Bones Jones and his wife Rena spent a few weeks in Sebasco, Me., this summer. Their two sons and families spent part of the time with them, celebrating Rena's 80th birthday.

Ernest Unangst reports from his home in Eau Gallie, Fla., that he is in pretty good health but his wife Anne is plagued with arthritis. They have one daughter and three sons, ten grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren. Two of their sons graduated from Dartmouth in the Class of 1940. Bob is chief of surgery at Huntington Hospital on Long Island, and Ray is a vice president of American Airlines in L.A.

Ken Phelps says he and Ora will attend the Stanford football games again this year. The stadium seats 100,000 and is only a five-minute drive from their home and has free parking.

Harold Sprague reports that he lost his wife Olive January 30, 1970 and now has a very efficient housekeeper. Hal has a deep interest in all surviving class members and has missed the class notes.

In August Karen and I attended the 75th Conclave of Sigma Phi Epsilon in St. Louis. I attended as the oldest living grand president of the fraternity. Arthur Lord stayed on in Hanover after Reunion to edit our July issue of Tenner Topics. He then visited one of his daughters in Madison, Wis., and later proceeded to Los Angeles and spent the month of August with his daughter Eleanor. Art writes that after several years of effort he has finished the historical record of the Lord family started by his brother Fred. After many years of historical writing he says he will now confine his writing to Tenner Topics.

Vic Willis entered with our Class but later transferred to M.I.T. and graduated as a civil engineer in 1911, the same year I graduated from Thayer School. Vic spent ten years with Stone & Webster building dams and power plants all over the country. He remained in the engineering and construction field until he retired at 80 years in 1968. Vic and his wife Ruth celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary in October 1974.

Bones Jones sent me a financial statement of Jack Bates' company, "Reading and Bates Offshore Drilling Company." Jack is still a director and Jack Jr., is board chairman and chief executive officer. The company drills and pumps oil wells all over the world and also operates pipe lines. It is a very prosperous company. A salute to classmate Jack!

For many years Malcolm was head of the Department of Geography at University of Southern California. After his retirement he and his wife Ella lived on their ranch at Calistoga, Calif., until Ella's death.
