By the time this sees the light of day the clan will be gathering, or perhaps will already have gathered, for our Famous Forty-fifth, and an account of the doings will appear sometime thereafter. But at this date new names are still being added to the list of those planning to be on hand. Only recently Art Keleher wrote that a visit from Larry Leavitt '25 to the Kelehers at Dunedin, Fla., where they live, had persuaded Art and Marion to make the trek north. An additional reason for their decision was the fact that their son Arthur is to be in Hanover for his 20th reunion.

Tom Gillespie reported that he and Dot enjoyed their trip to Arizona in the course of which they had had dinner one evening with Doane and MarieArnold and Kay Prescott who was visiting the Arnolds for a couple of weeks. Tom also let us know that he has agreed to act as president of the United Fund for 1973 in New Milford, Conn., where he lives. He naturally has to attend frequent meetings and has very much enjoyed becoming acquainted with some of the old-time residents of the town. Your scribe knows how very rewarding this can be and wishes that everyone could at some time or other have the same experience.

After 46 years of service at Staunton Military Academy, the last 20 as superintendent, Colonel Harrison S. Dey retired on December 31, 1972 to become superintendent emeritus and a member of a new Board of Directors. Harry and Mrs. Dey will continue to live in Staunton, Va., where, according to the SMA Alumni News, "In his newly created position as a director he will continue to provide valuable advice in the operation of the Academy."

Hale Ham, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Division of Research in Medical Education at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, was honored in April by the American College of Physicians with the Distinguished Teacher Award, given periodically to "a physician who has demonstrated the ennobling qualities of a great teacher." Hale shared the award with Dr. Robert F. Loeb, Professor of Medicine Emeritus of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. Hale was one of the architects of the 1952 Western Reserve curriculum which, according to the Case Western Reserve publication Medlines, "has significantly influenced medical education in this country and abroad." Medlines continued, "He has contributed to the development of many innovative techniques in student self-education and evaluation and worked closely with other medical centers in producing and testing learning materials."

That's ail for now. So long, the best of luck to you all, and

ON TO HANOVER!
