1930

Participants in the various events of the October Woodstock reunion numbered just under 100. At the Saturday dinner, Dean Wiggin received the 1930 Award, with Fred Scribner making the presentation and providing an interesting account of this remarkable guy who before coming to Dartmouth attended Phillips Exeter and Clark School, and worked as a grocery clerk for four years, then dedicated his life to a New Hampshire career in government, law, and civic affairs. A very special 1930 award was made to John Dickey, Bicentennial Professor of Public Affairs, with citation by John French. In accepting the award, John emphasized how essential the role of the Class is to the College, shared with us the Hopkins’ definition of the role of president-emeritus as “parsley on a good steak,” then spoke with authority on the Canadian situation, which he described as a “Crisis of nationalism.” John was the first grantee under the 1930 Fellowship. The second was Margaret Mead, who spent three days in Hanover in November and spoke on cultural pluralism.

There will be another Woodstock, October 13-15, Yale game, and a block of rooms has been reserved at the Woodstock Inn. Priscillaand Fred Bowes are “recovering well from our illnesses of last year and hope to attend the next ’3O foregathering. Our elder son Rick ’63, has resigned as vice president of South Shore Publishing Company to form his own consulting and service firm, Graphics Management Inc. It applies computer technology to the printing and publishing industries and will be based in Dux- bury. Son Warren, Harvard ’67, is vice presi- dent, marketing, of Columbia Yacht, now work- ing with the noted Australian, Alan Payne, designer of the two Gretels. Mike Fraser (Washington), recovering from hip surgery, is looking forward to digging a few divots at Congressional Country Club. Ben Houghton, Seattle physician, has moved to Lopez Island,

northwest of Seattle and east of Victoria; his ad- dress is General Delivery. Lyle Rossiter, Esq., has moved from Glen Ellyn to another Woodstock, this one in Illinois.

We have learned with sorrow of the death of Paul B. Hoffman on August 4.

Woodstock regrets from Edie and Jack Fitz-patrick, who summer on Cape Cod and winter in Sarasota, and from Chuck Faye, who votes for an earlier and more foliageful meeting next year. Fred Tangeman (San Diego) writes, “The Dartmouth group here at Rancho Bernado totals 20 or more, ranging from ’22 up. We meet monthly, and a pretty good cross-section of in- formation on the College comes to the surface. If you have any information on Ev Low or Charlie Rauch, I’d sure like to hear it.” Well, Ev is our new vice president and Charlie bowls on the green. Hope they’ll provide Fred with more first-hand information. Fannie and Alan Leslie have “departed Los Angeles after some 29 years and moved to the desert (La Quinta), joining the swelling army of crocks seeking to warm their 'aging bones. Ofcourse, we’re less than 150 miles from our metropolis, close enough should culthfaK-ox-Aither attractions demand our ''presence.”

The Haffenreffers and John Frenches spent several weeks this fall among the Greek Islands and Yugoslavia. Don Shaskan has visited Samoa and Tahiti. Sylvia and A 1 Kronengold are off to Israel, Greece, and Turkey. A 1 retired in January from his insurance business, and they intend to continue living in Kew Gardens, N.Y. Ruth and Burt Crandell are off to Nepal, over- night at Everest View Hotel (13,000 feet), and then to India and Ceylon for a total of five weeks. Vera and Ranney Hobbs last summer traveled to London, Yugoslavia, and Istanbul. Ranney is now working exclusively for BCMA Associates, the publishing consulting firm he organized in 1971.

Lillian and Bill Lucas are enjoying their 13th year at Vero Beach, where Bill is a real estate salesman specializing in investment property. They would enjoy seeing any 1930 Florida tran- sients. Dick Bowlen’s retirement activities in- clude serving as a consultant for Vermont Academy and as a trustee of Kurn Hattin Homes of Westminster, and farming Christmas trees.

Bob Marr will serve as West Coast reunion chairman for a Tuesday-Thursday meeting at Ojai Valley Inn, mid-June of 1978. This has been an annual affair, but Bob is going to make it bigger and better than ever. Happy Holidays!
