In 1928 the Huntington family bought a farm in Orford, N.H., and Ken and Marj spent considerable time there during the summer months. Many of the Class visited there.

JOHN EDSON DAVIS, son and father of Dartmouth men, died October 24, 1977, after a brief illness. Following graduation, John worked as an industrial engineer in the woolen industry throughout New England. As the woolen mills moved south, John did not, and he spent many years with a paper company in northern New Hampshire. After retiring, he and his wife, Jean Farjeon Davis, moved to the coast of Maine, where he lived and played until his death.

My memories of John are not from his college years. I did not meet him until the 1940's. Since then, my friendship with him had been continuous. He took from Dartmouth a deep appreciation of knowledge which he conveyed to those near to him. The words "I don't know" were not the sound of frustration and defeat, but rather the beginning of a quest for an answer.

His ability to discuss a myriad of subjects with understanding and expertise was a constant source of amazement to me. John saw education as an exciting and essential part of living, not, as far too many of us view it, as a means to monetary enrichment.

As our relationship matured, certain aspects of his personality frustrated me. I never discussed politics with him - or labor unions. But such things do not dim my feelings. He was a caring and complex man. He was my father. We, his family and his friends, shall miss him dearly.

It is with sadness and regret that those classmates who had the good fortune to know him well mark the unexpected death on October 7, 1977 of OLIVER P. "HUCK" NEWBERRY JR. in Fort Worth of a recently developed heart condition.

Huck, one of the few Texans in '48, first saw Hanover in July 1944 during World War II when he arrived as one of a group of about 250 civilians to begin his freshman year. During his years in Hanover, where he roomed in various dorms and Kappa Sigma, Huck had a significant number of close friends. He was appreciated for his finely tuned humor, reliable good sense, and friendly, gruff sarcasm. Among these compatriots were '48s Bob Bastian, Bill Burke, Bob Douglas, Jack Hamilton, George Michalek, and Gino Pierleone, while fellow Texan Bill Meeker '49 was perhaps his most constant friend until the latter's aircrash death a few years ago.

Huck attended law school at the University of Texas after Dartmouth and received his L.L.B. in 1954, following which he joined a Forth Worth law firm where he .specialized in oil and gas law. At the time of his death he was in the oil exploration business with his geologist brother, W. B. "Beegie" Newberry '49.

Since 1973, Skip had been under treatment for cancer, and in August 1977 was permanently disabled by the disease-. Although he was bed-ridden during the final seven months of his illness, he maintained his calm and level-headed attitude, and bore his suffering with quiet grace and dignity. Unless one has actually experienced it, one can't possibly imagine the ordeal of watching a still-young man die of cancer. I know those who knew Skip will be saddened by his untimely death. It seems such a waste of a productive life; but, in his suffering, he set an example which we will all remember and profit from, although it will be a long time before the burden of his loss is diminished.

Skip is survived by his widow Ingrid, a son, three daughters, a brother and a sister, and by his parents, Estelle and Walter L. Hetfield III '29.

ELLIOTT KOFOED, 26V passed away on Sunday, November 27 at True Farm in Meriden, N.H., after a long fight against cancer. He is the son of Marilyn and William Kofoed '55 and the grandson of Miami Herald columnist Jack Kofoed.

He attended Miami Shores elementary school and North Miami junior and senior high school, where he was president of the student council. He was also a member of the swimming team. During high school, syndicated columnist Jim Bishop devoted an entire column to Elliott, exemplifying him as one of the country's future leaders.

Following graduation from North Miami High, Elliott entered Dartmouth College, where he was graduated with honors. It was at Dartmouth that he became intensely interested in ecology and the environment, and pursued - up to a few months before his passing - the fight against nuclear power plants, primarily the one being constructed in Seabrook, N.H.

Following graduation from Dartmouth, he worked in the social, agricultural, and environmental areas before taking a leave of absence for one year to achieve a life-long dream of visiting Central and South America. He departed from New Hampshire on a Vespa motor scooter and drove through most countries in Central and South America before returning to the United States.

In 1975, several months after recuperating from hepatitis, cancer was discovered. He underwent traditional chemotherapy, which failed to achieve notable results, and went to Mexico to try laetrile as well as alternate cancer therapies, which included natural foods and high vitamin dosages. For about a year, he experienced a remission. During that time, he lectured widely about cancer. He even obtained a court order allowing him to import laetrile legally into the United States for his own use.

Shortly after his return to New Hampshire, cancer broke out again, and the radiation treatments and extensive chemotherapy failed to achieve results. Besides his parents and grandparents, Elliott is survived by two sisters and a nephew. Services and cremation were in Hanover, N.H.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Elliott Kofoed Memorial Fund, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H.
