1962

For those of you who missed the Brown game, you also missed the first nor'easter of the year. Great time to take the kids to their first Dartmouth game. Six inches of water and more coming by the minute. It wasn't a complete washout, as oldest son Jeff was asked to be a water boy for Brown (freak circumstance). And so the Dartmouth tradition continues to live as another Hoover was on the bench at Memorial Field on a cold and wet late October Saturday.

On that same weekend your executive committee met and began to determine your fate for our 15th. Happy to report that John Knight is your reunion chairman and that John Walters will be heading up the reunion year gift campaign. (Wonder what it'll be like to hear from someone other than John Clarke, whose mail comes more often than the oil man's bill in January.) Looks as if we've got a good start for the bash. Start making your plans.

News beat: Who's that young senior V.P. at the First Pennsylvania Bank and Trust in Philadelphia? Kent Graham is the correct answer and belated congratulations go out to Kent.

Next time you fellows are in Honolulu check in. with Steve Reid. Since leaving the University of Michigan Business School Steve spent some time with Metropolitan Life and then started up J. Stephen Reid, C.L.U. and Associates in Hawaii, which is an "all lines insurance brokerage." Alice and the children (Kristen, 7 and Sonja, 4) are ready for all '62 visitors.

Taking on an important and, in some ways, difficult task is Ed Cooper. Ed and Nancy accepted a large responsibility last spring and welcomed their adopted Vietnamese daughter Chandra Lien (one year old) to their Ann Arbor, Mich., home. There she joins the Cooper's three-year-old Lisa. Ed is busy turning out law school graduates for the University of Michigan law school.

The Class never ceases to impress me as to its members accomplishments. Recently in Chicago at the U.S. Industrial Film Festival the Silver Screen Award was presented to Focus onAbility the first Red Cross film on teaching swimming to the handicapped. The producer and director of this production was our own John Allen. John joined the Red Cross' public relations and audio visual staff in 1973 after a late change in careers (Fie had been teaching at the Newtrier, Ill., school system).

A British Columbia vacation for 1960sproduces a catch and smiles for JackHodgson, Gail Leach, Barbara Hodgson,and old school-shirted Gus Leachman.
