1927

Art Keleher must think we are picking on him. We left his name out of the list of 1927's who earned their "D" in football, and then didn't list him as a member of Green Key. Our apologies, Art, but "50 Years Ago" is taken from old copies of The Dartmouth. (Art left college after the football season and received his letter by mail. Later he went on to get his M.A. and Ph.D. and a career in NYC School ad- ministration. He is now retired, and playing golf at Dunedin, Florida.)

Much to the dismay of their grandson, who will take his Dartmouth semester abroad in France next summer, the Rog Burys have reluctantly placed their yacht, "The Passagemaker," on the market. This is so Rog can devote his time and efforts to being chairman of our 50th Reunion.

The Passagemaker is the yacht the Burys sailed across the Atlantic a few years ago and have kept there, returning each summer to explore the Continent, often with classmates aboard. Rog denies that he forsook IBM for the CIA and says it is merely coincidence that political unrest followed their visits to various countries. He promises fireworks (but no barn burnings) for our 50th.

Treasurer Gus Cummings reports there were some blessings in the mixup on the bills for class dues. He is getting more mail! Many, like Chuck Field and Ding Heap, who had sent in only $10, have written with the additional $5. Bill (Red) Elliott said, "I hasten to cover the class dues as per latest Speakeasy. What a financial foul up?" George Provost wrote, "Almost time for a 'late' charge. This was mislaid." From Al Macdonald, "Yep, I am slow. This got shoved back." With Doc Milliken's $15 check came, "You were given strong support at fall reunion as not being responsible for the dues rediction."

We trust you have all read the excellent material on the Bequest and Estate Planning Program sent out by 1927's chairman, Paul Revere O'Connell. The life income trusts have a potent appeal to anyone with paper profits in stocks who wants to avoid capital gains taxes and sales commissions, yet receive gift tax deductions based on their current value, while retaining the income for life. That's really having your cake and eating it too!

After chairing the Friday golf at Quechee at fall reunion and attending the executive committee meeting, Paul and Helen O'Cornell took in our 45th reunion at Harvard Law School, then on to Pinehurst for a week. There were 76 members present for the senior golf society "Three Score and Ten." Paul reached the finals, but lost out when his opponent played the last nine holes in one over par to win one up.

You Red Sox fans must envy Ruel Colby, retired sports writer for the Concord, N.H., Monitor, who keeps his hand in by covering their spring training at Winter Haven, Fla., 80 miles from his winter home at South Pasadena on the gulf. You can be sure he will be at some of the games in Boston this summer when he is home at Bow, N.H.

The Supreme Court of Ohio has appointed Chuck Baker to a three-year term on the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline. The Board meets quarterly to review charges against lawyers and judges and make recommendations.

Vic Duplin says their 243 acres in Lynchburg, Va., are producing over 100 Angus each year on grass and hay. That keeps Vic and Fannie in reasonably good health.

Paul Hannah, who represented the Class at Bill North's funeral, has sent to Dick's House in Hanover a copy of "Dublin School 1935-1970" which not only has references to Bill's teaching at the school for 35 years but contains the commencement address, "That Long Legacy of Echo," which Bill made to the seniors there and which is a fine expression of the philosophy of this unusually gifted teacher.

Coggy Broer represented the Class at the burial in Toledo of Stew Schackne. Ten days later Dick Swartzbaugh represented the Class at Coggy's memorial service.
