And how about a class reunion in London? The occasion in mid-October was a meeting of the Dartmouth Club of London at ancient Middle Temple Hall. Present, and not even on a tour together, Henrietta and Bob Hage, Margaret and Don Radasch, and Marj and Dave Buxbaum.
Dave Smith writes he's "still making the 6400-mile round trip commute between S.F. and Hanover but unfortunately they do not hold the trustees' meetings at the time of our annual fall reunion." In November Dave held a reception for our med school dean, Jim Strickler '50. 200 Dartmouth doctors and spouses were invited, including Phoebe and Frank Van Kirk.
Will Ogg still swings the sticks effectively! Was sitting with him at the New London "Country Squires" meeting recently when suddenly, you guessed it, the low gross winner in their golf tournament was announced. (Score not mentioned for publication!) Fran and Will will be in Florida when you read this. Two classmates will shortly be joining them at Hilltop Place in New London. Ibba and DonHagerman are expected to move there after Don's retirement as headmaster at Holderness School next June. Also Jean and Al Brush will be building there next spring.
In one of his delightful issues, "Tear Bag" coeditor Dero Saunders raised our collective eyebrows about AI Ritchie's attendance at the "International Switching Symposium" in Japan. Now we come to Don Richardson, who reports going to the "Reliability Symposium" in Las Vegas of all places. H-m!
Ted Huck reports that, even after losing money on the golf course to all three of BobMorris, Dick Montgomery, and Frank Wright, he still plans to retire on January 1 and will then leave for three months in Palm Desert. Watch out Ed Ramsey and Bill Mumler!
Eleanor and Jack AuWerter have their fifth and last child, Mary, now enrolled in Skidmore and highly enthusiastic about it. (Trustee George Colton, please note.) Jack says, "Anyone phoning us can now finally get through and any call from a classmate will be super welcome."
The Maine Sunday Telegram caught my eye with this social note under "Newlyweds Return." "Mr. & Mrs. Reynolds E. Moulton of Bay View Estates, Raymond, attended the Harvard-Dartmouth game en route from a two-week stay at their lodge in South Hero, Vt." Lots of others were there too in the vicinity of Row A behind the Harvard bench! Didn't have much chance to visit but saw these brethren not looking a day older: Cushman, Reagan, Lane,Brush, Stainsby, Keith Rogers, Alexander, HallColton, Adams, Somers, McLellan, and Hawkins.
The Yale game was, in the words of president Harry Ferries, a fiasco. Terrible weather and unfortunate confusion about the class tent location cut visibility to the point where RegBankart and Bob Naramore were the only classmates in sight. Better luck next year and let's win!
Columbia game representation was a little better with the local regulars (you might tire of reading our names), together with Nancy and Fred Depinet and Kay and Bob Lull.
Regretfully, I call your attention to the deaths of two classmates which are or will be duly recorded in the obituary section: Bennett Good-man and Fran Chase.
