Getting back to the present, there are some news items from the spring and summer which are now somewhat old.
Frank Kennedy was elected to a five-year term on the board of trustees of the College of St. Elizabeth in Morris Township, N.J.
It is almost time for some to start south again but we still have some late items from last winter's Florida news.
Eddie and Haven Blake did a week of house sitting in Delray for the Zahms' while George and Fran worked over the bonefish in the Bahamas Deepwater Cay. Later in the winter the Zahms had a sailing journey around the end of Florida with two other couples, going from Ft. Lauderdale to Naples and Venice on the Gulf.
Later in the spring Fran Zahm went to Hanover and in four days supervised the execution of her plan for the renovation of the sculpture garden in Hopkins Center. The workmen, who have done many of her gardens, came up from western New York and brought with them all the stone work and plant material making this rapid transformation possible in time for graduation.
Connie and Louise Kurtz flew to Florida from Buffalo for a couple of weeks on the beach in Delray in February and are planning to return this winter.
Ken Montgomery and his charming bride Harle stopped at the Abels for refueling during a March weekend escape from Chicago. They were heading for La Jolla on the other coast seen thereafter.
The Zahms had as guests at a gala dinner party in mid-March the '25ers who were in town at the time. These were Ross and Marian Beatty,Dutch and Florence Schroedel, Ross and LouisaPearl, Win and Peg Prescott, Horton and ElsaConrad and Curt and Marian Abel.
Bill and Bille Jenkins deserted Cape Cod for a long winter sojourn in Venice before a late spring trip to Scandinavia.
The Whitney Campbell 1925 Intern Endowment Fund was established earlier this year by Bob Borwell in memory of Whit. The fund will support two undergraduate interns annually one in the Dartmouth News Services and the other in the Alumni Magazine office with the aim of providing practical experience in journalism. Frank Long '77 and Victor Zonana '75, both staff members of The Dartmouth, have been selected to hold the internships for this academic year.
Tom Csatari '74 who held Bob Borwell's '25 scholarship and attended our dinner in Hanover last fall with Judy Burrows "76 is now engaged to Judy. Tom was co-captain and All-America defensive end on the football team last fall and as an NCAA Scholar will attend Vanderbilt University School of Law.
Jon, son of the late Marty Huberth, was associate producer of the Green Mountain Guild, organizing summer theatre at Quechee, Killington, and Stowe, and taking part as both actor and director.
Dick Nye is still sailing the sloop "Carina" out of Greenwich, Conn. There was a lengthy article by Al Alyn Jr., well-known sailing racer and teacher, in The New York Times last summer about his experience as a member of the crew in the New York-Bermuda race this year. Dick did not happen to win this race, but has won at least his fair share of such events.
