1930

Woodstock was another success story with 132 for dinner at the Inn following equally well attended preliminaries at the Frenches' cocktail party, the Bema lunch, and the Princeton game. Our after dinner speaker was Charlie Widmayer who entertained us with tales of Hoppy which he has collected for a college-sponsored book he is writing on the life of Ernest Martin Hopkins. A 1930 Award was made posthumously to HarryDunning. Karl Rodi and Fred Watson also received awards with citations by Bob Marr and Bud French.Reuning together for the first time in a long time were our believed-to-be oldest and youngest classmates, Dean Wiggins and Dick Peabody. The spread is something like ten years. Any challengers?

Dick has recently moved to Sugar Hill, N. H. At each mini-reunion we run into someone who hasn't been around for a while, and so it was especially pleasant to visit with Anne and RedHolme and Sylvia and Al Kronengold. Ev Low has accepted the chairmanship of the special giving program related to our 1976 (46th) reunion. It was decided to make reunion a four day affair, Monday-Thursday June 14-17, and Buck Steers is enlisting committee chairmen and has promised to keep the cost affordable. So mark your calendar. John Tiedtke has in- vited Florida classmates to his home at Winter Park on March 22. There will be another Ojai Valley in mid June and rooms have been reserved at the Woodstock Inn for Penn (10-11-75) and Harvard (10-16-76).

Regretfully plans for the Aspen Institute seminar in January have been cancelled because indicated attendance was short of the minimum established. Henry Stein, Lee Chilcote, and FranHorn deserve great credit for sponsoring and planning the seminar and it is hoped that we can work out something of a similar nature prior to 1976, probably in a more centrally located meeting place.

Liela and Bob Marr will cross the Pacific by freighter as part of their winter vacation. WinStone (ret) belies his right to that title by continuing a full teaching assignment at NYU and Columbia.

Ote Humphrey: "Eleanor and I visited our younger daughter Carolyn and her husband Danny Brown in Wrafton-Braunton, North Devon, England. We went over and back on the QE II." Harry Casler: "Arch Clark, Pete Davis and spouses dropped in recently and we had a rump reunion at Church Hill House over dinner. Great fun and brought back many a healthy reminiscence that had lain dormant over so many years. They were on an Irish golfing junket." Ed Meyers: "Spent August touring the Rocky Mountains. Anita and I are taking a Mexico cruise over Xmas on the Princess Line and plan to spend New Year's eve in Palm Springs." Frank Kinderman: "Our company, Kinderman Moving & Storage is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year. We have also recently added the Findlay Moving Company of Westchester County to our operation. I am hap- py that my son Bud has taken over the reins of the company. He has four children and our daughter Betty Anne Smith has a family of five. So we are wonderfully blessed as grandparents."

We have learned with sorrow of the deaths of Bertram Gross on September 19 in Hawaii and of Edmund J. Sprankle on November 2. Our sympathy is extended to their widows and families.
