1931

Brief notes via John Cogswell — Barney Ash: "Couldn't persuade any of my children, two boys and a girl, to go to Dartmouth — so I am pleased that my youngest, the girl, is teaching there this year."

Skip Clow: "Still enjoying retirement — winters in Florida and summers in New Hampshire. I find it takes less and less to keep me busy."

Spence Cram: "Hanover is a long way back in time for me. Never see or hear from anyone, and there are only two or three Hanoverians in this area."

Mai Hall: "Re: proposed change in ratio, I commented to my next-door neighbor, 'Someday the women will take over and there will be no men left at Dartmouth.' Her reply: 'lt's time they got out. They've had it long enough.' "

Mil Hallenbach: "No news, but what a great reunion! As Winchell used to say 'Orchids to the committee.' "

Clif Harris: "Virginia and I are fine. Looking forward to Naples, Fla., in December."

Bill Hayden: "Last year we took on another store, making it five. If I could get them all going in the same direction at the same time, I wouldn't have anything to worry about. They don't all go in the same direction at the same time, and 1 do have plenty to worry about; and that keeps me busy seven days a week and about 65 hours a week average. Tried taking a vacation three years ago, but found the work didn't go away just because I did. However, since, I believe, I am next to the youngest member of our class (66 next Saturday), I guess my youth will see me through."

Dick Holbrook: "After a few weeks vacation with our daughter Peggins and her family, we are now back in Phoenix for my 12th season as a local ad man — and quite content with the role. Also hope to visit son Peter '61 in northern California — perhaps to attend the opening of his one-man show at #3 of his galleries. He also shows and sells his paintings through two fine galleries in Chicago and San Francisco."

Jim Rick: "Sorry, but have no news worthy of the print. Ginny and I certainly did enjoy the 45th. It was wonderful to renew so many friendships. Hope to make the 50th."

A classmate who prefers anonymity kindly sent us a clipping from the November 18 SanFrancisco Chronicle which reports that NickOleksiw, a widower with three children, is to wed Jane Olds November 26 at St. Dominic's Catholic Church. A reception for the couple is planned by her son William Olds Jr., and her daughter and son-in-law, Jane and Anthony Zanze at the Zanze's home in Pacific Heights. Nick is retired from Macy's, where he was treasurer and controller.

Doug Woodring writes: "The week before the Yale game, Bee and I, with my sister and her husband, had a perfect week at the Brummers' Woodbound Inn in Jaffrey, N.H. We loved our little cottage on the lake under Mt. Monadnock, with foliage at its height, and warm hospitality with good home cooking. Woodbound is a rare and delightful haven in this Hilton world because it is a reflection of Ed and Peg Brummer.

"One day Jack Bean took us through his match factory. It was exciting to see how our reunion matches were made. Then we had a visit with Margaret and Jack in their charming hilltop home.

"Any '3ler yearning for the unspoiled New Hampshire he once knew should try Jaffrey and Brummers'."

Further from Doug Morris (See December notes): "All the foregoing I can write without vanity, because it's almost as though I were writing about somebody else. At 66, I'm in great health — ride my bike, play tennis singles, hike a lot (actually no time for golf, the game I enjoy most), and travel Arizona as much as possible. I'm cramming on the history of the American Indian, because I intend to do something about that problem. Our four offspring — Charlie, Chet, Sheila, and Jack, are healthy and happy adults; and our seven grandchildren, ages five to 14, are, of course, beautiful and brilliant. And, mirabile dictu, they are all among the best friends we have.

"About Sun City — there isn't time to tell you; but I will let you in on a secret: Sun City is the most exciting experiment-in-living going on anywhere in the world today. It's now 37,000 people, from 50 states and 15 countries, average age approximately 65, inventing a new kind of society. There's more than enough talent here to staff a major university or corporation. I have no idea where* it's going; but, wherever it heads, I intend to be one of the traffic cops.

"I was too busy for the 45th; but I'll see you at the 50th."
