1930

News from our Hanover classmates. Charlie Widmayer is chairman of the town finance committee and a member of the executive board and publicity chairman of The Friends of Hopkins Center. Burt Crandell, who lived in Oak Park, Ill., and was president of State Oil Company until he retired in 1973, now summers and falls in Hanover at Brook Hollow. For the balance of the year Ruth and he live on the Bahamian out island of Eleuthera, where they built a home in 1961 and established a citrus grove which is now producing bountifully. Daughters Jane and Gail and six grandchildren all get to Eleuthera at least once a year. Billie and Boof Perkins now live in their former summer camp outside Manchester in Peaceful Valley in the Uncanoonuc Mountains. They have traveled frequently to London to visit son Cric and his English wife, who are parents of four. Daughter Penny Upton lives in Concord, and Steve, their oldest of five, graduated magna cum laude in the Class of 1977. Sometimes in mid-winter Boof wonders what they are doing in New Hampshire, but for ten months of the year they prefer "pines to palms."

Our sympathy is extended to Gordon Hoxie in the loss of his wife Elizabeth on September 19.

Helene and Pete Callaway are moving from John's Island to 204 Kaanapali Drive, Napa, Calif. Daughter Betsey lives in San Francisco, and son Peter is in Arizona. Alice and HermSanders have moved to their new home by a wildlife pond, and Herm is "busy salvaging 150 pine trees blown down by last May's snow storm, taking ballroom dancing lessons to keep active, and working in Exeter Hospital emergency room 14 hours every Friday night." Bill Fenton is "acting as a trustee of the Museum of the American Indian in New York City, which takes a lot of time, It cuts in on writing and fishing, which is serious. The second volume of my edition of J. F. Lafitau's Customsof the American Indians is coming off the press in Scotland shortly for the Champlain Society of Toronto. I am back teaching my seminar on the history of anthropology at the University of Albany and have fourteen graduate students."

Ed Frost gets about from his home base of Nashville and during the past year visited Nantucket, Hilton Head, Saint Simons Island, and Wequetonsing on Michigan's upper peninsula, where he spent every summer as a boy. "Hadn't been back in 52 years. Changed? Not one bit. The charming late Victorian houses around the bay are all there, not one added, not one removed. No stores, motels, or high rises, exactly as it was. Isn't that something?"

Milt Fleishman writes, "We are enjoying our new home in Oakmont, Santa Rosa, an 'adult community' where we have lived for the past three months. With more opportunity to play golf, I'm finally getting rid of some of the bugs that have always plagued me. Do occasional travel booking, and will continue to travel several times a year."

And here is a report from County Cork's Harry Casler. "Life hereabout trips along at a leisurely rhythm that only an Irish atmosphere can conjure. Have had four Dartmouth visitations so far this year, including Charlie andAnne McDonough back in March. Other Thirtyteers notable by their absence. Our eldest son, Chris, is in Hollywood after pulling up Washington, D.C., stakes, working some with Collie Young. His latest movie production, which he directed and co-authored, TeenageGraffiti, is in wide distribution. Rosemary and I plan to do our annual Christmas thing by reuning with family and friends at the Christmas season in the U.S. Meantime, the hay is in, turf stacked against colder weather, while our (three) asses stand by to be cheerfully patted. Drop by when your travels bring you to this part of the world."
