawaii. It was taken by Bob's daughter Faith on the occasion of the McMillans' visit to the Islands. Johnnie, who looks as if the years had been kind to him, is now retired and says he doubts if he will be able to make it for the 50th.

Sol Cohn one of 1923's 33 contributions to Phi Beta Kappa writes that he—"would love to see Hanover once again but it's too long a trip for a wheelchair." Sol, who is still cheerful in spite of his disability, is now at 10350 West Bay Harbor Dr., Bay Harbor Islands, Fla. 33154.

Dwight and Marion Keef have bought an old mansion in Hopkinton; N. H., and plan to spend as much time as possible there in the future. They still have their home in Rutherford, N. J., however.

Hubert and Mary Schaaf's Christmas letter tells us that 1972 has been a tough year healthwise for Hubert. On a happier note Mary writes that their daughter Barbara and son-in-law Paul Harris and their family—"are gay and busy and such a joy to us. The children are growing up so fast and each stage of their development is intensely interesting. We are glad to have them living close by."

The Manchester (N. H.) Union-Leader has a fine picture of Ed Grevatts' son Edward welcoming his new assistant pastor to the Laconia Congregational Church. Ed Junior is senior minister of this large congregation. Our classmate Ed passed away in 1964.

John Coonley '23 welcomed his ClassmateBoh McMillan (l) in the tropical DiamondHead garden of John's Hawaiian home.
