1915

The big news at the end of this summer season is the success of the 1978 Alumni Fund campaign in going over the top and another Green Derby for Duze Lounsberry and his efficient team. Fifteeners who read the June issue of the "Frontiersman" realize that this fine record of '15 was due to the magnificent bequest of our deceased classmate Harold S. Turner and his wife Helen D. Plumb, amounting to $346,979, the income from which is to be credited to the annual Alumni Fund of the Class.

Dale Barker's dedicated campaign of writing birthday greetings to classmates is beginning to pay off. Replies to his greetings, which have been forwarded to me to acknowledge via this column include:

Art Sterling, who expresses pride in his nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He does some oil painting from time to time.

Al Bradley, who expressed appreciation for the greeting and commented that arthritis has caused considerable slowing up in activity, even to the extent that he does not drive a car any more.

A letter from Becky Lyons, daughter of ChanFoster, which expressed the pleasure her father got from the greeting. Chan would be happy to hear from his old buddies. His address is Pilgrim House, Peabody Nursing Home, Route 128 and Forest Street, Peabody, Mass.

Kent Smith, who writes that he and Thelma enjoy the wonders of nature as they do gardening and listening to music.

Art Boggs, who reports fairly good health but finds it difficult to get back to reunions because of the distance between Boise, Idaho, and Hanover.

Dick Merrill, who reports some difficult health problems but says he enjoys reading news of Dartmouth and especially 1915.

Harold Pinkham, who writes that while he is in pretty good health, his wife Mildred is not so well. He sent "birthday advice on how to live to be 100. Live it up 'til you're 99, then be verry, verry careful."

We trust that more birthday greetings will bring further information from classmates.
