1949

The holidays are about over, the Bowl games have all been decided, much to the chagrin of my Michigan wife, and now it's back to work on a full-time basis again with the start of a new year. It was a very enjoyable season for us, and I hope you all found it as pleasant as we did.

I received a letter from Charlie Fay, bringing us up to date on his activities in Corona, Calif. He is teaching social studies in Corona, which is about 45 minutes east of Los Angeles. He has recently been president of the Teachers Association, and is now on the California Teachers' Association State Council, involved with the federal legislation committee. Outside of the educational area, the parks and recreation committee of the City of Corona has kept him occupied since 1973. His family consists of his wife Nancy and two children - C. J., seven years, and Jennifer, four years. He plans to be in Hawaii early in January, and later that month will be hiking in the Grand Canyon area with about 45 kids. These D.O.C. fellows never give up, do they?

Another of our classmates, Einar Grell, is also a member of the teaching profession. He's director of science at Half Hollow High School in Deer Park, N.Y. When he's not teaching, he's boating, either off Fire Island, N.Y., or in the West Indies. He sells real estate on Dominica, West Indies, scuba dives in the Virgin Islands, owns five working boats, and fishes. He holds three world records for flounder, fluke and weakfish and is looking forward to the time when he can retire and move to the British West Indies and operate a banana boat between Trinidad and the Grenadines. His oldest daughter graduated from college and is teaching, one son is completing law school, another daughter is a nurse, and his two youngest sons are in high school in Deer Park, where they play competitive hockey. It sounds like he and his wife Helen have a very active and interesting life.

A notice from the College indicates that Mark Feer has been named treasurer of the united chapters of Phi Beta Kappa and the Phi Beta Kappa foundation.

Lou Farrar reports that he is still holding forth at the Morgan Guaranty Trust Company. He's been there 27 years and is now a vice president in charge of real estate lending activities. He remarried Alison Erskine Hoyt in 1968. Between them they have seven children. One is married, one a graduate of Beloit College, another a graduate of the University of Vermont, one has finished two years at Denver University, another two years at University of Vermont, one is a freshman at Beloit College, and another works in the New York area. It must have been quite a Christmas with all of them home. Lou says he saw the Big Green bow to Yale this fall in a typhoon. The only Dartmouth people he saw there were the members of the football-team.

Slade Gorton was re-elected to a third term as Washington State attorney general last month. He is also president of the National Association of Attorney Generals. They have recently added a 15-year-old foster child to their own 17, 16, and 14-year-olds.
