1936
A few days after this goes in to Hanover there will be a meeting in Hanover of the Class Executive Committee after the annual meetings of the Class Officers associations held by the College early in May each year. Hopefully we will also see some other members of the Class who are in the vicinity since all classmates are welcome to executive committee meetings.
The regular fall meeting will again be held at Stone End Lodge at Lake Sunapee October 11-13 with the meeting Friday night and cocktails and dinner Saturday night after the Dartmouth-Penn game. If you are interested send $10 per person to Treasurer Ed Higbee for room reservations. Overflow will be taken care of in the area with meals at Stone End. As usual anyone is welcome either night if you will advise me or Ray Butler so we can arrange for meals. The annual lobster feast is scheduled for early August at Tommy and Laura Thomas's in Maine. If you are within the area you shouldn't miss it. Let Tommy or Pete Fitzherbert know.
This last column until fall seems as though it should be for a travel magazine since much of our news involves that subject. As usual our class continues to be very mobile and of some 33 address changes going to Tithe for relay to you, 15 are to new cities or states. Of more temporary travel news we'll start with Bill and Anna Wyman's personally conducted tour to Greece which leaves May 5 and returns May 18. '36ers joining the Wymans are Pete and Barbara Fitzherbert, Niels and Jane Nielsen, Harry and Rose Coronis, George and Ruth Brown, Basil and Katie Coutrakon and daughter Laurel, Rod and Betty Ladd, Gil and Ann Sykes, Gil's sister Marion Longacre and a friend, Elizabeth Beckwith. They will be in Athens for five nights then board ship for a week through the Greek island and Istanbul, Turkey. Among other plans they are arranging "a '36 night at a Taverna" in conjunction with Mike Choukas, retired Dartmouth professor, who is now Provost of Pierce College in Athens. Some of the group are continuing on to Vienna, Zurich, and Amsterdam for another ten days. Also in Greece at about the same time are Jack and Peggy Greenwood who will be with the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Greater Boston.
Our insurance men seem to be planning their meetings well, particularly with regard to location. The Fitzherberts have a week in London lending meetings before joining the Greek group. Jim and Kay Stephens have a company meeting in Bermuda in May, and Paul and EasyGuibord had a company meeting in the Bahamas in April. What about some of the rest of you. Where do you go and what are you doing?
Congratulations are in order for Joe Bishop, Professor of Law at the Yale Law School. He was one of 342 scholars who received fellowship awards totaling $4,151,500 from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation. The awards were granted on the basis of demonstrated accomplishment in the past and strong promise in the future. Joe's subject: Law and practice in the use of the British armed forces to control major domestic emergencies.
Our Treasurer Ed Higbee has just been elected to a three-year term on the Council of American Certified Public accountants.
A letter from Ed Brooks brings us up-to-date on recent changes. He retired as group vice president of Cities Service Co. last March 1973, traveled for six months then he and Ruth settled Providence, R.I., where he is executive v.p. and general manager of Taco, Inc. a manufacturer of pumps and valves. He reports a recent with Dick and Dodie Taylor before they were off to France to visit daughter Debbie; also he ran into George Tillinghast at the local museum.
Head Class Agent Frank Curtis and Marge had a visit with one of their offspring in Hawaii in March. En route out he stopped in Los Angeles where Bob Morris had gathered some classmates to discuss Alumni Fund giving and to give some thought to that subject related to our 40th in 1976. Present in Bob's office were Darwin Barrett, Ralph Cockcroft, Walt Kadlec, Ken Lieber, Jim Pollock, and Bob. Frank and Marge and Harry Coronis and Rose (who just happened to be there on business) rounded out the group. On the way home Frank stopped in San Francisco where he had lunch with SumnerBurrows. Ed Drechsel thought that most of the area '36ers would be participating in the "Dartmouth in San Francisco" program later in May. Hopefully someone out there will take time to write us with some news as to what goes on.
Hope you all have a good summer and if you can find time for a card or note as to what you are doing, it would be of interest not only to me but to the rest of the Class. I'd like to start the fall with a full mailbox.
