1920
Col. Hib Richter, who re-entered law practice in Concord, N.H., is building a new home in East Concord in which he may install an office for his legal practice. Hib still has. his lovely place on beautiful Newfound Lake which is only 30 miles away. He regularly attends the Merrimack County-Dartmouth meetings in Concord with his brother Paul.
Frank Moulton lives in Hanover but practices law in Littleton, N.H., so he commutes over the Connecticut Valley highways every weekend or oftener. Frank says it's a beautiful drive even in winter and many a legal problem untangles en route. However, he professes that nothing unusual has turned up. Apparently the situation up Apthorp way has simmered down!
Almus Russell leads a busy life. Between the writing of many articles for many publications he finds time to serve as secretary for the Bloomsburg, Pa., Rotarians; program chairman of the Columbia-Moreton Chapter of the AARP; and vice president of the Columbia County Historical Society.
Frank Morey, who represents 1920 at the Glen Falls Dartmouth Club, reports that his family is well and that he is fully occupied with the county supervisor's position to which he was elected last year.
Gene Fiske has a cottage on Cape Porpoise, Me'.; and spent a busy summer there in 1972 supervising repairs to the cottage which was damaged by the coastal storms of a year ago. We hope that all is shipshape now, Gene.
From Sheboygan. Mich., comes" word that the Kinney Smiths planned to spend some time in Florida this past winter and then take off via plane to explore the South Sea Islands, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, Mexico City, Acapulco, and back again to Florida and thence by car to Michigan.: Sounds like a grand tour, Kinney, and we hope all went well.
Steve Graves continues to wield his racquet in tournaments up and down the Pacific Coast. He modestly, claims that he doesn't come out on top very often but he does have lots of fun. How about pairing up with Ralph Roberts, Steve, if you can catch Ralph arid Dorothy at home between skiruns in Switzferland?
At long last Al Steinbrecher breaks the silence that has closed over Santa Barabara far too long. He confesses'that he likes Al Foley's Twenty (who doesn't) and the Alumni Magazine helps him keep track of the "doings." on the Hanover Plain many of. which.he, doesn't like. It's good to know that you, still have iuteres't.Al.
Classmates' will' be happy to learn that the .autumn 19-72 -Report of "Friends of the Dartmouth library" lists among its many donors the following: Sherman Adams with a thoughtful addition to. the collection of his papers maintained within the College library; H. Sheridan BaketelJr. who gave the library an oil portrait of Daniel Webster by Bernard. Uhle; William and. LauraCarter, a gift of several publications dealing with the economy of Glile arid a collection of 19th century music; Dean fimeritus Joseph L; McDonald, two D. H. Lawrence volumes arid items of Dartmouth memorabilia; Grosvenor Plowman, Dartmouth drawings prints executed by his father George Taylor Plowman as well as funds to make possible the publication of the former in handsome booklet form and the reissuance of the latter; J. Almus Russell, his personal papers for preservation in the College Archives; and PaulSample, his watercolors of American, French, Italian scenes and subjects,, together with sketchbooks of work in New Hampshire. Ver- mont, Maine, Haiti, and Quebec.
It is interesting also to note that in total class giving to June 30, 1972 the Class of 1920 ranks third with $4,769,748, this amount being exceeded only by the classes of 1915 and 1926. Some day it would be nice to have a full accounting of the generosity of the many 1920 members who have supported the forward progress of the College so loyally. At this time we can only say it bespeaks well of the effort and leadership of one H. Sheridan Baketel Jr. and his Committee.
Clint and Annabel Johnson enjoyed a four-week cruise to Portugal and back, he reports, without designation of the season. It continues to be fun for Clint even though he has done much traveling in his active banking days.
As a special event in our Post-50th Reunion in June we will dedicate a bronze plaque to the late Tommy Thomson in the Leverone Field House.
Adios, amigos.
