1929

Thanks for your notes to Jack Hubbard, which keep rolling in. Here are some more:

Ed Walsh: "Retirement going fine — play a fair amount of golf. I am doing some part-time work for the National Account Marketing Association, of which I have been a member for many years. Our youngest son, Bob, is starting a stage career in NYC. Currently he is with the Green Mountain Guild in WRJ.

Bill Dodge: "Seem to be busy because everything takes so much longer. Have become a member of the New London (N.H.) Planning Board, a job certain to guarantee being in trouble."

Bill Marmion: "The last year has been quite eventful for Lucile and me. We have been able to liquidate most of our ties so that we can join the ranks of 'has beens' — we can have the freedom to do some of the things we have been talking about while we are still well and happy. November will be our month in Hawaii. I don't see how we can possibly do all the things we are thinking of next year."

Irv Hanssmann: "Retired from private practice of medicine a year and a half ago. Got bored so am now staff physician at Glenwood State Hospital School for Mentally Retarded — it is most interesting and a great challenge. My wife Elaine and I are both quite well. My son Dennett is starting the practice of psychiatry in Los Angeles. He and his wife Joan are expecting a baby in December. My daughter Camille lives in Omaha and has a master's degree in social work. She has a three-year-old son, Mark. Her husband is in sales work."

Sonny Hetfield: "Still playing golf and fishing without making any judicial decisions. We spent most of the past winter in Naples, Fla., where they organized a Dartmouth Club a couple of years ago. Just a few '29ers are present at the luncheons. My skiing and skating days, I'm afraid, are past."

Bill Davenport: "Retired (mandatorily) in 1973. Still teach part-time, do articles, lecture, and consult. Main field of work: interplay between technology and the arts. Have published and lectured recently in Reston, Va., on science and ethics. Am now a member of the Advisory Board of the Harvard Program on Science, Technology, and Values. Will go as consultant to Huntsville in December and January to assist in setting up a 20-year commemorative exhibit on space travel. You might call this applied humanities."

Jeff Stearns: "Our news is that I am retiring the end of October. We bought a condo in Florida last March and sold our home here in Bellerose (N.Y.). Our new "address is The Longwood-3-2-H, 11811 PGA Boulevard, Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. 33404. We are looking forward to it, although it is a wrench to leave this village where between us we have almost 110 years of residence! Tough to leave our friends, and we will miss all the gang at the fail reunions. However, God willing, we plan to make it to Hanover for the 50th."

Bill Magenau: "Recently we took off for Wells River to attend the wedding of one of Earl and Harriet Fyler's daughters. We learned that last spring during a power blackout Harriet fell backwards down a flight of stairs. This would seem enough to stagger almost anyone, but Harriet was lucky — no bones were broken and she is recovering from the pains and bruises. On the way home we stopped for a most pleasant visit in Cape Elizabeth with Chris and JaneBorn. We were fortunate to find them at home, which they use as a base of operations for travels far and wide."

Frank Headley of Dover, N.J., rolled up a 30,000-vote plurality as the Republican candidate for County Clerk of Morris County in the November election. This will be his fourth five-year term — congratulations! As Frank told the press, "The Republican Party has finally come back to its own in Morris County."

Harry Baehr suffered a heart attack just before Christmas — our very best wishes go to him and Jo-Ann. We hope recovery is rapid,
