FORTIETH REUNION! JUNE 11-14, 1973 '33 UP!!!
Bob Goodell writes from London: "If plans work out as I expect them to, I shall be retiring from the USIA foreign service within the next month. We have a house here in Islington (North London) on which we've been spending a lot of time, so now we'll stay on here for a while. An eventual return to the U. S. is a good possibility. Anne and I just might make the 40th Reunion for a day or so, but I'm afraid it is more likely that we'll miss it." Bob also reports that son John, born on July 24, has his two front teeth for Christmas.
Bill Dewey has received many cards indicating that the attendance will be good at our 40th. You've also received word from Wes Beattie that George Farrand, Fran Harrington, Sid Stoneman, and Page Worthington will be working on the Reunion Giving Committee. The goal will be in the range of $125,000 to $150,000 which is approximately three times what we gave to the Alumni Fund last year. So please start your financial planning so this goal will be reached. Appreciated securities make ideal gifts.
George Farrand has started his own consulting business. In September his article "How To Run An Ad Agency For Fun and Profit" appeared in the Madison Avenue Magazine. He is on the board of the Dartmouth Club of New York and sees Dick Bee, Mel Katz, John Thompson, and Sam Black there from time to time. Some people responded to George's request on the class dues notice for class news. "Rolie and Mary Stevens and Pete and Jane Hart had a September reunion, family style, at a rented house near Moosehead Lake, Greenville, Maine. (Rolie was Pete's roommate 1932-1933 and best man in 1949.) At a time when most of the country was still very warm they enjoyed hearth fires and several blankets. It is magnificent country and the air had a purity they had forgotten. It was great." Charlie Hinds who lives in Bend, Ore., wrote: "We now have five Dartmouth graduates in this community. I am the oldest with my four children and twelve grandchildren—the oldest of them is 17 and ready for college next year! I'm still chief on anesthesia at our local hospital." Carl Hopkins from Los Angeles is Chairman of the Department of Public Health and Associate Dean, School of Public Health, U.C.L.A. He recently received the award "Honorary Fellow of the American Statistical Association."
Friends of the Dartmouth Library published a 26-page "Gift Report—Autumn of 1972." As of June 30 there were 725 individuals enrolled as Friends and general income for the year amounted to $13,250. Included in those listed as making gifts of books, etc. were: NatLeonard—"Der Dom ... Koto" by Arthur Lindner: George and Elsie Werrenrath —pamphlets and legal documents about early railroads in New England and New York; bookplate resources, including original designs and drawings by Mrs. Werrenrath's uncle, George I. Wilhelmy; volumes of historical and literary significance; Mrs. F. Lupton White— 1870 receipt found among the papers of her grandfather, Frank E. Wallace of Ashburnham, Mass. Hopefully there are others who would like to participate in this worthwhile project.
Page and Marge Worthington spent ten days in Phoenix back in December and while in the area called on Jack and Helen Huntress at their Sugar Bowl which is Scottsdale's original old-fashioned ice cream parlor.
Al and Betty Speare's Christmas card brought news of an incredible three-weeks Audubon Safari to Kenya and Tanzania last August.
"The Scoop" published each Christmas by Charlie and Gene Clark told of their travels during 1972—Hawaii in the spring, Rotary International Convention in Houston in June, Alaska during the summer, and a cruise in the Carribbean over Christmas. Sounds wonderful!
Please keep the news coming.
