1918
Gene and Elizabeth Clark write they expect to miss Reunion for they plan by June to have moved to San Diego to be near their daughter.
Bill Pepin remains active with no wish to retire. He attributes his ability to climb the White Mountain Range to his D.O.C. trips as an undergraduate. He relaxes at his camp on Win-nipesaukee when he inspires the bass to bite as he takes a slug of his favorite brand.
We had a good letter from Bill Montgomery who expects to be at Reunion. His big complaint over the years is that summer visitors, as they leave for the city, dump their pets, even in his barn, requiring a visit to the animal shelter.
Ed and Kathy Ferguson spent the winter at home. They find that their state voters are remaining the "Cod State," "The Taxachusetts," and add that Ed Emerson is active in the Cape Cod Dartmouth Club and that the Shirleys were off to visit their daughter on the West Coast.
A cheerful letter arrived from Sime Gordon reporting he and Gertrude will be at Reunion. The same arrived from Ben Stone. Such is truly ap- preciated, only they did not include any news. As New Englanders, they may have had enough of gossip, but as a transplant from Down East Maine my job is to chatter about 1918ers for the edification of the Class and those of other classes who read these columns, so Dartmouth men, gOSSIP with your secretaries!
Steve Mahoney reports Chet Hutbert's son Richard is now vice president of The Chemical Bank and, as chief of auditors, spent the winter visiting European branches.
Don and Gabriela Bliss translated from Spams Cervantes, the Man and the Genius by Francisco Navarro Ledesma, Gabriela's uncle. It was reviewed in The New York Times.
I am sorry to report the deaths of Oscar W. Bilharz, Roger L. Howland, and Reverend GeorgeM. Davis Jr. Obituaries will appear in this or later issue. At the service for George, the Class was represented by Dwight and Peg Sargent, Chet Hulbert, and Steve and Dorothy Mahoney- Dwighted reported just before the service, played fully "Dartmouth Undying," a real tribute to a lifelong, loyal alumnus.
"'our Valedictorian Guilford P. St. Clair sent a to Ed Felt which is confusing. At least Ed and your scrible knwon Gilt. is still alive.
Frank Chamberlain again wintered at Madeira Fla. Lester Granger has moved to 4415 Lee Si., Alexandria, La. 8301.
Dwight and Mary Edison, after a delightful winter of golf, swimming, and sun at Palm Snrings Calif., returned to their Houston, Texas, home. They paused to visit Stew and Helen Teaze at Rancho Miarge.
Cort Horr now only travels to college book stores in Northern Illinois and Indiana. He chatted on the phone with Ed Healey and found George and lone Woodruff busy promoting real estate on their Hidden Acres Farm and that lone won her battle and George so shaved the whiskers. The Woodruffs are to enjoy spring flowering shrubs in the pines of the Carolinas, Georgia, and Tennessee.
Recall our 50th Reunion when we won awards for attendance and grabbed a Green Derby in the Alumni Fund Race? Baron von Kapff does, and he and his team of agents, as the 1973 Fund campaign opens, give us a real challenge. Then George Stoddard and his committee are looking for reunion reservations. So the magic number is "55"-55,000 to the Alumni Fund and 100 per cent attendance at our 55th Reunion on June 8,9, and 10.
