1931

Jim and Donna McElroy spent a good deal of the summer at Seal Harbor, Me. He writes" "We spent a lot of time in our Boston Whaler climbing mountains, biking, etc. We plan to attend a conference of the International Council of Seamen's Agencies at Norfolk, Va., this fall. We expect to take our Winnebago which should be fun." By land or by sea, the McElroys are on the move.!

Dan Denham hangs out the welcome sign at his new location on Longboat Key. midway between the Gulf and Sarasota Bay. He moved there in May and is "pretty well settled in."

From Nels Greenlund: "I'm getting ready to semi-retire. When your grandchild wins two blue ribbons at the County Fair, you realize that time is marching on."

Although he retired last spring, Maury Whittingill came back to University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) this fall to teach human genetics. Is planning to ski in Colorado again in February.

George Phillips retired in September "and now can ride the bus at reduced rates." But he continues: "Marion and I are taking off for Lima, Peru, then we fly on to Buenos Aires and in a week's time reach Cape Town. Gradually we'll cover the east coast of Africa before dropping in on Addis Ababa. Then a few days in Egypt and Greece will prepare us for London. In late November we will fly out of Boston and land in San Diego." With all this exotic travelling how can George find the time to ride a bus?

Ed Mecutchen writes: "They made me captain of the Dartmouth team in the Alumni Bowling League and it is amazing to find how hard it is to get five men out of the 1300 Dartmouth alumni in the area to turn up on Monday nights." Maybe Monday night is rest-up-from-he-weekend night.

Shep Wolff advises that Dave and Alice Loveland have taken up residence in their farm in Norwich, Vt., thus swelling the numbers of Hanover's 1931 contingent almost to platoon size.

How many of us remember the days when Ned Picken hired Nels Rockefeller '30 as his waiter replacement while Ned was out of town playing basketball and baseball. This went on for two years!
