1927
The annual fall reunion the second weekend in October continues to be an exciting event when members can renew their Dartmouth heritage and compare notes of what has taken place during the past year. Frank Strong and Tom Gillespie continue to keep the Friday-Saturday program rolling with headquarters again at Susse Chalet Motor Lodge at White River Jet. Sam Wormser reports on the Alumni Fund and Paul Revere O'Connell looks after the golfers at Quechee Country Club.
With Charlie Allen spicing up the banquet with a colored movie of his African travels, he will have to compete for attention with CurtWright, last year's entertainer, who is now on a campaign for Senior Masters Championships and thinks that all of us should be able to run the 50 and 440, put the shot and make the long jump like he has been doing this year (see SportsIllustrated, June 2, page 85).
President Ken Murray and the executive committee are working with Rog Bury and the Fiftieth Reunion committee on plans for June 1977. Everybody should arrange their travel schedules to include this event.
Jonathan B. Rintels will introduce his new bride Dorothy at fall reunion. They were married in Arlington, Va., August 22. Welcome, Mrs. Rintels.
The secretary is delighted to have received more cards and letters from classmates which offset the increased number of obituaries to be written. Since last October we have lost Rollin Furbush, Thomas Wheeler, Hiram McKee, Fred Thompson, Carlton Gilbert, Reynolds Guyer, Paul Woelfel, Douglas Warner, James Picken, Roswell Nichols, John Roe, Richard Hood, Elmer Worth, Donald Burnham, Arthur Lund, and John Wilson.
Earl and Gertrude Krogstad are enjoying retirement in Texas. Last year they revisited Montana and found his grandfather's log cabin still standing behind the old ranch house, and trout still in Sour Dough Creek where Kroggie used to fish; then back to Winona, Minn., his old home town. Last winter they had a delightful trip to Mexico. But in June 1977 it will be Hanover.
Bill Crane vacationed on Siesta Key, Fla. We suggested he talk to Woody Burgert or DocHarvey about moving there and they will convince him.
Len Dunn of Mesa, Ariz., has the right mental attitude. After undergoing surgery for a tumor which meant taking his right eye, he was determined to resume his activities of golf twice a week, and recently shot a 78. Congratulations!
The Al Lawrences of Key West, Fla., expect to make Homecoming and spend October in New England after a summer and fall trip via CN from Montreal to Juneau with stops at Banff and Vancouver.
Dick Swartzbaugh is still "lawing" in Toledo where Coggy Broer can check on him for the Alumni Fund.
Don Megathlin stopped painting his house in Walpole, Mass., long enough to write he is enjoying retirement but still doing consulting in marketing research now and then.
Dr. Phil Corliss in San Diego, who calls himself a "cardiac cripple," reports that HowieMullin is apparently recovering OK from his heart surgery.
Ethel Loeb says she and Lobo (Hemingway beard and all) hope to get to fall reunion but that Leon has trouble walking. However, they were able to spend some time in England, as well as a week in Paris and Holland.
Doane Arnold and Marie came down from Maine to Plymouth to help Charlie Bartlett celebrate his 70th birthday. Brick Stone and KenBallantyne and wives also were there but Charlie failed to send us the picture of the four couples to share with you. Doane was recently elected president of Long Lake Lodge, Inc., a summer tutoring camp for boys and girls.
The Chuck Brewsters summered in Maine again, arriving early enough to plant their vegetable garden. Norm and Ruth Swift have a cottage on the next point.
Ted Girault says there are no "Jaws" sharks where he swims at Southampton. The Giraults expect to be at fall reunion.
The Red Sox have really heated up Boston says Bill Elliott who now has substituted jogging and tennis for chasing flies in left field.
The Charlie Fleischers saw Tom Gillespie and talked to Sid Harris when they came north from Delray Beach in June. They hope to see FrellOwl when they spend a week in North Carolina in October.
