1930
About half of the Class has responded to the request for information to be used in the 1973 class directory. The closing date is March 15 and we don't want to leave out anyone. A copy of the directory will be mailed to each class member. Not surprisingly the most prompt responses have come from retirees. Babs Allyn did a great job last year in Alumni Fund work with widows and families of our deceased classmates. Liz Doherty will assume this responsibility for 1973 and we know her enthusiasm will be catching. Meanwhile Babs will be taking a cargo-passenger ship from New York to Hong Kong, a two-month voyage. Then by air to Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii for another two months.
Herm Schneebeli is now the ranking Republican member of the House Ways and Means Committee. No retirement for him. He anticipates being extremely busy on income tax reform, trade legislation, and then a series of sessions on legislation for national health insurance. "Both of our daughters are married to lawyers and I have my Ivy League problems since my sons-in-law are from Harvard and Yale. Mary Lou and I to date have three grandsons and one granddaughter, all of whom are potential candidates for Dartmouth. I assume that by the end of my two-year session, I will be one of the few members of the Class who has not retired."
Herb Chase, an old hand at retirement, finds life in the Hanover area never dull. He has been officiating at track meets for the past three seasons and is presently Job Placement Chairman of the Hanover Dartmouth Club.

He confirms that Louiseand Bob Keene have left Dogford Road and are living in Mexico.

Caroline and Alex spent Thanksgiving with Bruce and his family in New Orleans where he is general manager of the Hotel Pontchartrain. They will go to Jamaica in March and Gwen and Dick are planning on Europe later this year which is their 40th anniversary.
Frank Kindermann denies retirement on the pretext that he is much too young. He does say however that his son is really running the show and identifies their new residence, Golden Bridge, as located a short distance above Mt. Kisco. Things are stacked in layers in Westchester. JoeGolan joined Eastman Kodak in 1930, most recently was superintendent of the motion picture and sheet film division, and retired at the end of last year.

John Rath expects to finish his doctoral work at Stanford this fall.

Bradley '66 is an analyst with Arkwright - Boston Insurance Co. in Waltham. Milt expects to attend the Orlando 1930 meeting. Russ Gray has retired from New England Telephone after 41 years, mostly in Maine. "It sure is great to awake in a blizzard and know you don't have to drive all day in it unless you want to. I still pursue my lifetime organ playing. What was an avocation is now a profession you might call it." Ed Nye, mostly retired, keeps busy with some retail consulting, bridge, tennis, travel and charities. The Nyes are fortunate in having their son Richard, his wife and two children living nearby in New York City. With a daughter still in college, Warrie Knapp shuns retirement. Alice is librarian in the Elmira, N.Y. School District. Son Joe has one more year in the service and is stationed in Seoul.
As a field director, American Red Cross, HossDrew has been stationed all over the world, and unlike most of us was once a member of the Iceberg Toastmasters' Chapter in Greenland. Now he and Helen are going to settle for Muskogee, Okla., when Hoss retires in July. They have a married daughter living in Piedmont and another daughter at home.
Lee Eisler retired in 1959 and shortly thereafter rediscovered skiing in the Poconos and more recently in Vermont. He will be in Hanover for the Alumni Ski Weekend in March. Lee recently wrote a little book on Bertrand Russell's moral philosophy and is working on another.
