1927

Spring brings recollections of duck boards across campus, Easter vacations, and plans for summer. But nowadays it's the Florida Winter-birds wondering how they are going to get enough gasoline to make the homeward journey. Somehow they do. Those of us who chose to stay put this winter have a smug sense of secureness which is now being needled by the desire to get out on the golf course again.

Winter complacency was shaken when the day after a birthday greeting was sent GeorgeFriede letters were received from both SamMartin and Dud Sercombe telling of his death a few days before. They, with Paul Woelfel, constituted the Portland, Ore., delegation, a most loyal group. Sam is still busily practicing law, but a Tittle disturbed over Harvard Law's recent super liberal trends. Dud is district sales representative of Shaw-Barton, an Ohio firm famous for its calendars and advertising specialties.

Merle Brush claims he is semi-retired, although he is helping his son operate apartments in Williamsport, Pa.

John Delmarle finds it much easier to play golf now that he has retired to Southern Pines, N.C., from his native Rochester. Drawing, portrait painting, and remarriage have replaced specialty food manufacturing.

Edwin M. Knapp is enjoying retirement in Daytona Beach, Fla., but still takes part in church and community activities.

Rollins A. Furbush, native of Salem, Mass., has retired to California after working up to president and chief administrative officer of American National Insurance Co. in Galvestpm. Texas. His present hobbies are ranching and quarter horses.

Also in California is Francis J. Bruguiere of San Jose. He followed up his editorship of Weslern Advertising Magazine with service with FMC until a year ago. He keeps his hand in advertising, but lets his partner do most of the agency's work. He still loves to swim, but no more of the diving for which we remember him Bruggy plays some rocking chair tennis and travels.

Bill Munnecke of Leland, Mich., retired in 1965 as director of field enterprises and vice president and general manager of Marshall Field's newspaper division consisting of the Chicago Sun Times and the Chicago Daily News. His present activities include the Leland Mercantile Co., trustee of the Munson Medical Center in Traverse City, and director of Belfour Stulen. Inc. That leaves just enough time for gardening and local civic affairs.

Small world. Just learned that Sid Voice and his musically talented wife live across the street from the 74th Street branch of Chemical Bank in New York City where our daughter Carol Darnall was an officer, and they exchanged greetings almost daily. But Carol has moved to St. Louis. And we don't have any '27s in St. Louis.

Irrepressible Bill North is feeling better and although retired, has started editing a newsletter for Beech Hill Farm in Dublin, N.H., and locking after their accounts. He reports they experienced 15° to 20° below zero temperature, this winter, oil shortage or no.

Jack Andrews and his wife have spent a good bit of the past year travelling - from their home in Massachusetts to Colorado to Tennessee to Vermont to Maine to Connecticut to Massachusetts, skiing, boating, visiting Never a dull moment.

When 1 told Attorney Oren C. Herwitz I was handling several interesting appropriation cases for CEI for the atomic energy plant site in Perry, Ohio, he replied that he had negotiated contracts for G.E. of England for generators for nuclear plants of Detroit Edison and Southern Cal. Edison. Obviously he is following the British labor problems with keen interest. Oren missed fall reunion because of surgery, but back at the office with no intention of retiring.

Woodie Burgert of Siesta Key, Sarasota. Fla., says some people resent birthdays, but to him the alternative is not very appealing.

Mike Ketz of Port Washington, N.Y., says retirement gives him time to spend three days a week as treasurer of a trust fund that gives scholarships to children of employees of his former employer. Sam Wormser fills the rest of his time with work on the Alumni Fund. His son graduated from Dartmouth in 1964.
