The Harvard game drew a large number of '60s to Hanover this fall.' Many familiar faces were spotted in the end zone, including Arnie and Marcie Sigler, Tom and Dorla Brock, Zoo and Abby Gazley, Bob Kenerson, Al Summer, Bob Boye, Harry Bruckner, Spence Morgan, Chuck Brower and Bob Prouty. I bumped into John Guy, Dick Petrie and Sol Rockenmacher while trying to work my way into Memorial Stadium. Dick is a cardiologist and Sol a pediatrician and are affiliated with the same group of doctors in Dover, N.H.
Al Danson and his lovely new bride Silvia stopped to see the game while on their honeymoon. Al and Silvia were married in Mexico City one week earlier and Al couldn't resist a trip back to his favorite ski areas, even though he was a couple of weeks too early for the snow. The Dansons will be living in a penthouse apartment near the American Embassy in Mexico Cits' where Al is in the investment business with Mexican Financial Advisory Service, S.A. Al fears that the devaluation of the peso will put a serious crimp in his skiing budget, at least as far as trips to Stowe are concerned.
