1928

In addition to performing its function of getting classmates together, the recent '28 Directory inspired Bill Embler to write a very entertaining sociological study of the Class based on its members' hobbies. The study, printed by Stew Hoagland in the last class newsletter, obviously entailed a lot of work inasmuch as there are 425 men listed in the directory and 98 different idle time occupations. Most popular, in order of number of listings, are: Golf, travel, gardening, fishing, photography, woodworking, reading, sailing, hunting, music, walking, and bridge.

If you want information on any hobby and haven't the time to search the whole book, write Bill or me and we'll provide you the names of those interested in philately (13), wine-making (1). bow-and-arrow hunting (1), curling (3) or any of the other 94 hobbies.

A card from John and Peggy Phillips indicates they passed up their usual vacation in St. Croix for one in Barbados.

George and Marion Davis spent a month in Naples, Fla., and found it the best spot they have found yet. They left in time for skiing in Vermont. They still have their dairy farm near Rutland but their farmer is retiring and they may have to go out of business.

Charlie Hazzard's card says they had dinner with the George Boughtons the night before, and would see Brougham and Claire Wallace a few days later. All are members of the large '28 delegation in Delray Beach, Fla.

Roy Milliken's whole family was in Hopetown in the Bahamas for a week in November when they had a memorial service for Mab in the garden of one of her close friends.

Hank Graupner's son Bill is teaching math at Hanks alma mater, Lawrenceville School, and doubles as wrestling coach. He is married and has a daughter 11 months old. Hank's daughter Sally (Hollins '66) was assistant to Martha Graham (modern ballet) until recently . . . has taken a leave and is off to Moscow and Leningrad to take in the Bolshoi Ballet, etc.

Our letter to John Lawrence on Sanibel Island, Fla., to look out for the arrival of Rem Kinne proved to be unnecessary. The Kinnes parked their mobile home next door to the Lawrences in January.

Mary and I spent the first two weeks of February in Mexico. The first week our son Doug drove us around Guadalajara and on to Mexico City via Morelia, then on down to Veracruz. Doug had to return to start his second year at the medical school of the University of Guadalajara so we spent the second week on the beach at Progresso, near Merida in Yucatan. On the flight home we stopped over in Miami and enjoyed a pleasant evening with Gene andFrances Magenis who came over to the airport from their home in Coral Gables.

Ace Anthony passed away January 15. Our sympathy goes to Grace and their son Lee.
