1924

From time to time I receive requests for information regarding classmates - particularly addresses. This is just a reminder that I have such records, through which in several cases contacts have been made and friendships, dormant for many years, have been renewed.

Jimmie and Helen Reid are taking a month's air-sea cruise to Honolulu, the South Pacific, and New Zealand. Having returned to Arizona - if they survive a 13-hour flight from New Zealand - it will soon be time to return east again.

The Lamsons, leaving behind snow-covered Wellesley, are presently enjoying the warmth of Delray Beach; at least we hope it is warmth.

And here is a first from Florida: Ken Emerson in writing to Sam Lamson reports that on the day he wrote he was not playing golf because of snowflakes in the air - in Sarasota!

Kenny Smith - retired for ten years from his mortgage banking business in Minneapolis - now resides in Pompano Beach, Fla. He and Jane will soon observe their 54th wedding anniversary. This certainly calls for congratulations.

Sam Ellis is still raising the most expensive beef in the country on Foxport Farm in Barboursville, Va., but takes enough time off to collect a few trophies on the senior golf circuit.

Bob Benjamin (retired colonel USA) reports on his ability as a housewife during the illness of his wife. We hope that she is now improved, and that Bob has time for other activities.

Dave and Barbara Strong anticipated their 50th anniversary, which occurs in June, with a trip to Europe. During 1976 Barbara was much involved in bi-centennial activities in their town of Morris, Conn., and was the author of a book on Morris Academy, which was founded in 1790. Dave reports that many Dartmouth graduates were involved in the establishment of the school. The Strongs spend the winter at Lake Chapala in Mexico.

Albert Anderson, who recalls the many hours he spent working for the Dartmouth Press while in college, has now retired from the ministry and is living with his son Albert '51, in Sandwich, Mass.

Doc Christophe continues to play in the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra, an organization connected with the New England Conservatory of Music, plus participating in the Chatham Band, where he still plays the alto horn as he did many years ago in the college band.

The Larry Fishbeins are moving to Florida from Bermuda. They will make their home in Hollywood. Larry feels that, after many years in Bermuda, Florida offers more comfortable living than life among the tourists in Bermuda.

Stan and Barbara Chittick are now on a trip to South America, the latest report coming from Bolivia.

Beatie Adams has just returned from a trip to California, where she visited her daughter Jeannie and her husband in Mendocino.

Sid Fish has observed that we are now halfway along to our 55th reunion - to which I say, "Amen." I would also add that we are now only months away from the weekend of October 22, when we gather at Bonnie Oaks for our fall reunion.
