1948

Happy Ground Hog Day! February marks the noticeable lengthening of days and slightly warmer skiing. Even in Maine it seems that spring will come, eventually!

Haying just reread Bobo Russell's December "On and off the Campus" I think I have a better feel for the Class than I have had for years! I hope everyone took the time to read Bobo's missile and to appreciate the fine job he does.

Wid Washburn was good to drop me a line. Wid has been with the Smithsonian Institution since 1958 where he is now Director, American Studies Program. After Dartmouth he received his Ph.D. from Harvard, taught at William and Mary, and then joined the Smithsonian. Wid has an impressive list of organizational memberships as well as publications. He has written a number of articles dealing with the American Indian and has received an Honorary Doctor of Letters degree from St. Mary's College in Maryland. Wid and Lelia have two sons, ages ten and 14, who are at St. Alban's in Washington.

Brad Winans brightened my day recently with a humorous note. Said he hated to write about himself when it's S.O.S. (same old stuff)! Brad works for General Motors, Chevrolet Division, as regional dealer leasing manager for the New England States and a part of New York. He finds his work "very satisfying" and would do it over again—given the chance. Wife Peggy is teaching English at Northport Junior High School. She has earned her masters degree in English and is now working on a second one in Guidance. Brad says if only he could cook and sew! Their oldest daughter Sharon is a junior at Regis College in Weston, Mass.; Brad Jr. is a freshman at Norwich University, Northfield, Vt., and Maggie and Jim ages 15 and 12 are still in public school.

Good also to hear from Earl Stewart who is manager of district sales for Atlantic-Richfield in Sacramento, Calif. Earl has been with Atlantic-Richfield for 20 years and has been in Sacramento a little over a year. He and Verle have five children and as of September last year, they are all away. One son has graduated from college and the other three boys and a girl are in college. Earl is very active in the Rotary Club of Sacramento and Verle belongs to more clubs than he " ... can name or can afford!" A problem which is all too familiar.

Bob Welch was also good enough to reply to a recent inquiry. Bob is assistant principal at Grosse Pointe North High School as well as being an Enaglish instructor at Wayne County Community Hospital- Two sons Bob and Dick, 10th and 9th grades, both of whom play musical instruments, keep Bob and Susanne busy. The family took a trip this past summer to Arizona and New Mexico to study Indian Culture, primarily Hopi, Zuni, and Navajo. While watching a Hopi Home Dance high on a mesa Bob ran into another Dartmouth Alumnus, Eugene Atkins, an art collector from Tulsa, Okla.

While we are in the "It's a Small World" department it seems appropriate to remind you again about June 14-17 which will give us all a chance to catch up. Hope to see you all there!
