1918

The following comes from George Rowell: "For the past three years I have been more or less retired. I guess it accounts for the fact that I have finally achieved 77 years of age which may or may not be a good thing. I miss seeing the boys of '18 but I realize that like myself they probably are getting a bit older. Best luck to you and Jack Bingham."

Speaking of our sterling newsletter editor I have some bad and some good news to report. While they were away for a week or two over the holidays their furnace staged a blow up two days before'they were to return home. The inside of the house and all the contents were thoroughly blackened. The foregoing is the bad news. The good news is that due to their absence Jack and Marian escaped the blackening process and any other physical damage they might have suffered.

I have been receiving bulletins from SpudProctor and Monk Cameron relative to the Powwow. lone and I have finally decided to go, ignoring all traveling difficulties that may arise. The date is March 14, at the Fort Pierce Holiday Inn, beginning about 4 p.m.

Another big Dartmouth event is coming up on the West Coast May 17-19, the first college conference to be held in San Francisco in 15 years. It sounds like a wing-dinger. For further details address correspondence to Dartmouth In San Francisco, Derek T. Knudson '65, Suite 2424, One California Street, San Francisco, California 94111.

This is not a good note to close on; but since the first of the year we have lost three of our gallant band. They are Hal Day, Mel Southwick and Ben Stone. Memorial articles will be appearing soon. In two cases the sad news was conveyed by Al Gottschaldt.
